For the first time EVER I have a reading list that's not just 45,000 scraps of paper, or rushed notes in one of many books I carry around with me. Not only that; I'm actually purchasing the books on that list!
Alongside others.
I'm desperately trying to get into reading again, so if there are any recommendations, send em this way!
Unlike last time, I'll actually take note and pop them somewhere I'll refer back to.
9 shows attended
3 Box Office shifts volunteered
4 nights sleeping along the back seats of the car
Many lovely people met
Numerous catchups with friends
3 times shouting "fuck off!" in awe at the incredible views on the drive there...
@machcomedyfest what a dream to finally experience it all! 🤩😍
And finally, introducing the most wonderful Eliza Fraser!!
For those that came to the first ever "In Stitches" in February, you may well remember Eliza as the headline act! Well, she's back as our guest MC this month, yay!
Well loved and respected on the comedy circuit with both acts and audiences, Cornwall Comedian of the Year finalist (2025) and Bath New Act finalist (2026) Eliza, is blimmin' funny!
One of the South West's most exciting and original comedians, Eliza brings together inciteful observations and tight story telling.
She has been capturing audiences with her thoughtful and charged performances, delivering big laughs and big thinking.
Have I mentioned the huge regret you will feel if you don't get to see her on Thursday 7th May @theheathfield ?
Who's coming? Let me know in the comments!
Looking out at the rain in Welsh Wales seems the perfect time for some Comedy admin.
The back end of April was a wild ride, including MC tips, festival fun, and surprise wildcards offering my first official accreditation of sorts.
(Plus other creative braveries not comedy related)
MAY the momentum continue... After a drizzly weekend watching as much comedy as possible, seeing friends and getting inspired! 🤘🤩

Sometimes the best birthdays are spent watching your brother get spat at...
Happy Birth/Earth day @florajfraser and what a lot of fun it was letting the family meet the neighbours
It's going to be a fantastic weekend @rattler.fest next week.
Head to the Berry Jam Stage at 3.30-4.30 and let us give you cause to laugh into your cide-ha-ha-her!*
*sorry. The jokes will be better than that, I promise.
Book your babysitters, put away your maypoles and get ready for a night full of fun and laughter @theheathfield with "In Stitches" on Thursday 7th May!
All will be travelling under their own steam to perform for you for free! It is a free night, however there will be an optional bucket and a QR code on the night to pay what you want, with all proceeds being split equally between the acts. With rising costs, it would help these nights effectively remain free and attract quality acts to make you laugh!
A heart full of lovely (and adult) things this Bank Holiday Weekend...
🌱 Wonderful walks with my brother
🎉 Easter Sunday team lunch with exceptional sibling fun, coupled with obligatory games and sunshine
🎤 Super nice gig @squawkerscomedyclub well worth cutting short the Easter fam time for!
❤️ More walks, this time with best bud @clairerule89
🚗 She's finally got a grown up car, replete with 4 actual tyres and more than 3 doors!
🫑 Gorgeous sunny BBQ back with the camels
🤯 With a bonus SUCCESSFUL CLOTHES SHOP! WHAT!?
Even managed to book a GP appt to see whether going blue out the shower means my heart's broken again 🤘💪
What a lucky thing I am! ♥️♥️♥️
