TONIGHT!!!
Recording my new show Bricks at @standnewcastle.
A daft show about being a step-parent that's got some stupidly earnest bits in, drawings, LOADS of laughs and right good fun.
Tickets from The Stand's website if you wanna come!

My show at The Stand Newcastle is just over a week away.
Come see Bricks on Sun 18 Feb.
It's a funny, daft, heartfelt show about being a step-parent, 80s films, goths, relationships, parenting, social class and dogs.
Come.
