Back to it

I’ve only gone and dropped the blogging ball (thought I was supposed to be a juggler) for a few weeks. It’s been proper well busy like (I’m trying this new writing style where I write how a teenage chav speaks). I is being gigging a right ton fam, and it’s … ok, even I’m getting on my nerves now. I’ll revert to my old ways of waffling along. Fair play to you if you’ve gotten his far, I would’ve closed the window and thrown my laptop in the bin by this point. At the time of writing, I am in the sea on P&O Arvia somewhere between Cadiz and Southampton, on my way home.

I’ve done a couple of nights of shows on here, and I’ve really had an absolute blast. The audiences on here are always some of my all time favourites and are always up for a laugh. On here I work two nights, and on each I do my show 3 times. I have to say, it is exhausting. But boy is it fun. Hand on heart, it is always the highlight of every cruise ship contract for me. This time I had some new backdrops for the shows too that were designed by my mate Ben at Keskorra. I used Keskorra for my poster designs and also my book. I highly recommend them for if you need anything designed.

I’m pleased to say that I have had a lot of bookings come in for 2024, so I have updated my gigs page here. I still have a few gaps so please do get in touch for 2024 if you’d like to book me. If not, please feel free to book ahead for 2025.

I recently finished a 6 week summer season at Cromer Pier in Norfolk. I am going to do a completely separate post about that soon as there is a lot to say, but in the mean time I’d like to share a video with you. Over the 6 weeks, I performed 52 shows. For each show I had about a 30 minute window of time in my dressing room. I decided to use this time wisely and film a trick during each show. Here are 52 tricks, in 52 shows:

Dig out that itchy Xmas jumper, dangly reindeer earrings and that annoying festive tie that flashes lights and plays a tune when you squeeze it. It’s time to head on down to Jon Udry’s Variety Bungalow Xmas Special for an evening of cabaret, circus, burlesque and comedy, sprinkled with more Xmas spirit than you can shake your baubles at.

There will be a prize for the most festive outfit!

That’s all for now. Cheery bye!
