I’m very proud of my show at @edfringe. It’s the most personal one I’ve ever performed. Although it partially deals with #depression and #dementia it’s really funny too (according to audience reviews 😊). If you’re at the festival, I’d love you to see it. edfringe.com/tickets/whats-o…

So now we know why in space, no one can hear you scream... 🙈
The ISS has a continuous background noise level of ~70 dB, generated by life support systems, fans, pumps, and scientific equipment that run 24/7 To protect their hearing and prevent fatigue, astronauts often wear noise-canceling headphones or custom-molded earplugs
