Very excited about my gigs this week commencing tomorrow evening (1st may) with FUNNY FILLIES at the hope and anchor in islington (not the “open anchor”, which is what i thought it was called for years…) Then friday 4th, joy of joys, i’m performing alongside the wonderful John Hegley; poet and spectacle-wearer extraordinaire at the cockpit theatre in st johns wood. Where better to finish off the week and start the bank holiday than brighton?…two gigs on sunday evening, both at the glorious komedia on gardener street…BENT DOUBLE at 8pm and FUNNY WOMEN at 10pm. Splendid! xxx

Tonight I’m so looking forward to finally doing a gig at The Kings Head in Crouch End. It’s practically home turf and I’ve been wanting to perform in this prestigious venue for years. Come on down and let’s have a right old laff xxx

Wow!! Sunday sundae is back and we’re loving it!! What a great day yesterday with fabulous comedy from Julie Jepson and Hannah Brackenbury and hilarious improvisation from The Short & Girlie Show. The cupcakes looked and tasted gorgeous and the hot pork baps were the perfect accompaniment to a pint of cider. (The only drink to drink while listening to the skiffelly gloriousness of One Eyed Wayne.)

We all had such a nice time that we’re doing it all again next month….and the first sunday of the month thereafter until the end of time…contact sunshinesounds@hotmail.com for more details or if you are a comedian/band and would like to perform.

Sunday sundae. So good to you. See you there x

Yesterday was truly an amazing day. At the THRIVE 2012 Conference from Women Unlimited I was privileged to perform to 200 of the UK’s brightest and most inspiring business women and got to promote my own creative workshops to boot! Those of you who would like to come into the woods (you know you do, and you know who you are!) should contact sunshinesounds@hotmail.com to book your place on the weekend 27 – 29th April, or 15 – 17th June. Days by the sea in April are the 14th and 21st and there are various other workshops in London and Brighton on Tuesdays and Saturdays…or indeed any other day you’d care to book!!

After a very civilised ‘networking’ glass of wine or two it was down to The Bedford in Balham. I’ve wanted to do a comedy gig in this huge, beautiful rambling labyrinth of oak panelled rooms for as long as I can remember and this has to go down in history as one of the best gigs ever!! A fabulous all female line up in a great space packed to standing room only with lovely, gorgeous, eclectic, intelligent, attentive comedy lovers. All there to support women in comedy and Amnesty International. Does it get better than that? Approximately £2k was raised on the night so bloody well done you lot and thank you to every one who came up to me and said something nice! x

Can it be Women’s Day every day please? xxx
