Coming this Thursday!
Love from me and my big old bonce 💛

Beautiful night seeing our Kathy do what she does best in News Revue! What a bloody star ✨

So lush to be a part of telling this story about the drowning of Capel Celyn. Especially when location is in the middle of the sunny, Welsh countryside.
📍The Bush
When I was leaving the house, Sam said, “hey Steve Jobs. When’s the new iPhone coming out?” And you know what, I deserved it
Make vegan mini eggs, you cowards❕
Just finished series 1 of Severance and MY GOD, that last episode was absolutely incredible
Would LOVE to 😚
The lemon drizzle Welsh cakes were silly good!
📍Barry Island, Welsh Cakes from Heavenly Vegan Coffi and a stomp as the moon and Venus watched over us
📍Penarth, blowing out the cobwebs
As my beloved Mr Sondheim wrote:
“I’ve run the gamut.
A to Z.
Three cheers and dammit,
C’est la vie.
I got through all of last year
And I’m here.”
Buzzing for 2025 💫
One minute you’re at a corporate gig with Sandi Toksvig and the next you’re elves at the Peckham Festive Market
Introduce yourself with some jobs you have done apart from what you do now
Chip shop (continuously told off because my portion sizes were astronomical)
Boots (did all the tannoy announcements in silly voices)
Styling for TV (most celebs wear big pants. We are not alone)
Had our annual sob watching Klaus, last night 💫
I’ve had a job get cancelled, so my December is far less busy than planned.
If anyone’s doing an R&D, rehearsed reading, workshop, short film, scratch night, ANYTHING and needs an actor/writer/singer/creative brain, I’ve been told I’m a decent addition to a rehearsal room, set or studio 🤎🤎🤎
Cast me in a Hallmark Christmas film, for goodness SAKE❗️

I just know we’re all getting the same pre show jitters before seeing Wicked
Had a lovely time working in Caerdydd, last week. Workshops and R&Ds are so special, aren’t they? I feel like my ✨little brain✨ has been put to good use
• I write hopeful, silly, chopsy, anthemic plays about intergenerational relationships and unlikely conversations
Bonus round: I could and would not live without hot sauce, my favourite musical is Sunday in the Park with George, I have OCD and I’m a triple Virgo ♍️
⭐️ A reintroduction ⭐️
• I’m a Welsh actor and writer from Caerphilly, living in London
• I’m currently working with National Theatre Wales and Paul Kaiba on the development of a new play
• I’ve just been made a Trustee of Spectacle Theatre, an amazing charity and theatre company in the RCT
I’m working back in Wales, this week and feeling really grateful. I think it’s important to clock when you’re living out something you once dreamed of and YEARNED for, in real time.
