We Are Gathered Here
Everyone you have ever known will die. And so will you. And yet we dance in the looming shadows of mortality, we dance and we talk and we eat and we argue. We read books. We care for people. We buy houses. We plant trees and we drive and we learn how to make milk frothy. Because something, somewhere in the middle of it all has to matter. And who are we to giggle and point and sneer at what others have found to care about? Everybody needs something to hold when it gets dark, so who am I, who are any of us, to point at anything and call it facile or redundant or stupid or rubbish? Even when it quite clearly is.
A new stand up show about finding something important in an ocean of twaddle.
