Photograph taken by the brilliant photographer Kenneth Lam. It is taken in “The Roses of Elagabalus” - a new queer clubhouse in Dalston. In the background a beautiful minimalist mural of a reclining nude figure. In the foreground a still-life of props from Neil Kelso’s show. From left to right a white billiard ball, a crystal ball, a metronome, two red billiard balls, some dollar bills, a top hat, a leather glove gripping two playing cards, and a vintage clock. It is arranged on a cream coloured satin cloth, on a vintage wooden table with a diamond pattern on its leg. The lighting is so perfect that it looks like a beautiful renaissance painting. It has a magical and mysterious atmosphere.

Throughout December, the legendary British Pullman train is gloriously festive. ✨

I’m thrilled to be performing close-up sleight-of-hand magic, at your table. 🪄🎩

Together we’re making magical memories that last a lifetime. 🚂

Nobody does it better than #BritishPullman

Did you know? (I didn’t) … the reason passengers at the *front* of the plane get boarded first (and everyone else shuffles past) is to keep the weight evenly distributed - balancing the heavy engines at the back.
(Also, the front is where the drivers usually sit, and they’re quite important.)

Peeeeeek!
Just popping in to tell you that once a month I write down seven things that I’ve been finding inspiring or intriguing.
Then I pop them in an email and send it to anyone who’s interested.
It’s called 7Secrets.
Everyone’s welcome and it’s totally free.

Neil Kelso a smiley white man with a brown beard. He is wearing a grey woolen hat and blue jacket. He is peering out from behind a grand piano. The piano keys and his face are reflected in the shiny black polished piano. In the background is the balcony and dress circle of Hoxton Hall.

Here’s something I’m super proud of. I wrote and directed “DEAD ON TIME” an immersive murder mystery that happens onboard the British Pullman train as you travel around the Kent countryside. It’s shortlisted as BroadwayWorld’s best immersive show of the year. The cast are *amazing*. Go if you can!
