Hello! For my first post on BlueSky, I thought I'd share my Etsy page. I create handmade posters of "Showstopper! The Improvised Musical" shows✏️

A drawing of my favourite facet of improv: Imagination. The brilliant improv company "The Pretend Company" have asked people "What is your favourite visual image, mental model or metaphor to explain a facet of improv?". I thought I'd draw what improv means to me as well as write it down ✏️

This one is turning 11 years old this week. From a tiny fluff ball to a gorgeous, cuddly, cheeky, loving tortoiseshell cat. I adore our snuggles in the mornings. How can you want to get up when you have this purring next to you? I wish there was a way to pause time.
Happy birthday, Tigs 🎂❤️

As well as the @showstoppermusical.bsky.social red phone, I also found a Lego cassette player. I adore the 80s so I had to get this one as well. The detail is impeccable. I've created a video of it with added sound effects at the end as if it were real 🎵
Time-lapse of the build is in thread below.

"It's the producer!" ☎️
Found this Lego red phone that reminded me of @showstoppermusical.bsky.social so I had to get it. It's beautifully made. I've created a video of it with the one and only @dylanmarkemery.bsky.social 's voice in the background.
The time-lapse of the build is in the thread below.

Over the moon with next year's Improvathon theme - the 80s are the best 📺📼💾

If you're able to go, you'll have the most magnificent time. It's very rare to see so many phenomenal improvisers from around the world on one stage. It's storytelling paradise 🌟

It was this beautiful boy's birthday the other day. My best bud. The most affectionate rescue dog. He's grown within himself so much. The strength he gives me is immeasurable. He's allowed me to fully appreciate nature, the value of a moment, and to have proper meaningful fun. He's extraordinary 🎂❤️

This is a really lovely behind the scenes video of the @comedystoreplayers.com 40th birthday photoshoot. It's beautifully made & encapsulates the essence of the company wonderfully.

I recently came across this extraordinary acting masterclass with the incredible Samuel West of a scene from Twelfth Night. It's utterly fascinating and allows you to see the words in a brilliant new light. I've been geeking over it 🎭

When I got to my neighbours house today to walk Merlin, I found this waiting for me. I knew he was clever but I didn't know he could go into shops and buy food!
Thank you Merlin ❤️🐶

This Thursday I'm doing a gig with these absolute legends of improv comedy; @josielawrence.bsky.social, @ruthbratt.bsky.social, Cariad Lloyd and Patti Stiles! How exciting. There might be some tickets left if you fancy it 🤩

Treated myself to a @showstoppermusical.bsky.social day, with a matinee show of "Tent!" (6th August 2018) from the Showstopper DVD, and an evening show of "Tinker Traitor Smoulder Spy" livestream (16th November 2020).
Thank you Stoppers for always being there to make us smile ❤️🖤

There's only one person who should play Beetlejuice and that's the phenomenal @andrewpugsley.bsky.social - he'd be incredible! Whenever Beetlejuice is suggested in @showstoppermusical.bsky.social Andrew always channels the voice perfectly 🤩

The other day I met Huckleberry the Highland cow who lives at our local rescue centre. This was my first time seeing a Highland cow in person. So beautiful and gentle. A very wholesome moment ❤️

"A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes...A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, clever or dull...Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare, and pure, and special?"
Love you, Merlin ❤️
