The Rat Trap has closed!
"Weren't you proud and excited? The papers said the enthusiasm was absolutely boundless!!"
What a fantastic happiness-bringing company to be a part of. Thank you for the silliest funniest time. I'll follow you all anywhere. Let's please eat pizza in loud bars together forever.
Thanks to so many friends letting me crash in spare rooms and sofas! Thanks @troupetheatrecompany for such a happy start to the year.
I won't miss the brown dress... But I'll miss everything else!
2025!
Threw a Mabinogion themed party
Went on tour with Noises Off with gorgeous funny cast and crew.
Climbed Snowdon.
So much love for my friends & family this year, thank you to everyone who gave me your time and company. I LOVE a chat. Your chats have been a big highlight. Thank you all. Also BIG PROPS to therapy everybody. Therapy is GREAT. Highly recommend.
Got to play Hamlet while a dog stole beermats off the tables until he got in trouble.
Worked in the coolest restaurant with excellent people.
Got my driving licence! My instructor told me to pull off into a layby suddenly and went, "Give me your phone" and we walked into the woods. Naturally thought he was gonna kill me. "Stand over there." Middle of nowhere, giant wooden dragon sculpture. Instructor took my pic with it and then we went back to the car and he NEVER SPOKE ABOUT IT AGAIN.
And couldn't think of better way to start the New Year than with The Rat Trap at the Park. Very excited to be outrageous in a Noel Coward with these beautiful people.
4 months with fantastic funny people. What a privilege and a happiness to know you all.
Bye Noises Off! Highlights include: door handles breaking and needing to be screwed back in mid-show, contact lenses actually falling out, quadruple takes, "Are you coming to bed or aren't we?" A million missed cues. That wave of laughter coming right after "LISTEN!" I've never been in a show before that involved so much actual human blood smeared on the set!
Bye Brooke! It was a dream come true to play this part. I've loved every minute.
Noises Off is on! And we're off on tour. Ipswich, Hornchurch, Luxembourg and Theatre by the Lake Keswick. Teenage me is over the moon. Couldn't be happier to fall over things and run through doors with these lovely people.
95 shows.

Panto with a group of brilliantly funny, warm and talented people. Choreography and harmonies at the same time? Impossible. Two shows every day six days a week? Madness.
But everybody @chippytheatre makes it an absolute joy. Come see us messing about as Vikings and giants and then boo me very loudly please.
I am BEREFT. What a perfect group of people to put on As You Like It in the summer. aka Can You Believe It? Thank you @creationtheatre and all you amazing people. I love you all terribly. It was wonderful, most wonderful and yet again wonderful.
Last few months. Thank you North Wales and my bar job. Thank you friends. Long live Ian. Thank you Stewart. Thanks outrageous New Year's Eve, you were so appreciated. Diolch yn fawr iawn bob ci
Top Girls at the Liverpool Everyman. Met a bunch of brilliant people, hung out with my Dad's side of the family, wore very orange eye-shadow and even met Caryl Churchill. Two months of happiness.
