Gigs, Festivals and that

Bonjour

Been a bust last month for me, working on summer youth projects with both Battersea Arts Centre and The Albany, which has been a lot of fun and a big learning curve. Worked with some great young people, who all put on performances from work they generated during devising sessions. I'd go as far as saying I actually prefer watching youth theatre shows as opposed to fully developed professional ones, but anyway, that's for another day..

Shambala Festival

On Sunday at 7pm, I'm going to be in the Story Telling Yurt doing an exert from The Bedsit show, there's gonna be 11 other story tellers in there, all speaking on the theme of My First Time. Should be a laugh!



In The Woods Festival

Sat 30th, I'm doing a super extended 40 minute set, don't get that long very often so I'm looking foreword to it! Did this festival last year  and it's in a very nice setting, also, in the bit I'll be performing in, it's all done on them silent disco headphones, which is nuts, but works very well!

Bang Said The Gun

Sept 18th, not only is Bang back for their summer break but I'm back! It's been a while since I've done a gig there, always love Bang, easily one of the best nights in London, if not the world!


A Tale From The Bedsit / 3 Mile Radius @ Richmix

Speaking of the Bedsit show, I'm mad excited about this, it's gonna be a little different from the shows I've done before and it's also double bill with Talia Randall and her 3 Mile Radius show but more about this very shortly...

March 2014 (nuts!)

Greetings...

So, March was a pretty busy Month. I've been enjoying spending some time at home of late, working on some new bits and having a bit of a rest after all the activities of the last month...

A Tale From The Bedsit


It all worked out well. I really enjoyed the run at BAC, had some great audiences in and lots of new faces which was really nice, managed to pick up a couple more reviews as well, got another one from EVERYTHING THEATRE and POEJAZZI which I was chuffed about. The British Library came and filmed it for their archives, which is nuts! The show they came for, was probably the best one as well, it never works that way!.. I'm waiting to see what happens next with the show, hopefully more..err shows! In the meantime, here's some pictures Stef took from the rehearsals..









No Milk For The Foxes

So straight after I finished the Bedsit show, I went straight into rehearsals the next day, with Conrad Murray, for the Foxes show. We were performing a work-in-progress, kind of like a first draft really, at the Camden people's Theatre. We had no idea what to expect, I think what Conrad and I are doing is quite different, in the way we perform and how we've developed it but it went really well. So much so, were hopefully going into full development..fingers crossed

This was pretty much our set for the show

Play Festival

The Young Producer program at Battersea Arts Centre I have been working with as artist, since the beginning of the year had their 3 day festival in March and it all went off pretty damn well! they had programmed several artists and installations and fun rooms, all around the theme of childhood and play. It went off a treat, really proud of the team!

The team, minus Charlie

The Night Before The Show Begins

Here I am. This is going to be a bit cheesy. It's 10 43 pm on the 25th November 2013. I've not long got back home to Morden. A Tale From The Bedsit begins it's run tomorrow. It's been a few years in my head, has existed in some form on paper for around 2 years and went into actual physical development back in January this year.

We got into the Camden Lock Hotel today (where the majority of the 9 shows will take place) we have the set in, the sound set up and we've managed to do a few run through's. I feel quite well prepared, as prepaid as I can be. Come tomorrow I'll probably be pretty nervous, it's a lot to take in, it's a lot to concentrate on and it's a lot of talking! I can say though, I've enjoyed the whole process, I have a great team around me, great support from the Roundhouse, plus all the many family and friends who've supported me from the start.  I'm up for this now!

The Last Word Festival at Roundhouse November 2013

Stef took this one today!






There is still two tickts left for the 5pm performance on Saturday 30th which you can book here .

There was also a nice little mention from the producer of the festival Lucy Atkinson in the Metro last week.
Sorry I don't know how to turn the picture round!

I also did this interview for the Run Riot arts blog which you can read here

I think this about it. I'll write again when I've come out the other end, maybe a better person or something cheesey like that...
