Yes, She’s At It Again
And this time, it’s not even me…
Thanks to the incredible and unstoppable Kate Low, I’m thrilled to see our show, How to Build a Gate, back in New Zealand, where it started its very first run in the Summer of 2024. But I hate to say, this time we won’t be touring. Instead, we’ve landed at the amazing Bats Theater, where the show will premiere its brand new, never-before-seen rendition of Liza’s and Hal’s story that’s definitely been finished by the writer (f**k).
Fresh off an Off-Broadway run in New York at Soho Playhouse, where it was featured as a finalist in the Lighthouse Festival, How to Build a Gate will be performed by the two incredible actors who’ve led the production from the very beginning. Kate Low, a New Zealand local, and Megan Pigott are seasoned New York actors who are as excited for their Fringe debut as we are.
If you’re lucky enough to be in town, grab your ticket before they sell out. And for anyone out of town, you can choose to support the travel expenses of our international production by donating to our Boosted campaign.

My Bestie is Ditching Girls’ Night to Play with Her Pussy
Ah, the cats of New York. A city too sophisticated for the feral—at least on the island. For anyone who cares to know, I got a goddaughter last night. She’s perfect. She’s healthy. She’s also a cat, so she’s already a bit of a cunt, and I wouldn’t change a hair on her pretty little head. My Talented Friend, in all her wisdom, went to the ASPCA and found herself a companion far more worthy than anything you’ll find on Hinge (Mamdani aside). Of all the things to acquire in this city, the best is hotly disputed. Some say a hedge fund. Others, a trust fund. Personally, my heart is split between a rent-stabilized apartment and a cat. Because once you have a house in New York—and a creature to make it a home—there’s not much else left to conquer.
