I thought to myself I’d write an intimate show – well, ‘intimate’… I do stay fully clothed, mind you, but something personal, you know.

It’s like, I’m trying to get to know myself, to learn about myself and the world, and then when I realise just how vast the universe is, I think to myself, ‘Hang on, why are we bothering trying to figure it all out?’

It’s like dreams at night – it’s as if our brains are making short films, all on their own, just like that? Does our brain think it’s Spielberg or something?

On top of that, I was born 10,000 km away from France, so am I supposed to find love amidst all this absurdity? That I have to put up with other people’s judgement? That I… Blimey, I’m rubbish at rule of three.
But anyway, we’re moving through a world that changes every 8 minutes and 42 seconds, and all with zero certainties. If that isn’t funny!

So, the only way I’ve found to navigate all the twists and turns of my life is simply to have a laugh. So come on, let’s do it together. It’ll give us a good workout.

PS: ChatGPT just helped me find the word ‘meander’. That bastard’s brilliant.
