Hi,

It’s been a year since the last time I sent a message to my mailing list, and that’s because I have been busy having a baby!

It’s been the most intense, wonderful, brutal experience and I can’t wait to talk about it on stage. My baby is great, but she absolutely hates my comedy.
She says it’s smiles and not laughs. If, however, you’ve missed seeing me do comedy you are in wonderful luck, I’m about to do all kinds of fun things and I would love you to come:

In March and April i’m out on a short tour with Jonny and the Baptists and Grace Petrie, we are reprising our “Lefty Scum” shows for 10 dates only. Come and see some talented musicians and also me.

I’m going to be taking my first new show to the Edinburgh fringe in FIVE years this summer, at the Stand. I will be there all month and announcing tickets really soon.

Then if you can bear the suspense, I’m going to be touring this time next year, all around the UK. Tickets for that are on sale soon too, so watch this space. I’ll try to update this list more often so that people don’t miss out.

There’s a new series of Short Cuts on its way too, coming back to Radio 4 in the next couple of months, and as I gradually get more than two hours of consecutive sleep at a time, expect me to announce other new projects!

I hope you’re having a good 2019 so far. If everything is feeling too anxious you can borrow what i have been thinking: It is not the actual end of the world, it’s just the beginning of it for some babies so don’t let the stress of everything bully you, we can look after each other!

p.s. sorry for the earnest bit, i’ve been doing yoga with adriene.
