Guest Blog: Day Last

And so I come to the end of my guest blogging fortnight. It’s been very cool and I’ve enjoyed it a lot. Maybe if I’m good I’ll be able to come back and pester you all again. Sorry I haven’t blogged as much this week, it’s been kinda busy and there’s always a [...]

Guest Blog: Day four, we go to Improv War

I’m afraid today’s blog entry might not reach the Homeric proportions of rambling tangentiary yesterday achieved. Sorry about that. The reason for my (possible) brevity is the sheer imminence of the show!

Yep, that’s the plug again – The Day After Improv – Friday (tonight) 27th August at the Art Organisation on [...]

Guest blog: 19.28

Nottingham is wet, but that’s not why I’m leaving. I was just reading the brief for the guest blogging spot for creativenottingham.com, which explicitly advises you to keep it Nottingham-focussed, before jumping on a train out of creative Nottingham, which is possibly not the best start.
