Music and comedy fan. Avid reader of fantasy and sci-fi. Cat owner. She/her.
Just one more reason to adore Robin Ince. A gentleman who has decided that allyship is more important than career. I've been humming and hawing over buying Ice Cream For A Broken Tooth but will get off the fence this week and support an independent Edinburgh bookshop in the process.
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Guess what?
The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions.
Want to know what really happened and how colleagues stood up for her?

The Eastgate Theatre in Peebles is facing the loss of its core funding from the council. Could you spare a moment to sign this petition to ask the council to reconsider this plan?

If Andrew is doing a show near you this month please go see them as they are excellent and (be honest) you probably need a good old laugh don't you?

A cathartic show about fixing the world through a combination of direct action (rational) and ritual (irrational).

LEICESTER, SHEFFIELD AND HASTINGS THIS MONTH!

2024 was another successful year of making it out for at least one live music or live comedy gig a month.
January was comedy in the form of The Stand Edinburgh's Saturday night show with Jo Caulfield (I was meant to be going out for music on Jan 31st but Buckcherry cancelled due to illness).

Here to avoid the other place. Maybe I'll manage to make some interesting posts. Mostly I'll probably just repost other people.
