Bringing beauty and wonder to comedy: superb, jewel-like debut hour of stand-up from @jin_hao_li @ThePleasance, feels like a fresh new voice, joyful, playful and sassy

@tsarzipan @FlawBored @wearesuperfan @Fishamble @stroudandnotes @AdamScottRowley Very kind of you - and thank YOU so much for your fantastic show, which really struck a chord with me (so to speak). Hope you got good audiences and that it was a positive experience all round. Hope you're going to record it too!

Massively impressed (and very moved) by Singing Sands from @oor_theatre @GreensideVenue until Sat 26 - big questions of home and identity in a funny/touching tale of bickering cousins on Eigg - brilliant writing and acting
