And finally, to Matt Powell, my co-director, co-conspirator, and dear friend. Thank you for sharing this journey with me, for every Monday night meeting, for buoying me when I was down, for caring so much about this festival and what it represents. I can't imagine having done this with anybody else.

SAPPY POST INCOMING Last Saturday we closed the 2025 NZ Improv Festival with Scene Painting, where we literally put paint on the stage at BATS (and then spent 4 hours repainting it black).

A black stage with a little bit of white paint on it.

The same stage absolutely covered in SO MUCH colourful paint.

Only Connect is back on BBC2 on Mondays! Here's one of mine from a recent episode – can you work out what comes fourth in this sequence?

A screenshot of an episode of only connect. The clues are:
1/2 = T
2/3 = H
3/4 = U
and a question mark in place of the fourth clue.

We had the first Grifted & Talented of the year this weekend and it was an absolute DREAM. The cast brought exactly the right balance of joy and mischief, the crowd were on board, and the format's really starting to hit its stride (and open up new potential). Couldn't be happier.
