A friend’s colander is working very well for eclipse-watching.

Very pleased to have done the 4 km swim at Swim Rutland this morning. The setting is beautiful (here’s a photo that I took of some of it yesterday evening), it was organised really well, and it was the right kind of challenge. And it meant a weekend in the country!

Last night’s Edinburgh preview of the new @awkwardprods.co.uk show Linus Karp Was Hit With An Umbrella was outstanding. The show is both serious and fun, with a lovely mix of vulnerability, strength and humour. It’s well worth seeing at the Fringe.

VERY excited to have picked up a hard-copy @edfringe.bsky.social programme today, Thank you, @sohotheatre.bsky.social! (Yes, the cover has a slight tear.) It’s very big this year, but I look forward to digesting it. My first 16 shows are already booked. Any recommendations/ shows to promote?

The High Life last night was such a delight: the show is fantastic and the energy levels on stage and in the audience were top-notch. The journey to Glasgow was definitely worthwhile.

Great to see Copenhagen tonight, around 25 years after my first (and only other) viewing. It’s well worth seeing.

My fifth show of 2026 involved a bit of a field trip - but it was well worth it. I’m glad - finally - to have caught The Last Ship, in a new production.

It has been really lovely to have Show Off! back up and running again - and especially brilliant to be reunited with so many lovely people. One more to go this year - on 14 November- and then, with any luck, several more in 2026. Here: Matthew Gent, Robert Hazle and Tasha Sheridan on 26 September.

It’s tonight! Very excited to be bringing Show Off! back (again) - and also quite conscious that it is going to be a very busy day.

Some exciting professional news: Show Off! is returning in September! Matthew Gent and Tasha Sheridan will be co-hosting, with Robert Hazle at the piano. I will undoubtedly mention this again between now and then:)

It was a fun first day of Might Hoopla. @tonybirdlondon.bsky.social’s fabulous outfit was popular!

It was great to be back at the Rivoli Ballroom last night for Charles’s Jukebox. It’s a real treat to let loose on the dance floor there with so many friends.

Tonight’s show was The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Cameras are actively encouraged at the curtain call, so here we go (though it’s not a great shot). I’m really glad to have seen it.

Tonight’s show was Sasha Regan’s production of The Pirates of Penzance at Wilton’s Music Hall - my first time seeing the production since 2012. The cast and MD are fantastic, and it was a lot of fun.
