My Grandpa Doesn't Follow Me On Instagram is an autobiographical one-woman show written and performed by Yoz Mensch. The show follows a road trip from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands — one grandparent, one grandchild, one unspoken truth. Drawn from hundreds of Instagram stories posted during the trip, Yoz revisits what they shared with their grandpa and the secrets they didn't, unravelling what it means to hide yourself from people you love. A vivid pilgrimage through familial grief to queer joy, the show won Best Comedy at the Prague Fringe 2024 and the Adelaide Fringe Tour Ready Award.
