Aly Loren wants to share her life, her stories and her
blankets with you. She’s honest and open and young. She’s also non-binary, queer
and polyamorous. And the kind of person you want to sit cross-legged on a
cushion on the floor for.
The band was jamming as the small audience made their way
into the space. Aly is playing guitar, rocking out with her friends on drums
and keyboard. Aly is a great singer and she charms everyone with the welcoming
anthem “Share My Blankets” which is an adorable, comforting song that she wrote
when she was eighteen.
This show is like hanging out with a mate who has a lot of
fun stories and a couple of harder truths to tell, too. But mostly, Aly’s story
is a hell of a good time. How can you not enjoy a show that includes Polly the
polyamorous bird and a game of pass the parcel?
Share My Blankets
is a colourful show about not fitting in and not giving a fuck. In some ways it
feels transgressive, but then you realise it shouldn’t feel that way at all.
Aly makes us feel comfortable and invites us to feel passion and to feel anger
but, mostly, just to feel alive.
This show is pure joy.
