My latest video is about how art, sometimes, needs to not ask permission…
Some of you might not know that I co-host a podcast with the American writer Bill Barol. It's a meticulously written and produced series of letters across the Atlantic on various aspects of the hard work of creativity. I'm really proud of it, and I think if you're an artist, maker, or any kind of creative, it's a great listen.
Season one is already out, and after more than a year of writing, season two is coming on the 26th of April
I'd love it if you'd subscribe, and give it a share, click those five stars, and all that good stuff. Thanks!
Well, this is stupid…
Hope your New Years was fun - mine was three shows in two venues in one night - so OF COURSE I took my camera with me! ENJOY!
5 minutes of tricks I don’t often do, in places that I love. ENJOY!
I’ve been getting back into photography lately, here’s why…

Here's my first dispatch from the crazyness - hope you like it
You know what? Sometimes - not often, but sometimes - this whole stupid showbusiness thing is exactly as good as you want it to be…
Ohhhhh this was funnnnn...
I got invited to go to Los Angeles to perform at Max Fun Con - Jesse Thorn's amazing gathering of artists, makers and cool lovely people. I said yes please, because I'm not an idiot. This proved to be the right decision.
Also, I got to meet my podcasts partner Bill for the first time ever!
IT’S COMPLICATED!
Oh, and if you want to come see me at the fringe - click here to book nowwww!
Goals are really not how I stay productive - I just don’t have them - so in this video let’s talk about why that is, and why it might be a good thing for you to try too…
Let's go to the gig and back! This time around I'm off to Grantham for vintage shenanigans with some old friends, and then to Coventry, where I host a family variety show with Big Howard, Little Howard and Ada Campe.
These are the videos where I take you with me as I do my stupid job, and give you a look behind the scenes at the life of a hard working, well dressed, sarcastic variety act!
I'm not really a "danger act" - but in the last three decades and change I have done some very risky things in the name of entertainment - some of them on purpose, some less so...
So I thought it might be fun to take a look back at the most dangerous things I've ever done - including that one trick that I'll NEVER do again.
As someone who lives with depression and anxiety, I thought I'd share a simple thing that anyone can do, that's helped me enormously over the years. And all you need is paper and a pen.
