Mr Blackpool’s Seaside Spectacular, an end of the pier show at the end of the world…

6th November, Northern Stage, presented with Curious Arts.

8th November, Southbank Centre.

Commissioned by @marlboroughprods.bsky.social and @attenboroughctr.bsky.social. Supported by Arts Council England.
Four performers are on a stage in various positions. Two at either side of the image are dressed in drag as Mick Hucknall and are on go karts. One on the left of the image is pulling a face akin to a grimace and the other is giving fashion. They are in large wigs and black suits with white shirts. One performer at the back of the image in the centre left is stood up holding a CO2 gun and is dressed in drag as a stick of rock. The other performer at the front of the image centre right is laid on the floor in a giant lilac feather showgirl costume with one arm holding the headdress. Behind the performers is heras fencing, traffic panels and pyro. Throughout the image is confetti. The lights are lilac and it looks incredibly exciting.

Now the proud owner of this beautiful, pre-loved, second hand leather outfit from Berlin. You can, and most certainly should, call me Daddy. Holidays are fun.
Harry in full leather look (jacket, trousers and boots) stands in front of a small potted hedge which is in front of glass windows reflecting a sunset. Harry has blue sunglasses and a leather hat at a jaunty angle.

We just watched White Christmas, which this year celebrates its 70th anniversary. Spoiler (apparently): This piece of movie trivia is quite something.
Text that reads: “Spoilers. The snow used at the end of the film is actually asbestos.”

I’m looking after Elvis at the moment. He’s 13 and had open heart surgery last month. His recovery has been a beautiful thing to behold. Elvis is a precious angel.

@cronin.xxx @simonpearson.bsky.social
Elvis the puggle sleeps with his head between his paws and his face all smushed up on a multicoloured blanket on a brown leather sofa.

Quote with a short video of yourself

My favourite ever Halloween costume was when I dressed as someone who appeared on the Antiques Roadshow and discovered the artwork in their loft was actually worth a substantial amount of money.
