Well. Here goes nuthin’….

Here we go :).

And. If I’ve seen a star born. It’s in Emilia Tagliani. Watch out for her. You won’t be able to miss her. I only hope I get the complete pleasure of returning at some point. Not ready to put this baby to rest quite yet.

Endless thanks to Catie Davis, @CruiseNorwegian and ALL the creatives for having me in the cast. I never realised a sprint was allowed to last 1hr 45 before. My lungs have prolapsed. But it’s just been brilliant.

One month left of Beetlejuice aboard the NCL Viva. And it’s been as enriching, as fun, as brilliant, as fulfilling as ANYTHING I’ve been part of before. Possibly more. Friends from home. If the show and the part is right. Just do it. It’s really worth it.

I tell you what! Anyone who fades cruisework should see what I see onboard this ship. The TALENT of our Icons cast is just exquisite.

🤓.

Just broke my pinky toe. Definitely aware this is not news worthy. But I’ve never broken a bone before. So, to me, it’s momentous.

Also, completely get that sometimes they’re unavoidable. And I also don’t want to sound like a mardy weef, I just live in lewisham, with new babies left and right, and a guy over the road who hates gay people. So. It’s a one take wonder or nothing here. 😂.

Holy crap in a hand basket. Guys and Dolls at @_bridgetheatre is just exquisite. @ryanpidgen @OwainArthur and Kathryn Barnes all just bloody brilliant. And COLOSSAL admiration to Callum Bell who was on for the first time as Nicely. Just Top Tier.

In the softest, kindest, most understanding way possible. PLEASE can musical theatre self-tapes not become the standard. They’re not the same as screen self-tapes, and aren’t reflective of what we can do. Usually. For me. Personally.

Anyone else pedal backwards while you’re cruising downhill on a bike, just so if someone sees you and clocks it they’re like, ‘wait. WHAT?’ 🤯.

Anyway. Had a little sob, had a LOT of laughs, and my heart exploded with pride at @Bobbyben @_jacquelinehugh Chris Jenkins and Annie Wensak. And fuck alive Andy Karl is a machine. Classy through and through. @timminchin #oldvic #groundhogday.

It’s funny how things you’ve watched many times before, suddenly hit in a different way. The sense of forboding that what will happen tomorrow is something that you can control.

I feel very lucky to have watched Groundhog Day last night. A lot of beaut friends just. soaring. Look, horses for courses… but a stunning, clear, clever piece of storytelling that truly hit home, for me, about depression.

So. can you say threads on here without being kicked?.

Lord Bill Shakespeare said that old age is second childishness. What then, in fresh hell, are my late 30s?!. Childishness 1.5.

Pfpfpfpft pft. Pfffffft. Pfpfpfpfpft. Pft. Pft. Pft. 💨.

If anyone needs me I’ll be at the Tate, drawing abstract taches on the picassos. @thismorning . I hope producers screw up Musicals Week for @ITV . Get out.
