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!

Just leaving Beer. I'm I'm on BBC Radio Devon at around 10.40am this morning to talk about the South West Coast Path and the walk so far. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
July 10, 2025 at 8:29 AM
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!
May 14, 2025 at 7:18 PM
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.

We have a matinee performance of Lynn Faces today and also pay what you can tickets from £3. Please share, we'd love bigger audiences, it's so hard when you're in a landscape with so many celebrity driven shows & teams with huge PR budgets & clout.

We've just had four beautiful 4* reviews in for Lynn Faces @newdiorama.bsky.social. I'm so delighted, pleased and proud of our team. My favourite comment through was from Sarah Gosling: "Laura, that was totally unhinged."

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.

I'm delighted that Lynn Faces is a pick in the @theguardian.com today.

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

We open @newdiorama.bsky.social on Tuesday for two weeks and I cannot wait to have some time in London to hang out.
February 15, 2025 at 1:06 PM
We're sold out tonight! Thank you so much to everyone who has supported Lynn Faces. I've been so moved by the responses and I've had an absolute ball this week! Plymouth audiences are incredible.

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...
