A new Allusionist live show has arrived! The first performance was yesterday, and I haven’t booked in other gigs yet*, so it might be the only performance, TBD.

Good news though: the show is still available thanks to the Kings Place player for a month! So you can watch it HERE until 4 October 2021.

And you should, because the show is packed full of entertainment, music and EPONYMS. We’ve got the Bechdel Test, uzis, the Thatcher Effect, pilates, Shirley Temples, saxophones AND saxtubas. Venn diagrams, the Myers-Briggs test, Morse Code, Veuve Cliquot and Uranus.

Friend-of-the-show MiMi Aye livetweeted the experience:

This woman with a face of an angel just told us that petri dishes used to be known as 'moist chambers' 🤢@AllusionistShow #AllusionistLive #LondonPodFest pic.twitter.com/3xBkFXwLRk

"... #NotAllMen applies to eponyms too ..." 🤣

A catchy and instructive tune from @AllusionistShow

*If you work at a theatre/arts centre/library/other venue in the UK and you think the show would be good there, do get in touch!
