Picture This

Jenny Tian

Picture This is a solo comedy show by Jenny Tian in the 2021 Sydney Comedy Festival.

The first ever picture was drawn by a homo sapien 73,000 years ago. And it was a picture of a hashtag. And the picture thing caught on quickly because they soon worked out that a picture was worth about 1,200 grunts – or a thousand words in the metric system. Ever since that first hashtag, as a species, we’ve evolved at an alarming rate across those 73,000 years to get all the way to instagram. #progress.

But it just goes to show how enduring pictures are in communication. And they’re great for jokes.

Then add the right words to accompany the pictures – and BAM! You’ve made words great again. It’s probably why memes are so popular.

Look at how much of the average person’s work day is spent receiving, laughing at, and forwarding memes.

And Jenny’s show is like 50 minutes of fun, with some hilarious live memes. All without the boss checking over your shoulder. And without the flagrant copyright infringements. In fact, any federal police attending the gig are strictly there for the LOLs.
