Oh, hey there! Did you hear that I’m back at @cr

Little throwback from July. We open the doors agai

Little throwback from July. We open the doors again in less than a fortnight.
Back at my favourite @crazycoqs each month from SUNDAY 18th FEBRUARY!
You’d better be there! Tickets available in the link oop there.

Oof, the tears were shed and the sleep was barely

Oof, the tears were shed and the sleep was barely slept. But Paris, I leave you content.

I really have fallen for you, ya know! Not in a head over heels way; but in a simple, quiet, eeeeasy way.

What to say about you? I can’t find the words right now. Paris really is as beautiful as the songs say it is. I shall miss its streets; its shuttered windows and Juliet balconies. I’ll miss les portes bleues. Beaucoup de portes bleues! I shall miss the glacial pace of life (streuth, half the Christmas decorations are still up; and in the Marais they’re still playing carols in the supermarkets). I shall miss the beautiful language (and the respect that is entrenched within it) but I shall keep practising. I promise! I shall reeeally miss salted caramel gluten-free waffles with Chantilly crème végétale; AND my weekly trips to Chambelland in Oberkampf (gluten-free seekers, add it to the top of your list)! But mostly, I shall miss the incredible people who for three months have showed me daily kindness. DAILY kindness!
THANK YOU!🙏
Mary Poppins taught me long ago that there is no goodbye, only au revoir. So, until then… 💜🎈

But for now, the lights are on green. En avant!

Une dernière fois. 😭 @lidoparis

I do a show. It goes well. I leave it all on stage

I do a show. It goes well. I leave it all on stage. Great audience. Great night.
Later on, there’s a knock at my dressing room door. I open it and there she is: Chita Rivera. And she’s smiling that smile. She comes in and says the loveliest things about my performance. The end.

That never actually happened but I dreamt about it happening more times than I can tell you. I just wanted to impress the performer who impressed me the most.

I genuinely thought she’d be at it till she passed 100. She has (had) that huge appetite for life which seemed to radiate through every pore. Can you learn to have that much love, that much light; or are you just born with it? I don’t know. I just know that I wanna be like her when I grow up.

Thank you, Chita. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Working on a production of ‘A Funny Thing Happen

Working on a production of ‘A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum’ means I frequently fall down Zero Mostel-lined rabbit holes. This is a gold nugget from the great man talking with Dick Cavett.

If you’re in Paris, drop by the Champs-Élysées and see 30 foot me! Better yet, come see the show @lidoparis. We’re playing till February 4th and it’s a RIOT!

I just thought I'd show y'all where I'm working. Thoughts and prayers at this difficult time, etc. @lidoparis.

On Friday, this grinning fool made his French debut (I’m international now, baby)! FUN in capitals was had! The great and the good were in attendance. As I looked out during the curtain call, I spotted James Thiérrée and nearly lost my sang-froid.
Yesterday, I sang on French radio. It was actually filmed as well in front of an audience. There’s a video link floating around somewhere. You could ask me for it but I’ve no clue where it is.
And today, I had my first ever gluten-free waffle (with lactose-free cream).
I have a feeling that Paris and I have the hots for each other. Sparks are flying. Watch this space. 💋

Worst kept secret ever! Dappy, Daphne and DELIGHTE

Worst kept secret ever!
Dappy, Daphne and DELIGHTED to tell y’all that I’m playing Hysterium in the (long overdue) French debut of ‘A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum’. What’s more, it’s at the newly opened @lidoparis which is frankly a STUNNER! Opening night tomorrow and we’re here until February 4th. Hop a freight, grab a train, etc. Just get here! It’s a RIOT!

2024 will be bigger and better. We’re moving to Sundays. Earlier show start (7.30pm) which means a longer show and an interval. Heck, I might even chuck in a costume change. More to announce in time. But for now, we’re ON SALE!

Not sure how it’s come to this, but I’ve only

Not sure how it’s come to this, but I’ve only just this weekend discovered that in addition to regularly singing the songs from ‘Stop the World - I Want to Get Off’, Sammy Davis Backphrashing Jr. also led a 30 performance Lincoln Center revival in 1978 which was later adapted for TV. 😱 SHOOK. ETH.
Here’s the great man singing the great song (from Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse). The torrent that erupts from that tiny frame is something else.

I don’t really go for Halloween but I absolutely

I don’t really go for Halloween but I absolutely do believe in the beauty of this photo, featuring yours truly and @_alexmaynard @crazycoqs this week.
Happy Weekend, gays and ghouls. 💋

Streuth, last night was FUN! @ada.campe and @trace

Streuth, last night was FUN! @ada.campe and @traceycollinsss (aka Shell Suit Cher) made me hoarse with laughter. You try singing after that!
Thanks to everyone who came out to play. What an utter dream you were, especially Ben, Jackie and Jesus Christ, herself (Happy Birthday, btw!)! Can we do it again, pleeeease?!
The first few pics will give you a good idea of what it was like sharing a dressing room with these loons. The last pic is… concerning.
Thanks as ever to my dreamboys, @_alexmaynard & @tbutlerdrums. Wind beneath my wings, etc. No, but really!
We’ll be back in February but for now Paris is calling. Someone’s gotta do it! 💖💖💖

Even the orchestra is beautiful! @tbutlerdrums &

Even the orchestra is beautiful!
@tbutlerdrums & @_alexmaynard creating a beautiful racket. They’ll be doing it again THIS Thursday @crazycoqs. Come on down!

Et donc, cela commence! Jour un.
