We’ve just dropped our eldest off at uni - so the cat-we-don’t-own is our new child! Packing your kids off into the world is a mix of excitement, worry and pride - like parenthood in general tbh. So here's to new adventures - and don’t talk to me or my furry baby ever again…

“Adam’s eyes rolled white and he screamed as the first flames licked up his shin.” Whoever said religion and science don’t mix has never read my new short story ‘CANON’ – which is kinda like Quantum Leap meets The Wicker Man… no, really! danlong.substack.com/p/canon

Very lucky to have met one of my comedy and art heroes all rolled into one - the legendary @jimmoir1.bsky.social - at Art Car Boot Fair. It was lovely to chat and he gave our youngest advice on her schoolwork which is based on his magpie pieces. Anyway - always meet your heroes! 🖤🤍💙💚

MONSOON SEASON CONTINUES… Absolutely overjoyed to return to my happy place - the fabulous OH, MARY - this time with the wonderful @thejinkx.bsky.social in the title role. What a cast, what a production - I love it to pieces, it’s just the VERY BEST ♥️

10 years since we caught ‘em all! One decade ago today, we opened the @insertcoin.bsky.social X Pokémon pop-up store. It was SO much hard work - but it was worth all the blood, sweat and pokeballs to bring Kanto to a corner of London… did you come to see us there?

THUMBS UP FOR THYLACINES! 👍 Over the moon to have caught up with James Cranfield to talk about his recent headline-making thylacine discovery - and share our old replica skulls. It's not everyone who is lucky enough to have a natural history expert at the end of their road!

We lived in a house, a very big house in the country… For a very short while this summer @drteamcorvette.bsky.social and I were lord and lady of the manor - in part of Anne of Cleves divorce settlement no less. And then we hobnobbed with hummingbird hawk moths and photobombing squirrels.

Dan Long @mrteamcorvette.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

We have lofty ambitions! We've been in our home 20 years TODAY and, over the last few months, @drteamcorvette.bsky.social and I have been working with a fab team of builders to create a mini suite at the top of our house. PLUS it's made space for a new office and lounge too. Absolutely lush.

IT’S SHOWTIME! Hey folks, @drteamcorvette.bsky.social and I caught BEETLEJUICE in the West End and had the time of our (after)life. The staging is amazing and the cast fabulous - so summon up a great time and catch it while you can…

We were in the room where it happens… @drteamcorvette.bsky.social and I saw the utterly magnetic Leslie Odom Jr as Aaron Burr in Hamilton - and it was AMAZING. Talk less, smile more and catch the original A-Dot-Burr in London while you can…

Baby’s Solo Theatre Trip! I braved the heat to catch Grace Pervades, an elegant, charming and very funny love letter to life on stage - and the lives of Henry Irving and Ellen Terry. It’s a real joy, especially if you love theatre as a medium, so try to catch it while you can…

Something has to change. @drteamcorvette.bsky.social and I travelled 200 miles to watch the incredible Jodie Comer perform Prima Facie. What a powerful production - the impact of Suzie Miller’s words cannot be underestimated and should be compulsory viewing for EVERYONE.

For anyone who ever wondered: would anyone notice? Would anyone really notice? I went to see my lovely friend @safiyyaingar.bsky.social smash it in Maggots at @bushtheatre.bsky.social A fab cast, great writing and intimate staging combine to make something really special. Catch it while you can!

The staging was simple but worked so well

Anything can happen in the woods… @drteamcorvette.bsky.social and I went to the @bridgetheatre.bsky.social to catch INTO THE WOODS and we had a very nice time. Of course, nice is different than good, but this is a FABULOUS production. Make your own happy ever after and try to catch it if you can…
