In one week’s time we’ll be launching a big Kickstarter appeal to take Backstage in Biscuit Land to the Fringe Festival.

We’ve been successful in getting an Unlimited award for the show, but this is just to help us with initial research and development, not to cover the costs of production, or taking it to Edinburgh.…

I’ve written before about ‘Backstage In Biscuit Land’, the show we’re putting on at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year. Now I’m delighted to announce that we’re going to be supported by a grant from Unlimited. This means we’ll be part of a programme run by two creative organisations, Shape and Artsadmin, who commission and develop new work by disabled artists.…

Happy April Fools Day! But before the annual antics begin I need your attention for a minute.

There are just twelve days to go until We Forgot The Lot!, and for the Touretteshero team that means there’s no time to fool about.…

We Forgot The Lot!, our big inclusive event at Tate Britain on April 12th, is fast approaching. I’m delighted to announce that thanks to the generosity of children’s charity Daytrippers there will be four buses to and from the event from outside London.…

Today’s a landmark on the road to something very exciting that’s going to happen later in the year – this morning Leftwing Idiot and I registered a show for the 2014 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It’s not just any old show, it’s a Touretteshero show and it’ll be called Backstage in Biscuit Land.…

At the end of last month I shared the final installment of my World of the Zodiac tic-inspired prediction videos on YouTube, and in case you somehow missed them, you can watch all 12 here.

Just like a fish, time has darted by, which is why my last World of the Zodiac video is a couple of days late. I can’t believe it’s a year since we first recorded these tic-enriched predictions.

Pisces, you’ve had the longest wait and I’m confident you won’t be disappointed, so without further delay here’s your video:

I hope that was insightful.…

As regular readers will know, there’s been a bit of a backlog with my pigs (the pig shaped rubber dog toys I’m given by the Pig Fairy to mark a day without a ticcing fit).

I wrote last week about the arrival of the amazing Disco Pig but noted I was still expecting both 18th Century Pig and Grey Pig.…

Let’s not beat about the bush – there’s only one thing right now that can make January bearable and that’s my penultimate tic-enriched, World of the Zodiac horoscope!

Aquarians, you’ve waited patiently and stood by as almost all the other star signs have had their turn – you’ve been adrift for months without proper guidance.…

So far much of what I’ve written this year has been pretty serious stuff, mostly about the sudden dystonia that developed in my hands on Boxing Day. The last few weeks have been difficult, painful and sad.

Today, by contrast, was full of creativity, joy and laughter.…
