Got to tell Ed all about dressage, think I really made a difference to the nation. Anyway, the podcast's out on Monday so give it a listen.
September 6th 2018: I recorded a number for Nick Helm's new album. It finally allowed me to find a use for my "creepy child" voice. More to come on that...
August 31st 2018: That's Edinburgh done for another year! Best reception I've ever had for a show and even got enough shiny pennies to treat myself to a Pret wrap on the way home. Super Sonic 90s Kid was super well-attended and well-received and Jonny Woo's All-Star Brexit Cabaret played to full houses of 200 almost every day of the run. Also got to do a small bit every day in Luke McQueen's show which was always a blast. Having attended all his previous shows multiple times it's nice to know that eventually you can Stockholm Syndrome a comedian in to putting you in their show.
