networking is an incredibly important part of maintaining a professional presence in your creative industry, but it can be daunting. have you tried being completely fucking ridiculous online

The glorious minds behind Simple Town chatted to The Guardian this week - oh oooh it's a good read. “We really believe in it… the work we’ve done together is the best work any of us has done.” You truly 'can’t keep a good sketch troupe down.' Check it out 👇 www.theguardian.com/stage/2026/m...

‘Four teens in their 30s!’ Lovable New York comedy gang Simple Town land in London

They wowed the Edinburgh fringe with whip-smart sketches about Nasa engineers and what their audience were thinking. Now the slacker troupe are back on stage – but a long way from TV screens

Greys Anatomy really winding me up with their empty coffee cup nonsense in the latest episode. Even the sound as they put them down, not just the waving them around wildly. Just pop a bit of water in them please I'm begging you.

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy

Something really satisfying about changing my own headlight bulbs in the Halfords car park, 2 bays over from a Halfords colleague fitting someone else's. He didn't realise I was racing him. I won.

About to spend the whole autumn touring and whilst excited for the new projects, slightly sad that I might miss out on my favourite season by being inside in the dark all the time 😂

Browsing the Fringe brochure and playing my favourite game of: Is this site specific listing actually site specific or is it just: A) outdoors B) in a church C) not in a traditional theatre D) underground (All of which are cool, just not necessarily site specific)

The sheer number of times I have applied/interviewed for a role and had to assume I haven't got it when the start date of the project passes. Even worse I've had companies approach me asking for CV & A/V and then never hear despite promising to reply within a week.

Shout out to my 2 favourite companies: Black+Blum and Sennheiser, for making products to be long lasting & letting you buy replacement bits rather than having to buy the item all over again. Also they're really high quality & work super well for a busy Stage Manager. I am not sponsored (wish I was).

Had a great time at Hat Factory Arts in Luton with The Little Prince. Our first new venue and it was fab. Lovely audiences, and convenientally a plane workshop before hand!

A photo of a stage play taken from a tech box. In the forefront of the photo you can see a sound panel and the top of a lighting desk. These frame a window throufh which you can see the back of some people's heads in darkness. They are watching a man in white standing on a white floor with dark lines drawn on it. He has his hands on his head in surprise. Behind him on the left is an L shaped blue cabinet with white doors. To the right a silver structure with white orbs on it.
