It has been really lovely to have Show Off! back up and running again - and especially brilliant to be reunited with so many lovely people. One more to go this year - on 14 November- and then, with any luck, several more in 2026.
Here: Matthew Gent, Robert Hazle and Tasha Sheridan on 26 September.

I finally saw Ohio tonight, at the Young Vic. It was brilliant. It’s well worth a visit.

It’s tonight! Very excited to be bringing Show Off! back (again) - and also quite conscious that it is going to be a very busy day.

Some exciting professional news:
Show Off! is returning in September! Matthew Gent and Tasha Sheridan will be co-hosting, with Robert Hazle at the piano. I will undoubtedly mention this again between now and then:)

Normal levels of theatre activity will resume next week - and there is certainly a daunting mountain of admin to be handled in the meantime - but it has been very strange going from the wonderful overstimulation of the Fringe to a very quiet and largely theatre-free late summer week in London.

I made it back to the Edinburgh Fringe this year as a punter, seeing 25 shows in 3 1/2 days last week. I absolutely loved it, despite the exhaustion that came with it.

The summer fun is largely over now. The coming weeks and months are likely to be action-packed, with plenty of cause for anxiety, but I’m also looking forward to lots of things.
I will likely be a bit more present here going forward.

The weather was mixed, but it was nevertheless great to fit in a swim at the West Reservoir today.

It was great to be dancing with friends at the Rivoli again tonight, for the first time in far too long.

It's Independent Bookshop Week. Ways you can support them:
-Don't browse a little bookshop, make a mental note of titles, then get them on Amazon. Buy the books then and there! Dare you!
-Get them to order books in, they almost always can.
-Just march in and present them with a huge bag of money.

Saw Meow Meow tonight - for the first time in a while but very much not for the first time - at @sohotheatre.bsky.social. The show was utterly brilliant. I highly recommend it.

Fifteen years ago right about now, on Saturday 6 March 2010, the first ever Show Off! night was in full swing. It was an exciting, exhilarating night at Koha with a great crowd.

I’m sad that Why Am I So Single? has ended so soon, but really glad that I got to be there today for the final performances. It is an extraordinary show, and it was an extraordinary production - and today was really special.

A couple of weeks into 2025 and the shows are becoming a bit more serious, which is not a bad thing. Tonight’s was @ivograham.bsky.social’s Carousel at the @parktheatrelondon.bsky.social. It was fantastic.

Hello hello - calling my trans and NB folks and related allies. I'm writing an explainer on puberty blockers. If you or someone you love has used them and found them helpful, would you like to drop me a line at kat.brown@inews.co.uk? #journorequest

It was great to be back at the Rivoli Ballroom last night for Charles’s Jukebox. It’s a real treat to let loose on the dance floor there with so many friends.

Genuinely shocked at the plans to close the Museum of Cannock Chase and the Prince of Wales Theatre in Cannock, where I lived from 2006-2021.

Tonight’s show was The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Cameras are actively encouraged at the curtain call, so here we go (though it’s not a great shot).
I’m really glad to have seen it.
