September 2025 - Starting this autumn I'm excited to announce that I will be performing my poetry and short monologues to care homes and organisations/charities, of which there are two readings, each approximately 70 minutes in duration.

August 2025 - I finished the last edit/proofread of my first poetry book - a collection of lighthearted, comic and reflective poems which are similar in style to Pam Ayres, Wendy Cope and Spike Milligan, written with my mum (but independently), which I will soon be sending off to literary agents - with a second book also on the way. 

June 2025 - I enjoyed writing School Reunion (For Two), a 5 minutes monologue inspired by one of my poems about a man who bumps into a friend from his primary school days, who wonders if there is the possibility of rekindling their friendship? 

May 2025 - I was delighted that my comedy monologue Last Egg & Cress Standing was wonderfully performed by Lianne Weidmann in Dial M for Monologue at Abbey Theatre, St Albans. I'm pleased to write that it got a lot of laughs. The dress rehearsal:  https://youtu.be/hT9xY_4wgfM?si=bshZgkLT-gBUefUb
