About Me


Ooh, I haven't looked at this for AGES! I'm no longer the technical Director at the Canal Cafe Theatre, a fringe theatre in Little Venice in London, which (very) basically means I did all the lights and sound. I've stopped writing sketch comedy for the time being as I'm currently working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. I'm also putting on hold the whole directing thing although it still very much interests me. I'm still very much into lighting design and get the opportunity to learn a heck of a lot working in a multi million dollar theatre on the MS Westerdam. Still not going to be doing any acting or dancing any time soon, even if I am flexible enough.
I've finished going through a period of turmoil which was the best thing I've ever done and I'm learning more about myself every day! When I said before about how very greatful I was for those friends of mine who had the time and patience to listen and advise whilst I was on this journey, it was an understatement... you were as important to me as my beating heart and continue to be so. Thank you.
Also I now know the importance of just allowing events to happen as they come, rather than forcing things to happen. This results in a life with far less stress and anxiety which I wasn't even aware of. It's possible to live a life with so much background noise that you think it's just the way it's meant to be, but that's definitely not the case. There's always an alternative, you just have to choose it. I have continued this path and I'm more sure than ever it is the only way to truely experience this world. Take the chances, screw the fear, you'll prevail one way or another.
