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.

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.

Songs For A New World tonight was fantastic!

Tonight’s show was Every Brilliant Thing, with Sue Perkins. It was fantastic.

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:)

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 was a fun first day of Might Hoopla. @tonybirdlondon.bsky.social’s fabulous outfit was popular!

Thoroughly enjoyed my first swim at the West Reservoir of 2025

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.

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.

The Pink Dancers’ Winter Ball tonight was a lot of fun. Great people, great dancing, and some fabulous outfits.

Tonight’s show was Sasha Regan’s production of The Pirates of Penzance at Wilton’s Music Hall - my first time seeing the production since 2012. The cast and MD are fantastic, and it was a lot of fun.
