‘This craving to go viral is tiresome’: the artists who’re sick of the pressure to promote on social media From Stewart Lee in his wolf costume to Werner Herzog’s big steak sizzle-up, artists are now under huge duress to ‘chase the algorithm’ and reach audiences. Many of them are hitting burnout – and hitting back

‘This craving to go viral is tiresome’: the artists who’re sick of the pressure to promote on social media

I was attacked by members of the PayPal Mafia, Auerenheimer, Yiannopoulos, Breitbart, 4/8 Chan in 2014-2015, after I criticized Marc Andreessen in the MIT tech review, ultimately resulting in me closing one of the only independent tech critical magazines that existed at this time.

Welcome to Pemfort
Had some real laugh out loud moments and yet it also plunged into a deeper tale than I’d originally assumed.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime

Thank goodness AmDram restores my theatrical equilibrium.
Directed by the two people that directed me in my last show, I made quite a trek to show support and saw a quite brilliant show.

A Mirrored Monet

Got a reasonably priced ticket for a show that interested me. Sadly this was kind of one-paced with pretty but fairly mundane songs. Actors were good but plot and script trudged.

The Authenticator

Interesting play about two history professors investigating some new found ledgers detailing slave trade in Jamaica. Had some gothic horror moments as well as humour, and the actors were great. Didn’t quite gel for me though.

You Stupid Darkness

On paper this would be filed under ‘Not My Thing’. (Dystopia) I went to see it to support a friend and thought it was brilliant. Well crafted play imagining a world hit by catastrophe. Four brilliant actors too.

😪😖😙🤤😌

You know what would be bloody brilliant? If King Charles got replaced with a fox on the new British banknotes. Let's make it happen!

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords seems increasingly appealing as a basis for a system of government.

Summerfolk

A Gorky play written in 1905 and the foreshadowing of the 1917 Russian Revolution is stark.
Beautiful staging and some good acting, but the play was long. I was pleasantly surprised that it was funny, expecting more gloom.

Deep Azure

Incredible play with an astounding cast.
This was written by the late Chadwick Boseman and it shows how great he was. Lyrical, touching, funny and … just so good to watch.
Modern Shakespeare with a deft touch.

Arcadia

Managed to snaffle one of the last tickets of the run the morning of!

Another great show.
This was so clever and interesting too. Loved the staging and the plot and the cast were fab.

Our Town

This was so good. Michael Sheen is outstanding as the ‘stage manager’ telling the tale of a small town in the early 1900’s. Strong ensemble cast too.

Shadowlands

Great performances and interactions, although the play is a little ponderous for me. Hugh Bonneville was excellent in the lead role.

We Will Rock You
Absurd plot line but this was so much fun. Great night watching and listening to a talented cast belt out Queen songs.
