I was inspired to write this after Rishi's announcement. I thought you might like it. It's kinda funny, but mostly it's passive aggressive rage.
Is anyone else getting immense satisfaction from not resubscribing to all the newsletters you probably never subscribed to in the first place? Every time I get an email I’m like “mwahahahaha”

Last year, a producer told me I was too old as a woman to be a writer/performer. Yesterday, I was told by an established writer that I'm too working class.
Anyway, I've decided to write and perform my 1st solo show

Did a lovely gig for the BBC New Comedy Awards last night and then got booked for a little spot at a venue you might have heard of... THE COMEDY STORE. Highlight of my year!!! (Apart from my wedding of course)
A first place for Best Show with
@latestagecomedy
promoter awards for my show at
@LeicsComedyFest
. And some really lovely words. This time last year I didn't think I could do a solo show, I doubted myself so much, so I'm enjoying this little dopamine hit...
I'm so excited to be starting my MA in comedy writing this week with
@FalmouthUni
.
Coming from an uneducated and working class background this feels huge, and I can't wait to start taking my writing more seriously. Also, my essential reading is pretty legendary!

Also, my show is called 'I Fed my DAD to a Pelican' not 'I Fed My DAY to a Pelican' as listed 😂
I know, neither title make any sense haha, but in case you look it up, it's my dad that I fed to a Pelican, which you can watch on Weds in London here

I’ve arrived at my air bnb, where I stay with the host, and there is a lone tin of chopped tomatoes in the corner of my room......I’m going to die here aren’t I?
A Chistmas Story: Christmas day 2010, I found out my dad isn't my dad and that my real dad is probably someone else. I found the real one 7 years later and fed him to a Pelican.
And I've written a show about it.

I think for working class actors like me, zoom castings have been really helpful. Taking time off work and paying for travel at short notice is really difficult and pushes those that aren't as financially stable out the industry. A recall in person for sure though x

last night at the vaults festival. It was incredible. So well written and performed, enjoyed every second. If you can get tickets to see it I highly recommend it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
@helenraw
These tweets do my head in ‘I’d set myself on fire for a casting’ 🙄
So often I get a casting come through with less than 24 hrs notice & then get a hard time if I can’t make myself available. I’ve cancelled holidays due to being ‘pencilled’ Sometimes real life shit happens!
I'm taking my debut comedy show 'I Fed My Dad to a Pelican' to

It tells the intricate true story of finding my biological father and then feeding him to a Pelican.
If you're in Brighton, would love to see you there.

My Whatssap consists of multiple groups all called ‘Drinks?’ where we try and find a day we can all meet up but hope that one person can’t make it so that we have to keep putting it off and never have to make the commitment to meet. Modern day socialising.

But what I think I'll do now is buy your book on kindle, make a coffee and try and distract my brain. Thank you for raising awareness about this horrible illness ❤️
Finally went to see Agatha Christie’s ‘The Mousetrap’
@MousetrapLondon
Been almost 10 years of saying “we should see that”
Loved it, great performances and really fun to watch. I worked out who the killer was before it was revealed so I win!
