Comedy writer. Debut novel / screenplays in progress. Standup comedy too. 😀 Just having a laugh really. Rep: WGM Atlantic www.valtroy.com
Chatting to a pal yesterday and her wish for Mother’s Day was “a cup of tea & leave me alone.” Be honest, who can relate? 😂

I had such a lovely chat with Siobhan Daniels on her podcast Retirement Rebel. We talk about comedy & the need to make space for older witty voices & more besides. We could talk all day tbh 😆 Have a listen. 🙏

Just finished this. IMO the best @samblakebooks.bsky.social novel yet. No wonder it’s No. 1 in the charts this week. 5⭐️

My thought for the day - Hot water bottles are underrated. 🥶 As you were.

January wouldn’t be January without a new @samblakebooks.bsky.social novel 📚
Just realised I haven't changed my header to new book coming out in LESS than a week!! In the unlikely event you missed it, The Killing Sense is set in Paris and features perfume & a killer obsessed with red heads. And a woman called Kate, with red hair...photo = insta post by a WONDERFUL reader ❤️

I feel like the only person on earth who has never watched Gavin & Stacey. Not a clue what all the fuss is about 🤷‍♀️

I overheard a woman reading out her Christmas food shopping list. “Calpol, beer & sweet chilli sauce.”Sounds like a party 😆

I’ve had two incidences recently of what I shall call, hormonal rage.

Not gonna lie…I quite enjoyed it 😃 Just me?

Thrilled to bits to introduce @barbarascully.bsky.social last night at her sold out show Older, Bolder, Wiser.

Honestly, the show is a tonic. Get to see it if you can in 2025. 🤩
The best wing women supporting me last night at my One Woman Show in the Talbot Hotel, Stillorgan. My eldest & youngest daughters and my comedy sisters @orladiamantino.bsky.social @valtroy.bsky.social
So grateful to them and all who came along last night. I’m still buzzin’
