This month I am playing yet another deluded, self-aggrandising shyster, only this one actually existed!

Come see one of history's maddest untold stories, it's absolutely nuts.

Blue Bar Productions @bluebarprod.bsky.social · 3d

💸 BASED ON A TRUE STORY | starring @joznorris.bsky.social

Framed as a satirical "8 Steps for Success" motivational talk, this production reimagines the real story of Gregor MacGregor's con as a playful exploration of how deception, greed, and persuasion have endured and evolved across centuries.

Frantically learning lines for this.

It's a ridiculous true story from HISTORY and I'm excited to start bringing it to life in rehearsals next week!

Hahaha, fair point. He also kneecaps a perfectly nice-seeming security guard, though.

Sarah Connor watching the Terminator chuck people through glass windows, breaking their bones, subjecting them to grievous life-changing injuries and thinking "It's great to see human life valued like this."

Joz Norris @joznorris.bsky.social · 10d

Terminator 2 ends with Sarah Connor saying "If a machine can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too," because during the film the Terminator accepts an order to not kill anyone and spends the film avoiding human casualties, but he also kneecaps about three dozen cops, so I don't buy it.

Look at these non pareilles tomatoes I found, I literally can't think of anything they are similar to

Joz Norris @joznorris.bsky.social · 16d

"Non pareilles capers" is such a mad name for a product.

"Capers without comparison."

Literally just small capers. Ridiculously easy to compare. Get over yourself, capers.

Went to see @joznorris.bsky.social do his show “You Wait. Time Passes.” at the Soho Theatre and in a year when I’ve seen Stewart Lee and Daniel Kitson it was easily the funniest and most deliberately constructed hour of comedy I’ve seen on stage. Just fantastically, powerfully unhinged. You must go.
