Alabanza retweeted these reviews:

BURGERZ by @travisalabanza was an absolutely phenomenal piece of work. So intricately written with such an important message, perfectly woven into a performance that felt both fierce and tender - all whilst deeply rooted in authenticity. Oh and the direction? Sublime 👌🏾

I saw the matinee of #Burgerz by @travisalabanza yesterday and it feels so special to have been there. Part emotional release, part humorous romp, part ritual - retelling and reclaiming of trauma - it was flawlessly managed and controlled. Hats off! Such strength and beauty 💜

Alabanza didn't retweet this one:

Which is a shame as it appears to be very accurate (and entertaining) Enjoy Grin

I'd quite like if people would throw me free chocolate...

IdaBWells · 17/11/2018 07:29

Didactylos sadly he did not throw one at me.

SophoclesTheFox · 17/11/2018 07:05

Can't believe how unsupportive Aidey is being to Travis Sad

He ought to be moving heaven and earth to get there. Sad times.

Didactylos · 17/11/2018 06:50

can you deconstruct a Milky bar Ida?
Im sure they changed the recipe in the 1990s too
so sadly your trauma may never be processed

IdaBWells · 17/11/2018 06:47

When I was 13 in about 1982 I was walking down the street with round, gold-rimmed glasses and a blonde bob.

From across the street a bloke yelled out "The Milky Bars are on me!"

You know how we all get to decide what's offensive language now? I get very offended by this:

Evening folks.

Folk is already plural. It means people. You wouldn't say 'evening peoples' would you?

Does this qualify as literal violence by MNHQ? I'm not sure anymore. Are pedants oppressed?

KatVonGulag · 16/11/2018 23:14

I know right. Yellow polo shirts are never a good look

PutYourShirtOnMartin · 16/11/2018 22:10

No mention of Burgerz at the Walker Art Gallery Liverpool ...

I had to walk out of this room....it just made me very very cross

Man, I've seen some bad student theatre in my time but 'Burgerz' sounds like it would be a lethal risk to my health. I might have an aneurysm from repressing the gales of laughter.

Does anyone take this stuff seriously? It says Travis has had a Tate residency so clearly someone is taking them seriously.

It's all so ludicrous. I miss the days when flamboyant campy men e.g. Boy George reveled in their own campiness, owned it and were proud of it, rather than moaning on because someone laughed at them or threw a burger at them.

That Leigh Bowery chap is fantastic! I'd never heard of him before. That is real performance art with a positive message and genuine flair.

BettyDuMonde · 08/11/2018 02:00

I like it.

For some reason it’s reminding me of the time someone painted ‘Cock, Piss, Partridge’ on Alan Partridge’s Rover 800.

Yes, let's go with Chipz Grin

Ereshkigal · 07/11/2018 23:30

Perhaps it should be Chipz though?

PutYourShirtOnMartin · 07/11/2018 23:20

Piss, Pop, Taylor Swift, Fishnets, Egg and Chips

Snappy title - will be a box office smash

Ereshkigal · 07/11/2018 22:34

Piss, Pop, Taylor Swift, Fishnets, Egg and Chips

ContessaGoesMarchingDOWNTOHELL · 07/11/2018 22:15

Ooh! I've just remembered that I had an egg thrown at me once! Can I join in?

It traumatised me sufficiently to turn me vegan Sad

OlennasWimple · 07/11/2018 18:28

Hey, can I join the MN performance art special event? I once had chips thrown at the back of my head because I carried on walking past some guys who had shouted out such witty homilies and sweet nothings as "your tits look great in that top" and "come and sit on my lap for a swivel" Confused

We have pretty much a full Happy Meal menu now, I think, especially if Mx Alabanza participates

Danaquestionseverything · 07/11/2018 12:56

I probably would have peed my pants in my attempts to stop from roaring with laughter.

Thanks for a hilarious recap I can read in private, laugh as hard as I like, with no need for depends.

Ereshkigal · 07/11/2018 08:09

It would have to be a hotdog. Travis's burger was in a bun with sauce etc.

Turph · 07/11/2018 00:54

Surely the newsbeat article is advertising? It gives a brief review and dates, like a paid for article would...naughty Beeb

AncientLights · 06/11/2018 23:40

I wonder which makes the better missile - a burger or a sausage? I think, purely in the interests of science, I may need to do an experiment or two tomorrow.
