Harry Clayton-Wright gives Frank Peschier a tour of his hometown – and explains why it's the perfect setting for an end-of-the-pier apocalyptic extravaganza
Blackpool gets 21 million visitors a year – so why is a show about it 'too regional'?

Gorgeous piece from @hclaytonwright.bsky.social in the Graun today www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...
I saw Liza Minnelli’s performance on the Muppet Show – and was inspired to become a drag star
A late-night viewing of the Cabaret star’s appearance with Kermit and co set me on the path to the West End. I even have a tattoo of her on my thigh!

A favourite Boxing Day morning tradition: Read a book in the bath. Simple pleasure.
That time I went to Leeds and took this photograph but never posted it here and other people seemed to like it so now I’m gonna post it here too. Happy Boxing Day to you all!

Mr Blackpool’s Seaside Spectacular, an end of the pier show at the end of the world… 6th November, Northern Stage, presented with Curious Arts. 8th November, Southbank Centre. Commissioned by @marlboroughprods.bsky.social and @attenboroughctr.bsky.social. Supported by Arts Council England.
Now the proud owner of this beautiful, pre-loved, second hand leather outfit from Berlin. You can, and most certainly should, call me Daddy. Holidays are fun.
one thing about me is that I’m gonna take this exact same photo in every hotel bathroom I find myself in

Banal update but honestly finding the trains so unreliable these days that coach journeys are just really doing it for me. Way cheaper too. Sure, they take a little longer, but I just have nana nap. Removes the worry about freezing on platforms while multiple services cancel again and again.
Squeal! This is gonna be a lot of fun 🎢🚨💕

we all made fun of Charlotte for pretending to be Welsh, but she's playing the long game in all-but-guaranteeing herself a six-part series for BBC Wales where she gets to discover the real Wales #TheTraitors
Blackpool has always been on my radar (I love amusement parks), but now it’s REALLY on my radar. 🤡 🎢 🌊 🪩
