First off, thanks to our commenter David, who yesterday rightly reminded me that I missed the Nottingham Comedy Festival in my festival round-up! I hang my head in shame… It starts TODAY, Friday 24th September, and runs right through to Monday 4th October. There are plenty of venues, and plenty of quality acts to see… Read More

So summer’s over.   This Thursday (16 September) you can hear about How to be happy – strategies for making a good living.  More details and how to book are available on the Creative Greenhouse website. Another cheering gathering (for those who meet the obvious entry criteria) is the recently returned Geek Girls Dinner. Book your place now for… Read More

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 temporal vortex… Read More

Ahoy there! It’s pirate and story writing week for me and so far progress is slow… that’s rather disappointing. Unfortunately it’s proving to be a busy week at work and the evenings are rather full, predictably, with MissImp related improv action. Captain Pigheart A tiny recap. I write short pirate stories under the unlikely pseudonym… Read More

Hello again, how lovely to see you. Last week was all about MissImp and improvised comedy, I’m sure I badger you further in that regard at some point this week, but I also wanted to assure you that my life/improv/work balance is indeed as badly weighted as you might have suspected, indeed it’s somewhat worse.… Read More

Okay, so a day turned into two, but The Day After Improv confused me a bit about the days of the week. That was on Friday, when I filled you in on our show preparation and right up to just before the show started. The Day After Improv (two days ago) I’m happy to say… Read More

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 Station Street –… Read More

Right then, yesterday I realised that I’d leaped into the whole ‘yo, we’re MissImp and we’re dope’ (I believe this is how the kids express themselves now), without explaining what improvised comedy is. That would be due to a lack of planning – that idea will prove to be relevant later on and when I… Read More

So – it’s me again. I should perhaps start by explaining the title of my last blog post made sense when I wrote it on Monday evening: it sounded a bit odd when it was published this (Tuesday) afternoon. I didn’t want you to think I was a vampire or anything – see, I drink… Read More
