About Me

Ok, time for a new blurb, methinks! I am 30 now, which I guess makes me a grown-up, though I really don't feel like one! I am from a boring Midlands town, called Tamworth, which is famous for being the capital of Mercia, and having the country's first indoor ski slope with real snow. I have never been there. Seizing the opportunity to escape, I went to college in Lancashire, then after that ended up living in Manchester for 3 years. Did some am-dram, sold some chocolate. After a few months back home (saving money-pah!) I finally moved to London 5 years ago and I never want to leave! I did more am-dram for a while, including playing a 17 yr old having a tantrum on a chaise-longe, wearing bloomers! Then I started going to impro workshops, fulfilling another one of my little dreams. I love it, but I haven't been for ages. It's one of those things I keep meaning to go back to. However, I can still be found at the Comedy Store every sunday, I've been going for nearly 12 years and see no reason to stop now!!

My Interests

Improvisation (watching and occasionally performing), comedy, theatre, photography, glass painting, researching my family tree, singing. (Mostly in karaoke!) And cats! I am also trying to re-learn the flute- it's been 10 years since I played and I've forgotten it!

I'd like to meet:

Hmm, tricky one. I'll have to think about that. Some of my friends met Nicholas Parsons in Edinburgh, that was cool. And these guys, of course!!...

Music:

The Divine Comedy! Duke Special, Idlewild/Roddy Woomble, Ben Folds, Joby Talbot, Mike Oldfield, The Corrs (don't hate me..) Tim Minchin, Adiemus. 80's cheese! Musicals (sad, I know)! Current favourite is Wicked. I've recently discovered Clare Tael, who is fabulous, and am now beginning to get into jazz. I played a bit on my flute years ago and that was fun!

Movies:

Bridget Jones's Diary, Moulin Rouge, Notting Hill, general chick-flicks. Also Lord of the Rings, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and various sci-fi and action movies.

Television:

Have I Got News For You, Lost, House, CSI, NCIS, Criminal Minds, Bones (basically anything about forensics!) Mitchell and Webb, Whose Line is it Anyway (sadly no more), Blackadder, Red Dwarf, QI....it's a long list. I should get out more!

Books:

Chick lit to read on the tube. Working my way through Katie Fforde's at the mo. Also like Jasper Fforde, Agatha Christie, Ellis Peters, Kathy Reichs, Douglas Adams and Tony Hawks.

Heroes:

it's cheesy, but the Comedy Store Players. (I'll probably change this)

My Blog

This weekend was my younger cousins 21st birthday. I remember her birth quite clearly, so needless to say this occasion made me feel quite old! However, never one to pass up the opportunity to get tar...

15 minutes-long or short??

I am currently passing time waiting for my hair dye to finish developing. Every time I look at the clock, exepcting the time to be almost up, there's still ages to go! How can 15 minutes take so long?...

I feel sick!

I've been steadily chomping away on my massive Easter egg over the past couple of weeks, I've nearly finished it now but I thinking eating a large chunk of chocolate after a big bowl of pasta was a re...

Aaaaatchoo!!

I've just spent the past 3 days at home. Whilst it's nice to get out of London occasionally, I am very badly allergic to my parents house! I think it is because the neighbours cats go round all the ti...

Gig Photos

I decided this is as good a place as any to share some of my gig photos. Please excuse the random layouts- Googlepages is a nightmare to use, symmetry is impossible! Clicky for big versions!  Idl...

A little oasis..

This evening I was meeting friends in Leicester Square. Now, at 6pm it is not exactly the most calm of places, in fact it is one of those places which I believe has never been calm since the day it wa...

weird!

I cannot get into my Myspace profile, yet for some reason it's letting me blog! It knows I'm logged in, I just can't do anything! Very bizarre! For conversational purposes please email me- I really a...

A new hobby...

Well it's not really a new hobby, rather taking up an old one again. I've bought paper and pencils and started drawing again! I always loved art at school, it's one of my lasting regrets that I had to...
