I’ve been on holiday in Spain with Fran for almost a week now. Tomorrow will be our last day and naturally my mind’s started to shift to life back home, particularly the week ahead. When I looked at my support schedule it was worryingly empty, with many of my regular team either away, busy, or moving on.…
A few weeks ago I went to speak at a National Trust event in Derby, which turned out to be a really interesting experience. Unexpectedly I also got to indulge one of my biggest passions – talking about wheelchairs.
The event was for National Trust employees from all over the UK.…

The Internet’s full of distractions, from cute cat videos to nostalgic quizzes.
Last night I saw an alternative pain scale that made me laugh – someone had used works of art to replace the usual 1-10 of pain.
I liked this but despite being an artist myself I couldn’t fully relate to all the images, so I created my own alternative version… with stars of ‘80s and ‘90s cartoons!…
It’s been a beautifully sunny Sunday. I’ve been hanging out with Erik, who’s a friend and the part of the Touretteshero team.
Fat Sister, King Russell and their little Squidge came round for a couple of hours, while Leftwing Idiot was sunbathing in the garden.…
I studied drawing at art college and really got into mapping the world around me in various ways. I was particularly interested in how objects, people and spaces connect.
I’ve been in a lot of pain today so I’ve stayed in bed and taken it very easy.…
While touring our show Backstage In Biscuit Land a couple of years ago I had a difficult experience at a comedy festival. I wrote about it here and have thought about it on and off since.
At almost exactly the same time, I was asked to do some stand-up for the Unlimited Festival – a biennial celebration of Disability Arts and Culture at the Southbank Centre in London.…
Dear Jacqueline Wilson,
I’ve got a confession to make: I, a thirty-seven-year-old woman, spent the Easter weekend watching the CBBC adaptation of your book Katy (a retelling of the What Katy Did stories). I’m sure I’m not the only adult who enjoys your writing – who wouldn’t love your vibrant, believable characters who speak directly to us about their lives and worries?…
Joyce was supporting me today and we got chatting about theatre. She’s not a regular-theatre goer but she did come to the Brewing In The Basement cabaret night we held at The Barbican Centre last November.
Joyce, who’s Jamaican, said she was keen to go to the theatre again, and I remembered there’s a new show at the National Theatre about the Jamaican tradition of Nine Night.…
Eight years ago to the month, Leftwing Idiot and I started Touretteshero. We’d been friends for many years and he’d provided me with vital support when my tics intensified. At times adjusting to them was tough – I found it hard to talk about without tears and I used to put a lot of effort into stopping my wiggly body making me stand out.…
