What an absolute privilege to host Youth Pride in the library today in partnership with United Youth Alliance, featuring the always-amazing @mamagstories.bsky.social . Huge thanks to @literacy-trust.bsky.social too for the book giveaways ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷

I know you've all been wondering where you can see me in panto this year, so I'm excited to tell you that you can catch me at BEAM Hertford in Beauty and the Beast!

If you can't wait until Christmas, I'll be at the venue in a few weeks with my own show!

Tickets for both are at the link in my bio!

Honestly, my heart wasn't ready for that at 10:30am on a Tuesday!

I had the most beautiful exchange at the end of today's story time in Wandsworth!

Little Person 1: You're a rainbow!
Me: Thank you!
Little Person 2: We're all rainbows!!
Nursery school cheers in unison.

🥲

You've got this!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Happy Pride Month everyone!

A week on Friday (May 30th) I will be celebrating my 7th anniversary of storytelling by making my 2nd appearance at the @hayfestival.bsky.social .

It's a huge honour to be invited back to read #OhYesIAm! especially as last year's festival was where I got to tell the world it was being published!

When the #WestEndFleaMarket and #FACup fall on the same day, I stand up and do what I have to do.

Well done Crystal Palace - it seems that some of you are a bit better at footie than me!

Listen, this queer history book for teens by David Roberts is probably one of the most important things to be published this year. There's not enough words in the world to express how I feel about this book - but I did give it a good go over on my insta.

Far be it from me to say I influenced the outcome of the FA Cup, but that one goal...

I'm looking for to being back at the West End Flea Market on Saturday, helping raise money for Acting for Others!

I'll be joining a dazzle of dames to entertain the crowds and rubbing shoulders with the casts of shows like Six and Mamma Mia!

Come and join us!

I'm very excited to be returning to read some CBeebies Bedtime Stories at Gloworm Festival in August - I feel like the luckiest panto dame in the world!

POV: it's story time at White Post Farm with my bestie Elmer the Patchwork Elephant!

Wore my new Irregulat Choice shoes for the first time today and had the best care home gig ever! Coincidence? I think not!

Happy publication day to this wonderful book!

#AYearOfPrideAndJoy

Not long until I head back (?!?!?!) to the @hayfestival.bsky.social!

I'm very excited to be reading #OhYesIAm! and talking all things panto! I can't believe this is my second time performing at this iconic event! I am one very lucky dame!

It's brilliant! Let me know what you think!

Just seen @spiescomedy.bsky.social and it is one of the FUNNIEST things I've ever seen!

As a fan of classic British farces it hit all the right boxes and then some.

It's like watching 'Allo 'Allo and Noises Off, but for a 2020s audience.
