a humorously modified version of sony's notorious "say mcdonalds to end commercial" patent. in this fictional satirical version, the user is instructed to say "mcdonalds" to speak to grandpa. They do, and an image of captain tom appears on the television. The implication is that this is captain tom's mourning grandchild.

brings me swelling anticipation to announce that the final cut of my latest show Backchannel is coming to Birmingham Comedy Festival on the 4th October at Cherry Reds.

Backchannel is an ambitious multimedia show about communication that I find difficult to justify/explain

tix: seanmorl.com/bham
An image I made to promote this show. It contains the title (Backchannel), the creator (me (Sean Morley)) two quotes from legitimate seeming publications. Chortle's really just for comedy industry, so that's why it's balanced out by the guardian. The Birmingham Comedy Festival logo because that feels obligatory. And then the basic show details: Saturday 4th October, Cherry Reds, Birmingham. Maybe I don't need to mention the city if I've also got the Birmingham Comedy Festival logo - but why not just be safe. The image is black, with a blown out image of me doing the show in Berlin back in July. Of the batch I got back from this show, this image of me completely blown looking a bit crazed felt really appealing to me. I think my instincts for what's interesting is completely at odds with events marketing. I also wrote some stream of consciousness, set the opacity to 20% and put that in the background. I don't recommend trying to read it.

I'm bringing a WIP of new show Backchannel to Leeds at Hyde Park Book Club.

it's a lighthearted comedy show about, you know, society or whatever.

tix: www.seetickets.com/event/sean-m...
Sean Morley towers above Hyde Park Book Club. It's unclear whether the implication is if he's a giant or somehow embedded into the structure of the building. Next to him is the intentionally vague and false tagline "a show about what happens when you have a laugh and there are no problems" Then basic show info Sean Morley Backchannel Sunday 6th July, Hyde Park Book Club
