An award-winning podcaster is swapping the studio for the stage in his debut one-man show at the Greater Manchester Fringe.
Stand-up poet Daniel J. McLaughlin - a podcast producer for Reach, the UK's biggest publisher - will debut 'Rant in Iambic Pentameter' at the summer theatrical festival in July.
The show, which is part-poetry, part-comedy, part-philosophy, and fully profanity laced, pokes fun at parts of McLaughlin's life, including his diagnosis as a manic depressive.
"Well, it's cheaper than paying for private counselling, and probably quicker than the NHS waiting list. As the old saying goes: a genius is a madman with an audience. I just need an audience, otherwise I am your run-of-the-mill madman," the 28-year-old comedian said.
"But don't worry, it's not a bleak 60-minute show where I whine, "Woo is me." There is far too much of that self-pitying nonsense in the poetry scene. I am here to entertain, first and foremost.
"And even in the bleakest moments, mental illness can be bloody funny. My time spent on a mental health ward contained some of the most hilarious moments in my life - I'll write about it someday."
Salford-born McLaughlin, who was raised in Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire for the first 18 years of his life, combines his rants with rhymes, discussing God, Grindr, geese, gay life, and "the bloody government".
His sexuality plays a big part in 'Rant in Iambic Pentameter'. The self-titled "part-time poof" jokes about his bisexuality, experiences of homophobia and hate crime, and lack of success on the dating apps.
"I appeared on the One Show at the start of the year, discussing my attack on Canal Street by a drunken homophobe. It was an important bit of film, but at the same time, it was a bit too worthy for my liking.
"I don't want to be preachy. I don't have a megaphone, or a placard, or a soapbox - I have a microphone and far too many swear words."

With all those bathrooms --- you need a robust septic system ---- sewer cover in various places around camp --- these outside of the old dorm. Leech (Leach?) field still in the same spot -------- other additions to the improved septic system include a "grinder" (no nothing to do with GRINDR.....)
Pop Culture – Réflexions sur les industries du rêve et l'invention des identités

De Star Wars à Lady Gaga, du Seigneur des anneaux à Game of Thrones, tubes, blockbusters et best-sellers forment aujourd’hui les facettes d’une culture de masse omniprésente. Un philosophe analyse le phénomène : qu’est-ce que la « pop culture » ? Quels en sont les ressorts, mais aussi les implications existentielles ? Avant d’être un truc jeune et sexy, un graphisme quadrichromique simplifié à l’extrême ou un genre musical qui présente en quantité anormalement élevée des sons de synthétiseur, la pop est une stratégie, un calcul industriel alimenté par une seule obsession : savoir ce que veulent les masses.
La pop culture est un ogre qui ingère tout ce qu’il trouve. Mais cette logique de réappropriation l’ouvre paradoxalement aux déclassés, aux freaks et aux minorités en tout genre. Pour l’auteur, ce qui s’y joue est d’abord l’invention de nouvelles identités.
Il conduit sa réflexion à partir d’analyses fines de chansons, de films, de comics, de romans et de séries, multipliant les digressions érudites en réponse à des questions aussi essentielles que : jusqu’à quel point peut-on détester un ancien groupe indé devenu commercial ? Comment Harry Potter peut-il survivre à l’Avada Kedavra de Voldemort dans la Forêt interdite ? La catégorie de mythe fonctionne-t-elle pour la pop culture ? Par ailleurs, si Obi-Wan Kenobi est si malin, pourquoi laisse-t-il Luke Skywalker faire tout le boulot ?
Richard Mèmeteau est professeur de philosophie. Observateur de la vie pop culturelle, il a contribué aux Inrocks, à Audimat et à la Revue du Crieur. Il aime jouer le script doctor de fortune en échange d’un café allongé et citer RuPaul sur son profil Grindr.

This is how long it takes to get to our Melbourne hotel room from the street.
I took this video at 7:35 pm, while Shobhit was out getting drinks with a guy he found on Grindr, which left me with plenty of time to load the day's photos onto Shobhit's laptop.
