"“Wow, this show-description really makes me want to w atch this show.” This is what you just read. “This is what you just read”. This is what you just read. And now you are thinking “Wait, what?”.

Can I read your thoughts? No. But I can write them. I wish I could contin ue writing your thoughts, but they only gave me 150 words for this show-de scription. Now that I think about it, I could have used these first 78 wor ds better. 81 now.

The show is called Heavy Meta. Meta as in meta-hu mour, meta-comedy, meta-theatre. Not Meta as in Mark Zuckerberg. I don’t w ant you thinking about Mark Zuckerberg when thinking of this show. Stop do ing that!

Heavy Meta a show about a comedian who loves self-referent ial humour: humour that refers back to itself, like this sentence. And he feels guilty for not having a higher message. Which he might find, with yo ur help."
