I'm featured in the Yorkshire Times today re: an event I'm doing in Harrogate next week, where I'll be recreating a mortifying memory from my teens. The last time I did this on stage in 2018 I found the whole thing so emotionally taxing that I burst into tears.

One of my colleagues visited the pacific northwest and surprised me today with some Twin Peaks merch. At the time I was drinking a black coffee and wearing this badge. I’m the David Lynch equivalent of a full kit wanker and I won’t be changed.
