…a hopeful tale of heroin, hooking and happiness
Tuesday night’s performance at the Irish American Writers and Artists. This one’s for you, Malachy. You’re here… You’re in my DNA…
Me and Malachy in January 2024… Last words to me at QED as I got on stage, “Go on Mary…” I will Malachy.
Here’s the review from Jeff Spevak for opening night September 18. Jeff was spotted again September 22, at the final sold-out show. I guess he really liked it.
My rescue morkie, Joey, made this Fringe joyful. And Joey, as “the medium,” was brilliant as the “hound from hell” in the hilariously funny “The Vole Sisters Invite You To a Peculiar & Intimate Evening of Mystic Spiritualism.”

…and I’m going back with plenty to say. Stay tuned!
It is soothing to get ready for the road…to pack, throw out old stuff…down time alone. Create programs…Not stressing… I am excited about my new friends and experiences. making this world better…playing it forward.
Friday, June 2, at the Maine State Penitentiary, and then Joey and I driving to Cincy Fringe. Gas money accepted.
Timothy Thompson toBook at Bedtime | with Timothy ThompsonYesterday at 8:57 PMTonight’s reading is dedicated to the inspiring and authentic Mary Goggin. Mary is an actor and writer whose recent autobiographical show, Runaway Princess, has been seen and shown enthusiastically (and to much acclaim!!) around the world. In this show, Mary “shares stories of sex, drugs, and Irish Catholicism, laced with characters based on her experiences as a former professional call girl.” What struck me about seeing this show live (and working with her on an earlier iteration of it), was how Mary treated its heavy subject matter with equal parts humor, honesty, and optimism. Mary is uncompromisingly real, raw, always very funny and has this outstanding capacity of transporting her audience on this journey with her throughout the show (in a way that avoids tropes and is not in any way like an after-school special), and, in the end, we are all better for having gone on this journey with her. The experience of watching Mary in this show has, without a doubt, positively informed me as an artist and person. Thank you for your inspiration and authenticity as an artist-citizen, Mary. God bless you and stay safe at this time.
Bless YOU ALL , Especially you Timothy
