Had a blast performing my spooky, immerse festive horror piece at DarK Winter Tales this evening at Porters in Cardiff.
@mattroy.bsky.social was an amazing host, and delivered a great spooky tale alongside the talented Gordon and both Rachels!
A terrific audience too!

My new play!
Vibes wise- The Mercury Theatre War Of The Worlds meets Late Night With The Devil. Or Me and Orson Welles meets Ghostwatch.
When a troupe of radio actors in 1930s New York begin performing their Halloween output they get more than they bargain for in the chilling tales.

I think about Jack Parsons too much. Maybe it's him being the missing link between Aleister Crowley and L. Ron Hubbard? Maybe it's the pencil moustache? maybe it's the rockets? Maybe it's that he can lay claim to such a title as jet propelled antichrist? whatever it is, I love it.

Absolute belter of a gig at Riot Act Bristol last night, got to host the legends Attila the Stockbroker and Jeff Innocent as well as whole bunch of other amazing comedians and poets. Still buzzing from it! Loco Klub, is also a fantastic venue. Fantastic!
