So as the Olympics torch wends its way towards the opening ceremony, I thought I'd revisit our 2012 tradition of bringing you a little alternative take on its journey, courtesy of Richard Dedomenici.
This weekend, for us, it's all about Haphazard at Z-arts tomorrow, Sat 27 Jul (1-4pm). Among other things, we have dancing wizards and bewigged enchiladas, zimmer acrobatics, a wookie and a singing prawn. The full programme is online and Chanje Kunda, Chicken Shop Hermits, Chris Sav, Failed Artists Society, Jana Aizupe & Company, perfectly serviceable, Porcelain Delaney, Sohail Khan, Thomas Daniel Byrne & Aimee Williamson.
Elsewhere Refract Festival is on in Sale (until 28 July); Switch_Mcr's OUT LOUD is at The Edge, until 27 Jul; and Slavs + Tatars' Transliterative Tease is at ESEA Contemporary on Sat 27 Jul.
On the GM Fringe, Kyra Scott's It Is What It Is is at The Kings Arms on Fri 26 + Sat 27 Jul; and Boyography is at Social Refuge on Sat 27 Jul.
Beyond Mancunia, Look After Your Knees is at Leeds Playhouse on Fri 26 Jul.
Next week (w/c 29 Jul) Shakespeare North in Prescot has A Caravan Named Desire 30 Jul- 1 Aug and, further ahead, Ridiculusmus's Alas! Poor Yorick 22-24 Aug.
Online, check out Melanie Wilson's Dreaming Species listening experience for headphones.
A reminder that my attempt to sieve through the listings for what I think might be worth a look is at the blog version of this mail. Aside from the International Festival, your safest bet is probably the Here & Now Showcase.
Edinburgh apart, that brings us to the big summer recess and this Weekly Warning is going to take a break until things pick up in September - though I'll be back if anything unmissable crops up.
Keep checking our News + Information page for more pointers to opportunities and show videos online, and @WarnMcr on Twitter (X if you must) for short-notice performances.
And for the artists out there, you've got til 2 August for the open call for proposals for Emergency (28 Sep).
Hope to see lots of you tomorrow at Haphazard.
