I am a present working on a number of projects including working along side Headstart and ShowTown Blackpool to improve Resiliance in young people by using Stand-up comedy.
The project is called Open Up the Mic and will be starting again in January 2021.
Miss Nobodies, is a new show, commissioned by Spot On Lancashire & Super Slow Way, in conjunction with Lancashrie Libraries.
The show has been inspired by Ethel carnie Holdsworth the first working class female novalist in the UK. The show is to premier at Great Harwood Library. The town there Etehl Carnie used to work in the mills.
More information about the commisione here.
I am also one half of 'black liver', a musical double act, created by character comedian Keith Carter and myself during lockdown.
We were locked in together, so we created the band ‘black liver’; releasing videos of our songs and antics every week, reaching audiences of several thousand a week. These can be seen on our black liver website, (made due to popular demand).
