Solid work from Frenchy here.
Suzy Bennett & are starting a new comedy night 'I don't Usually Find Women Funny' as we've lost count of the number of times we've heard it & we're fed up. We put a call out for videos & was delighted when Dawn French responded!

Today I made the midway marker for the South West Coast Path. 315 miles down, 315 miles to go. It's a mammoth journey but I'm taking it one day at a time, even though some days are more overwhelming than others. Thank you to everyone who has supported me & donated.

I have the best pals! I'm walking 630 miles for charity but I got injured. I'm inching on, albeit slower than I'd hoped. About 100 miles in, 530 to go!

In March 2020 I'd planned to hike the South West Coast Path; the idea of carrying everything I needed in one bag & moving forwards every day was appealing to me. The pandemic put that on hold, but today I'm heading to the start point to start the 630 mile walk on my own.

Yesterday, we spoke at a panel for the play Lynn Faces which powerfully engages with themes of coercive control.
Our Head of Policy Hannana Siddiqui discussed the structural barriers to support for Black, minoritised & migrant women, and the value of specialist community-based 'by & for' services.

What an end to an incredibly special week Theatre Royal Plymouth. We played to a sold out crowd last night & it was epic. I'm delighted to have been asked to do BBC Woman's Hour tomorrow, a personal dream come true for me before we open @newdiorama.bsky.social for the next leg of the tour.

We've honestly had the most wonderful week in Plymouth, audiences have been beautiful.

Plymouth friends I open my play Lynn Faces Theatre Royal tonight.
The play is a real-time punk gig inspired by Lynn from Alan Partridge. No knowledge of Partridge necessary! There are still tickets left & I'd love a sell out crowd if we can. theatreroyal.com/whats-on/lyn...
