Ok, Paddington The Musical is not needing to go so hard with this incredible villain song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=66e3...

Like, this is a full-on banger! I may need to get tickets to see Victoria Hamilton Barritt sing this live. My word.

Last night was an absolute whirlwind and I am so proud of what we managed to achieve. I had an absolute blast and it was an honour to work with such a lovely company!

Thanks to everyone at Your Chance Productions for letting me be part of this and getting to live my Dougal and Ogie dreams!

Someone's listened to and reviewed #TheBurningAsh #Audiobook and they loved it! Makes all the effort I put into making it worth it! Definitely brought a smile to my face today.

Well that was exceptional. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was wonderful and I'm so glad I got to see it before it left the West End. It deserves a little life across the country and I'd kill to see it at the Minack. Utter perfection.

So excited to finally see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in London. I've been wanting to see it for months and had to get here before it closed. 🦀⏳🌊

One of my goals for 2025 was to turn my three published books into audiobooks. Today, that goal reaches its completion!

You can now listen to audiobook versions of all my books!

Bravo to the cast and crew of The Hunchback of Notre Dame In Concert ! Phenomenal performances of a truly stunning show. Not a perfect concert due to a few questionable and distracting costuming and staging decisions. But I loved it! 🔔🔔🔔

I've just finished editing and have submitted the audiobook for #TheBurningAsh! 6 years after I originally published my debut novel, it's been so wonderful to return to it and narrate it. I forgot how much I adored the world and characters I created.

I’m happy to share that after 5 months of the horror that is unemployment and the job hunt due to redundancy, I’m finally starting a new position this month as Digital Marketing Manager!

Time to get my life back on track and move on towards a brighter future!

Just got back from #Fantastic4 #FirstSteps with @ntom64.bsky.social! A really solid film. Easily the best film version of these heroes to date. Very much Sue's film for better or worse, but the entire cast are brill and I can't wait to see them in Doomsday. 😊

Very glad to finally be in a position where I can feel comfortable getting a #Switch2 which means I can finally enjoy some #MarioKartWorld! Absolutely adored that Rainbow Road too! Stunning!

Oh how time flies! Today is Milo's Gotcha Day! 4 years ago today he came home with me. A small, shy little pupper with the most adorable face. Little did I know what a special dog he'd grow into and I wouldn't be without him. He's my bestest boy and always will be. ❤️

I was so inspired by #ClairObscurExpedition33 from @sandfallgames.bsky.social that I wrote a poem to capture the essence of the message I took from this stunning game: We Continue.

I hope you enjoy.

We Continue - A Poem for Expedition 33 - Richard Kish
Yesterday I completed the phenomenal Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. On reaching the end, I was inspired to write a poem to capture its essence.

So Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is exceptional. Just beaten it and it's an early #GOTY contender. A sublime world, soundtrack, characters, game and a truly mature and philosophical exploration of grief, community, love, and perseverance. Cannot praise @sandfallgames.bsky.social enough!

Two poems I wrote last year to mark the closing of the production of Avenue Q I was in.

Just two of many I wrote throughout the process that ended up in 30: A Year of Poems (amzn.eu/d/hmpNpKP). 😊 Miss my Q-Fam loads!

Finally watched #TheWildRobot. What a phenomenal film. And I am now an emotional mess. Wonderfully animated, and a fantastic look at purpose, family, and the importance of community. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a great film right now. #FilmSky #FilmReview

Can't quite believe that I graduated from @christscollegecam.bsky.social 10 years ago today. I'm not quite where I thought I'd be all these years later, but I'm still so proud of my degree and will be forever grateful for my time there and all that I learned and the people I met.

So glad I could experience #FrozenTheMusical again thanks to the proshot. I will never forget the joy of Samantha Barks belting Let It Go so close to my face and this is a stunning way of keeping the show alive for posterity.

Even performing 'exceptionally well' at interview isn't enough to get a job right now. Currently feeling utterly defeated.
I can relay that you performed exceptionally well and the panel were happy with your interview, there was just unfortunately, a slightly stronger candidate on the day.
