It’s Christmas Eve and I’m full of excitement. This is partly because I’ve got three days of relaxing and eating ahead of me, and partly because it’s time to share another festive video with you.
Tic-driven Christmas messages have become a Touretteshero tradition, and this year Father Ticmas has got in on the act.…
As soon as I woke this morning I said “Good morning, December”, quickly followed by “You’re the travelator to Christmas.”
November’s only been gone for a few hours, but there’s no doubt that things are getting festive. Across the land doors on advent calendars are opening, emotive adverts are jostling for space between TV shows, thousands of Christmas trees are loitering on street corners looking for a home – and my #dailyoutburst has became a #festiveoutburst – look out for seasonal tics right up to the big day.…
I can’t quite believe it’s actually happened. Yesterday the vision and skills of many, many people came together to culminate in our Broadcast From Biscuit Land on BBC4.
We’ve been on an incredible journey, brilliantly supported by our friends from Battersea Arts Centre and the BBC.…
In the five years since co-founding Touretteshero I’ve had the chance to do some incredible things I’d never have dreamt possible.
But today we’re about to do something on a totally different scale. I’m terrified, excited and very, very proud to be part of the team that’s making this happen.…
Happy 5th of November! It is of course Fireworks Night, and people across the country will be celebrating the foiling of Guy Fawkes’ plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605.
Since I was a kid I’ve felt conflicted about this night – it’s both one of my favourite celebrations and one of my worst nightmares.…
I managed to get through the whole of Halloween without dressing up or putting on any terrifying make-up, but then this afternoon I ended up in an outfit scarier than anything I could’ve dreamt up!
The reason? A photo-shoot for our Broadcast From Biscuit Land, which will air live on BBC 4 on Sunday 15th November.…
In exactly one month’s time I’m going to be giving one of the most challenging performances of my life.
On November 15th we’ll be one of five companies taking part in Live From Television Centre, a night curated by the Battersea Arts Centre on BBC 4, celebrating live performance and independent theatre.…
Yesterday was National Poetry Day. The second poem I ever learnt by heart was about peas:
‘I eat my peas with honey;
I’ve done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny,
But it keeps them on the knife.’…
Our last performance of Backstage in Biscuit Land at the Barbican took place last Saturday and then we sadly said goodbye to this great venue.
It was a beautiful sunny day so I took the opportunity to be outside while I could.…
It’s late, I’m exhausted, but I’m happy. Tonight Backstage In Biscuit Land opened at the Barbican’s Pit Theatre. The Barbican Centre has been part of my life since I was tiny. In fact I was born at Bart’s Hospital, which is pretty much in it’s it shadow.…
