As heard on BBC London, la di da!

I went on the radio today! What fun it was! I was there to talk about my work with NCT (National Childbirth Trust), which is one of many ‘day jobs’ that run alongside my comedy career. I was hoping that I might be able to shoehorn in that I also do comedy and have aContinue reading “As heard on BBC London, la di da!”

Beginnings. And endings.

I wrote a whole blog today, plugging my Edinburgh show. I should probably publish it after this one. I wrote that one because I felt I should, and I’m writing this one because I can’t help myself. Trigger warning. This may not be for you if you’re feeling sad today. And if you are feelingContinue reading “Beginnings. And endings.”

I saw a dragon!

So my last blog was about morning pages, and how brilliant I’ve been finding them. Two months now, and I’m still doing them and they’re reminding me of when I was on anti-depressants. I remember the first time I took fluoxetine, after a couple of months I thought ‘I don’t need these, I feel like myself again,Continue reading “I saw a dragon!”

This blog will change not your life! Don’t fall for that clickbait bullshit…

I had Covid in September. And after the physical fatigue s-l-o-w-l-y started to go, I felt low. Really down. And it continued for three months. Eventually I had to do something about it. I started writing pages in early December. I’m doing them wrong, I think, but that’s ok. If you don’t know about them, here’s Julia to explain… https://juliacameronlive.com/basic-tools/morning-pages/ TheContinue reading “This blog will change not your life!

Smug alert: pleased with myself

Part of (one of) my day job(s) is teaching informed decision making within NHS services. Facilitating discussions about people’s rights when talking with medical staff. Understanding their options, being assertive if necessary, working with caregivers to get the right information, help and treatment for their needs. It’s very important, especially with the horrible state of the NHS,Continue reading “Smug alert: pleased with myself”

Covid Schmovid

Blimey Charlie, I haven’t blogged for EVER. In my defence, there’s been a lot. A LOT. Close friend in hospital (love you Faye), kids in & out of the house (THEY DON’T RESPECT THE EMPTY NEST, THE BUGGERS) and on top of it all, for the very first time, Covid. Coronavirus. Covid 19. The thingContinue reading “Covid Schmovid”

Open Mic Comedy (cont)

(Me ‘n’ Sofie with a colleague, some months later…) (Turns out I can only post once a day, so had to leave you hanging, sorry!) Yes! Here it is! Hi Sofie I was the weird fangirl who came and shook your hand at the open mic tonight. Would love to have talked to youContinue reading “Open Mic Comedy (cont)”

Open Mic Comedy

I just celebrated my 8-year comedy anniversary. 8 years since I stepped onto the stage at Comedy Virgins and announced ‘I’m a comedy virgin! But I’m not a virgin virgin!’ I like to think my writing has improved since. For the first 4 years or so, I traipsed around the London open mic scene, notchingContinue reading “Open Mic Comedy”

Murderous

I got in at 1.45 last night and it’s 9.15 and I’m already at my desk. What a fecking queen. I deserve a medal. I got in late from my gig because WHY LEAVE THE M1 FUNCTIONING AT NIGHT EVER EVER EVER??? Ever? EVER? Like, one single time? Imagine if comedians looked at the mapsContinue reading “Murderous”

Frustrated of Finchley

So since I last blogged, I’ve been sitting with this whole ADHD thing and coming to terms with it. I definitely spent a couple of weeks grieving (not sure what for, but I guess the idea of myself as ‘normal’ or some such crap). I crashed pretty hard mentally and my inner voice got veryContinue reading “Frustrated of Finchley”
