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 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 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.

It’s this stunner’s birthday today. Unfathomab

It’s this stunner’s birthday today. Unfathomably, he’s 44.
I have a friend in America who goes to town on the socials when it’s his birthday. I’ve always been the opposite. I do admire him. He’s so... American. I on the other hand am so… British.
I think, over here, we’re often actively encouraged not to take up space; not to celebrate oneself; not to announce oneself to the world. But why the frig not?! Can’t wait around for others to do it. I think it’s actually more egotistical to believe that you don’t deserve attention. We all deserve it. What makes you so special?! We could learn a lot from the Americans. So, it’s my birthday. 🎉

I do find birthdays strange. They’re both magical and a trifle sad, I find. Mostly though, I find I walk around feeling as if I’ve got a special secret, wondering why everyone is walking past me as if it were just a normal day. For example, the ticket inspector just asked me for my ticket. On my birthday! Humbling, n’est-ce pas?
I think we should just start wishing Happy Birthday to total strangers on the street. By the law of averages we’re bound to strike gold at some point.
Anyway, back to ME. It’s MY birthday (and Maggie Thatcher’s, but let’s not talk about THAT; move along, people!) and I’m doing ok. Every year is better than the last. I’m closer to where I wanna be. I’ll get there one day, I’ve no doubt (well, some days I doubt). And when I do get there, I’ll want to be someone else, ‘cos that’s life, that is, think on’t.
New adventures start next week. And for that I am grateful. And thrilled. And proud. For now, that’s enough.

Happy Birthday to all my fellow Librans. What a gorgeous breed we are. 💗💗💗💗💗

I grew up under Section 28. I actually fell for that shit. I’m still flushing out some of the residual bile, tbh. It’s kind of a daily practice. But I’m not falling for any more of their crap again.
To be clear, trans lives (more than) matter.

Guess who’s off to Paris! Go on, guess! It’s fun! Go on, just guess!!!

Trilled and daffy to be doing this funny, funny and funny show in a production helmed by a team of giants in a passably attractive city in one of the most beautiful venues there is.
If you’re in Paris over the winter, come see us. It’s gonna be a HOOT!
