Hey, After about 5 years of not performing (due to COVID and my wife's health) I'm returning to the stage, largely due to the insistence of a young friend... I find I still like the attention and am coming back to believing I have a refreshing take on creative human behavior. At age 71, I find myself mostly surrounded by folks my kids age, lots of "emerging artists"... - Re-emerging and quite comfortable in my weirdness.
Hi Erica, well, I play my body and voice.... my crusty old website is humanjazz.com and there's more recent musings on IG at christian.swenson . - enjoy!

OMG, congratulations, Christian!!!
This is so exciting to hear. What kind of performance art do you do? (I'm sorry if I've asked this already).
Being comfortable in your own weirdness sounds like the most empowering feeling I can imagine.
Vulnerability and bravery-- just putting all the weirdness out there without apology.
It makes me legitimately really happy to hear you're doing this!
that comedy show looks amazing!!!
wanna come do a substack live w me sometime??
Hopefully the show will be amazing!
Haha, fingies crossed.
Yeah I'd totally do a live with you!
you give new pleasurable meaning to the phrase "its a dog eat dog world" 👌😜
great see your re-integration into civil society (i worry about it tho 🤔🤫...the society that is 🤣)
I'd say Lisa Hanawalt is the one giving new horny meaning to dog eat dog!
Credit where credit is due!
She's one of my favorite cartoonists. I love how weird her art is.
I also worry about the society I'm joining.
Fortunately I seek out the weirdo artists quite well and glom onto them like velcro. :D
there is no accounting for some of our dubious attractions 🙃
hey we've all had crushes on cartoon characters, right?
we're all kind of freaks.
which makes none of us freaks.
but i prefer to think we're all freaks.

Wow, that looks SO fun, Christian!
I'm so glad you're getting out and doing your art again
