So relieved that “Mammy’s House” is resonating with audiences. After each show many tell me about friends they lost to AIDS, & leaving Ireland because of being gay. This is the why…to finally talk about it openly, without shame. And when I get home, I decompress with @kathyburke.bsky.social book. 💚

In the last week, Russell T Davies and Kate Herron have come to see the play I wrote, Mammy’s House, about the LGBTQ+ Irish Diaspora experience of the AIDS Crisis in London. They’ve both been so supportive of the project. It runs until Sunday if you want to see it too. nowshow.ing/mammyshouse

We could not be more thankful and delighted that we are now 22% funded!! But we still have a long way to go. It would be incredible if we could hit 25% (which is just another £225)! We’d be very happy bunnies if you could spread the word far and wide. 🎭🇮🇪💖 www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/8WO0q2r...

For The Observer, I’ve written about growing up under the shadow of Section 28, bi erasure, and the role of the Bishopsgate Institute’s archive informing new books on LGBT+ history that offer resistance and lessons in our own increasingly intolerant times observer.co.uk/style/featur...

7pm next Tuesday I'll be joining my fellow effervescent queer writers Alan Flanagan and Jack C. Irwin at The Century Club in Soho to chat to Derek Murphy about all things writing, Irish upbringings, LGBTQ+ narratives with shenanigans a plenty. Email julie@IFTUK.com to reserve a free place.

After years of being afraid of trying to roll up cake because the idea of it just sounds ludicrous even though I know it happens all the time, I ventured forth and made a my first Yule log. Oh, the pride radiates strong in me.

Absolutely blown away by this feedback that landed into my inbox from the Austin Film Festival script competition. My comedy pilot about the challenges people in their 40s and beyond face as they come to terms with their unexplored #bisexuality later in life placed in the top 20% overall.

What’s the artistic obsession of having characters (TV/film) conduct entire conversations while brushing their teeth.? My misophonia simply CANNOT! I just have to mute it and miss any plot that happens in those scenes and hope I figure it out later.

The best thing about Slow Horses is how authentically grim London is portrayed. I moved here filled with Richard Curtis lies. The city served up Slow Horses.

When you’re co-writing a book about Mission Impossible, it’s only fair to see the new instalment with your writing partner! So @ericanela.bsky.social and her lovely husband left their native Nailsea and @amyclarke83.bsky.social and myself left London, to meet in the middle at Oxford.

Every weekday morning at this time I’m in the gym lifting something heavy and hoping it doesn’t give me a haemorrhoid. But on a Friday? Well, on a Friday one stays in bed until the pigeon in the gutter above my window starts his persistent drill sergeant like cooing. Routines are important.

I’m 32% of the way through a novel on my kindle that I only read when I get into bed at night and honestly I fall asleep so quickly that I genuinely haven’t a notion what it’s even about. But we persevere.
