They drove from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands - one grandparent, one grandchild, one unspoken truth.

Multi-award winning storyteller, Yoz Mensch, weaves a darkly funny and haunting solo show about dingy hotel rooms, dog-eared maps, and the strained intimacy of travel.

Drawn from hundreds of real Instagram Stories posted during the trip, Yoz revisits what they shared with their grandpa - and the secrets they didn’t.

Blending clowning, found footage, and intimate confession, My Grandpa Doesn’t Follow Me On Instagram unravels what it means to hide yourself from the people you love.

My Grandpa Doesn’t Follow Me On Instagram is being developed as part of our Centre Stage Residency, in collaboration with Adelaide Fringe, and will be presented as part of our 2026 Adelaide Fringe program.

The showing will be followed by a short Q&A with Yoz Mensch, hosted by The Mill General Manager Tim Watts. Audiences will have the opportunity to ask questions about the development and provide feedback about the performance.

About the artists:

Yoz Mensch (they/she) is a multi-award-winning clown, comedian, writer, and performer living and working on Kaurna Yerta. Their primary arts focus is storytelling that engages through humour and offers thoughtful catharsis, her secondary focus is pretending to walk into things to make you giggle.
In 2025 Yoz ate the scenery in Street Legal’s ‘No Gods! No Masters! No Doorlists! No Bouncers!’ music video, and ate tourists as The Koala King in John DeCaux’s feature film Dropbear. She trained at L’Ecole Philippe Gaulier in 2024, and toured her solo work, No Babies In The Sauna to Perth, Adelaide, Prague, and Edinburgh Fringes, winning the Brian’s Life Best Comedy Award at Prague Fringe, the House of Oz Purse Prize at Adelaide Fringe and a nomination for Neurodiverse Review’s Actually Autistic Award at Edinburgh Fringe. They retired NBITS at Adelaide Fringe 2025, after sell out performances around the globe and multiple 5 star reviews.
Yoz plays a time-traveller in Tim Carlier’s 2023 feature film, PACO. She co-starred in Mary Angley’s YOU’RE ALL INVITED TO MY SON SAMUEL'S FOURTH BIRTHDAY PARTY, receiving the Melbourne Fringe Tour Ready Award at Adelaide Fringe 2022, and picking up the Spirit of The Fringe Award at Melbourne Fringe 2022. In 2021, they co-wrote, directed and performed in the ambitious sketch-ensemble-sci-fi The End is High-Concept - which garnered positive reviews, sell out performances, and pioneered live motion-capture for animated on-stage characters. In 2020 Yoz’s first solo work, ABOMINATION, received a 5 Star Review from Mindshare for its portrayal of grief and the effects on mental health.
Mary Angley (she/they) is a muti-award-winning theatre-maker and graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts' Master of Directing program. Her practice spans writing, directing, dramaturgy, and performance, with sporadic forays into design.
As part of her Masters Showcase, Mary developed Hedda GablerGablerGabler, a work that explores how live game-play can disrupt gender biases in the theatrical canon. Working on Kaurna Yerta, she directed, dramaturged, and designed The Triumph of Man (RUMPUS) and Autoeulogy (The Mill). She has performed her critically acclaimed solo show Grief Lightning: A Satire in 78 Slides at the Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth, and Edinburgh Fringes, as well as with Festival of Voices, Midsumma, Riverland Youth Theatre, and RUMPUS. Her science-fiction climate change duet YOU’RE ALL INVITED TO MY SON SAMUEL’S FOURTH BIRTHDAY PARTY premiered in Adelaide before packing up and hitting the road. Both productions have toured extensively thanks to support from a chain of 6 separate festival awards.
Recently, she has collaborated with Poppy Mee on PSYCHOPOMP and Yoz Mensch on their multi-award-winning show, No Babies in the Sauna. She has furthered her training in physical theatre/devising by attending post-graduate masterclasses in Berlin through the support of a Carclew Fellowship.
Mary is committed to process-driven work that deepens artistic skills and fosters social connection. Her practice has been informed by internships with Melbourne Theatre Company and with live art collective, Field Theory. Her work has been supported by The Helpmann Academy, Carclew, Arts SA, Adelaide City Council, Science Gallery, Gasworks, La Mama, Vitalstatistix, RUMPUS, The Mill, and Fringes Adelaide, Melbourne, and Edinburgh.
Dan Thorpe is a concert pianist//noise-maker//performance-maker based on unceded Kaurna Country. His style of playing has been described as both “fragile and delicate” [The Conversation] and “overwhelmingly intense” [Realtime]; as “decimating the boundaries of genre” [CutCommon], and having “no respect for the culture of pianism” [Unnamed Australian Concert Pianist]. He has performed in some pretty cool places, with highlights including Spectrum (NY), Praça Das Artes (Brazil), The Center for New Music (SF), the Red Rattler (NSW), Oakland Freedom Jazz (Ca), a raft on Elizabeth Quay (WA), and the lobby of Portuguese luxury hotel Estalagem da Ponta do Sol (where he bled all over their piano, which they were weirdly fine with). He made his concerto debut in 2021, premiering a new piece for piano and orchestra by Cat Hope - Lampi - with Forest Collective in Naarm.
His current practice focuses predominantly on performance making. Highlights include multiple sound-designs and devising credits with Papermouth (with Mary Angley); composing and sound designing for War of The Worlds (Adelaide Festival, 2025), composing and sound designing eDuard Helmbold’s Elegy for the Pale Lion; composing, devising, and performing XXX Neon Sign - a solo, full-length theatrical piece commissioned by BIFEM in 2019; and writing and performing his concerto for acting pianist and large ensemble - You Are Jeff, after the poem by Richard Siken - with Forest Collective in Naarm in 2021.
Dan has also composed pieces for - amongst others - Decibel, the MSO, WASO, ASQ, Kupka’s Piano, and Conrad Tao.
