Kool Story Bro is at Pleasance Courtyard from 15-22 August and features the one and only Kiell Smith-Bynoe plus some of his very funny friends. An improv show that will definitely change every night with a new surprise guest.

Simple Town is at Pleasance Courtyard from 11th - 24th. All the way from the USA a sketch show from a group that I was told "has had a few viral videos". Promises to be funny.

Last Rites will be at Pleasance Courtyard for the last week of Fringe as part of the Here & Now showcase. Having toured with it earlier this year it still makes me laugh and cry every show. Cleverest physical storytelling I've seen.

A theatre poster featuring 3 images of the same man imposed over the top of each other. In 2 of the images he has his arms in the air and appears to be falling. In the third central image he is still but looking into the distance. Text in the top left corner reads "3:50pm 18-24th" text in the bottom middle reads "ad infinitum presents Last Rites" above that text to the left is a yellow logo for pleasance courtyard venues and above to the right is a pink logo for the here and now showcase.

The Little Prince will be in Pleasance Courtyard for the whole month. It's a real gem of a show and will make you feel very warm inside. At midday it's a perfect hangover cure, gentle and not too early but very whimsical and joyful.

Text in the top left reads The Little Prince but the I in prince has been replaced by a tall crown. In the bottom left text reads "12 noon, 30 july - 25 august". Beneath it is a logo for pleasance courtyard venue.

Today's lunchtime finish meant a visit to a vintage book store and a walk along a very windy coastal path. Big thumbs up for St Helens
A picture of a book shop with wooden floors and floor to ceiling shelves. All the books look aged and most are hardback. Brown paper tags sit on the front of shelves labelling the genres. A narrow tarmac path proceeds away from the camera with a grassy verge on either side of it. This sits above the sea which looks choppy. The sky is overcast and along the horizon there are sand dunes which the path leads towards.

Finishing school shows at lunchtime means a little wander around the village for me, complete with extraordinary vanilla milkshake. Brighstone is beautiful.
A picture of an enormous oak tree with branches sprawled out all over the place. The sun is behind it and casting shadows on the ground. A tall glass containing a milkshake topped with whipped cream, a flake and a red and white paper straw.

I haven't been working for the past 2 weeks and it has allowed me some gorgeous restful moments which were well needed. This was the highlight of yesterday.
A golden retriever lies on its side on some grass. The arm of the photographer reaches out from behind the camera and is resting on the dog's back. The dog has its eyes closed and one paw slightly up in the air.

Had a great time at Hat Factory Arts in Luton with The Little Prince. Our first new venue and it was fab. Lovely audiences, and convenientally a plane workshop before hand!
A photo of a stage play taken from a tech box. In the forefront of the photo you can see a sound panel and the top of a lighting desk. These frame a window throufh which you can see the back of some people's heads in darkness. They are watching a man in white standing on a white floor with dark lines drawn on it. He has his hands on his head in surprise. Behind him on the left is an L shaped blue cabinet with white doors. To the right a silver structure with white orbs on it.

Back at the Egg with The Little Prince before we head off to Luton & Cambridge. It's a real treat to get to do this show again, it's magical every time.
A photograph of a play. On the left a man kneels behind a cabinet staring at an illuminated globe that looks like the earth. Further along the cabinet, to the right of the photo are a small plant pot with a flower, an artist's caddy, an angle poise lamp and two plain illuminated globes. In the background some lines of light break up the darkness.

When you have a fight with a flight case in a get out and the flight case wins... (I am fine)
A leg in black trousers is resting on a white chair with a white ice pack sitting just below the knee. The photo is taken by the person whose leg it is. Behind the leg is a small silver case and a gel frame, suggesting a theatre location. A photo of a bare leg with a large purple bruise covering most of the shin. Red plaid trousers have been rolled up to show the leg and the person is wearing light blue socks. They are standing on a carpeted floor. The bruise is large at the top, roughly hand sized and in the middle has a dark red patch where the skin has split. The bruising continues down towards the ankle.

Hello south west network. Chalk Line Theatre, who I have had the honour of working with and so can testify to their excellence, are bringing their new show to Bristol Old Vic in July. It would be foolish to miss it and I'll be there. You can join me and book too: bristololdvic.org.uk/whats-on/the...
A photograph of a play. Two young men stand in front of a brick wall, both looking angry and at the camera. A young woman stands on the wall holding a golden balloon. They are all lit from behind in red.

Tour life when my camera reel is filled with pictures like this
A silver reflective floor has a black piece of metal on it with a screw sticking out. A photo of a computer screen that has several columns of numbers. It is lighting patching. A blue crate is open to show a stack of white gaffer tape.

Crap at Animals with Mechanimal.
At distance Production Manager.

A wild little show that I packed off and watched flourish. Getting that list of animal names printed was a palava but worth it.
A bald man wearing a black wetsuit and black VR headset is slightly crouched on the left. Behind him is a large screen with the words "bali tiger" on. There is grass and some shadows cast on the screen. White material with lots of animal names in different languages printed on it. A man with an unkempt beard, wearing a backwards cap and a shirt with colourful parrots all over it. He has his mouth open in a surprised manner and is holding his hands up in a manner reminiscent of someone pretending to be a dinosaur.

Confetti with Quick Duck Theatre.
Touring Feb - April.

I love doing shows with Will and I love going to little village halls and discovering quirks. And flexing my lighting design skills and whatever Will has decided to break this time!
A man in a red velvet jacket wearing a phone headset stares into the distance as gold confetti falls all around him. To his left is a wheeled cart fronted in green velvet. On top of it is a small pot of flowers and a small white lantern. A man in a pink formal shirt looks off camera. He is sat at a wooden counter and holding a book that has stickers on it reading "helen's dream wedding" as well as hearts and flowers. He's smiling slightly. A man in a pink button down shirt holds a red rose out towards the camera. He has a flirty expression.

Igloo with Travelling Light.
Touring Jan & Feb.

My memories of this show are 90% joy, laughter and a warm and welcoming team.

5% a leaky roof and running round with buckets.

5% "do I really have to touch the ribbon that was just in a baby's mouth?"
2 women sit back to back on a red cushion, one faces towards the camera, one away. Around them is a green carpet covered in gold confetti that is still falling as one of the women blows some out of her hands. At the front and back of the picture are pink and yellow ribbons hanging down from the ceiling. Right at the back of the image is a row of people seated on a bench, adults with babies, who form an audience. Two women stand on circular fabric mats made of knotted green, yellow and red fabrics. They are facing left but looking at each other in a mischievious way. Both are wearing a white bobble hat and long white knitted scarf wrapped around their necks twice. The mats are on a green carpet and behind the women is a big red cushion. Two women sit back to back on a large red cushion but are turned to look at each other. They are both clutching white bobble hats and looking excited. In front of the cushion is a white knitted scarf, folded over on itself. Surrounded the cushion are circular fabric mats made of knotted green, yellow and red material. 7 women stand in a line with their arms round each other smiling at the camera. They are all in socks, standing on a green carpet. Behind them are large bundles of yellow and pink ribbons handing from a metal frame and some green benches arranged in a circle.

This is my favourite vibe from the show
A dark picture framed by the silhoutte of a metal gantry with theatre lights hanging below it. Behind that is a red floor with confetti on it and a couple of orange lights. It is hard to make out anything else as the space is hazy and the light levels are low.

My daily view
A script open on a red desk. To the right of it is an open notebook with a pencil resting on it. Above them to the left is a comms headset, to the right is a redbull on a coaster. There is a dim lamp lighting this.

Catching those tech break naps
A woman in blue jeans and a black fleece is lying on her side, seemingly asleep. She is lying on a red astroturf underneath a scaffolding platform. It is a theatre space.

A picture of a script inside a red folder. A pencil is resting on one page of the script and cues have been written in. Behind the folder is a laptop with cues on the screen. Both of these are on a wooden table.
