Last weekend marked the end of the run of Caryl Churchill's 'Top Girls' at the Progress Theatre, Reading. I've never had the chance to see a play at this theatre so was very excited, since I'd heard amazing things, and knowing someone that I can already vouch for being extremely talented was in the production…

glitter-room-tour: Katherine Ryan’s live comedy tour (REVIEW)

I have always been a fan of comedians, but I particularly fell into re-runs in my teen years. I remember, as a kid I would watch 'Mock The Week' over my dad's shoulder when I probably should have been in bed, or laugh at the jokes I could hear from my room, and I loved…

My 2018: What I’m looking forward to

From the bottom of my heart I can tell you this: I don't know if 2018 is going to be a good year. Heck, 2017 was hell so I haven't got my hopes up. However, I have already got a few landmark events which I know are going to be wonderful. They truly are what,…

‘Cause Finding Wonderland means going home again…

Yesterday, I was going about my day as any other by singing some of the songs from my favourite musicals and Disney films to myself. when I had a short moment of confidence and decided to record 'Finding Wonderland' from Wonderland: The Musical.

Maybe This Night Is Our Last Night Together, However… (In The Heights Closing, 2017)

This isn't a review, nor anything similar, it's just a reflection.

I’ve got a golden ticket.

I couldn't help but mentally sing whilst typing the above title, since it relates to one of my favourite childhood books, which was also one of my favourite childhood musicals. By 'I've got a golden ticket' it doesn't mean I literally have a golden ticket, nor is this post related at all to 'Charlie and the Chocolate…
