This time last year Touretteshero turned five, and we promised to invite you to a big birthday party to celebrate. But then things got busy in Biscuit Land and we found ourselves ushering in the New Year without so much as a biscuit, let alone a cake.…

Today is International Disabled People’s Day (well, actually it’s called: International Day of Persons with Disabilities, formerly known as International Day of Disabled Persons), a UN-initiated day of awareness around disability issues.

A couple of years ago comedian Mark Thomas challenged himself to do 100 acts of minor dissent over the course of a year.…

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.…

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.
