1000 Tiny Birds: 2025 edition

Amy Annette - Busy Body

Pleasance Courtyard, 2025-08-16

Within 5 minutes of Busy Body, Amy has correctly identified my social label shift over time from “nerd” to “sex god”, and as Alasdair is not there to contradict, the audience is forced to believe. It’s a relatively freewheeling show, which suits Amy’s style to a tee. It’s not quite a “getting old” show - at pains as she is to point out how irritating that is when someone young complains about it - but it’s certainly a show about settling into who you are and recognising how that happened. Lots of fun routines, a more serious bit about the rise of transphobia in the UK, and some operatic chops thrown in for good measure.
