I want to tell you about an experience that really shook me last weekend. It’s got nothing to do with Corona Conspiracies, or government fuck ups... Like all good stories, it starts in the Hollywood Hills. Sort of. It starts in my living room actually, but I was watching a film at the time... a … Continue reading Maybe it’s Because I’m a Londoner
I want to talk to you about Laurence Fox. “Why?!” I hear you cry, “don’t we already hear enough about that utter tosspot?” And the answer to that is “yes, yes we do”, but this political party nonsense has made me furious. And I will tell you why. If you don’t want to know, feel … Continue reading That Pillock off Lewis
Let me take you out for a night at the theatre. It’s any show you want it to be: it’s a bright shiny musical complete with jazz hands; a one man show about personal anguish; it’s a larger than life comedy of manners with the most elaborate sets and costumes; a piece of naturalistic drama … Continue reading A Night at The Theatre

People often have issues with film, TV and theatre in which the cast is all female. I say "people" because I mean people. I have heard this sentiment expressed by both men and women. Men and women I respect and care about. It is not an opinion I have heard expressed about all male productions. … Continue reading Man! I Feel Like a Woman.
Hello! It's me again. Giving my tuppence before anyone has asked for it. What can you do? I'm just a pain in the arse like that. You're welcome. I've actually started a couple of blog posts over the last few weeks, which I haven't got round to finishing because I was distracted by work, or … Continue reading Riding the Trough of the Wave
Hello! First things first... after all my recent posts, you'll be glad to hear that this one isn't about my broken head. It's about my broken friendships. JUST KIDDING! It's about friendship. Friendship and acting. A few months ago, I was talking to a woman who I love very dearly, and whose opinion I value … Continue reading I Got You, Babe
This is a post I want to write, but having promised myself I will do my best not to get too angry in this blog, I've decided to keep the words to a minimum, and let the figures do the talking. As Lord Kelvin said, “When you can measure what you are speaking about, and … Continue reading If the numbers don’t add up;
First things first - it is a lovely thing when people show an interest in what you do. Seriously, it is, but sometimes, when two worlds collide, and People-Who-Binge-Watch-Netflix-And-Admit-It’s-Just-For-Pleasure come into contact with People-Who-Binge-Watch-Netflix-And-Tell-Themselves-It’s-Just-For-Research, many a conversation is had, which both parties end up walking away from unsatisfied. In this the post, I provide a … Continue reading “You’re an Actor? Don’t you mean Actress?”
I am very open about my mental health issues. Too open, some might say. Ok, fine… I literally never shut the hell up about them. The reason for my being that way, is that I think it’s important for other people suffering from mental health problems to actually see that they’re not alone, rather than … Continue reading My Stupid, Idiotic, Broken Head
