No Photos is a spoken word show that explores social anxiety, self-image, and visibility through the lens of a man who never wants to be in the picture.

Rooted in humour, rhyme, and storytelling, the show explores the inner life of a young man who avoids the camera at all costs. What starts as social anxiety slowly opens out into an exploration of memory, identity, masculinity, and what we inherit, emotionally and digitally, from the generations before us.
Moving between jokes, silence, and confession, the show uses wit as armour, masking fears shaped by childhood expectations, online visibility, and the pressure to be seen but not known. As the performance deepens, images and media shift from threat to tool, offering unexpected routes toward self-recognition and repair.

Fluid in form and responsive to audience and context, No Photos treats poetry as live performance; a space for laughter, reflection, and reckoning. It invites audiences to question not just how we present ourselves to the lens, but what it really means to be witnessed.

    There’s a real absurd yet ritualistic energy to what Edward Tripp does. The props, the screaming, the surreal imagery, humour that disorients then lands somewhere deeper. I’m not entirely convinced he can (or should) stop.
