Last night I was again requested to perform at an owners Christmas event for their end of season party. It’s always a pleasure to be perform but when your specifically asked for by the manager its great. Only downside was the amount of mud I have to contend with

Great show tonight at Thorpe Park in Cleethorpes. I even had not one but two roadies to help with the loading in and out. It’s great when your daughter and nephew can be cheap labour 🤣

I thing I love about performing my show is the connection it has with individuals. If you have seen my show you will know there is lots of comedy, decent magic but also I share real experiences to connect the magic to the audience.
The best bit about performing is meeting people after the show.
Last night I met a beautiful young lady and her family who has had some illness challenges in her life. After the show this young lady (like myself) told me how when she went into hospital for a major operation she to learnt a magic trick. This helped her through a tough time and after seeing my show she was going to do the same again.
I can’t tell you how much this short conversation inspired and uplifted me. She clearly has wonderful parents and a great perspective on life.
Someone once said
“Magic is just a trick without connection” and this clearly true ❤️.
Have a great week everyone.

Another week on the road but this week I had my roadie with me for two days so we managed to squeeze in some fun too.
Tonight I had the pleasure of working a brand new (recently built) venue to a fantastic crowed and did lots of pictures with the audience after my show 🤣. What a blessing to have a job you love.

Nice little touch at tonight’s gig….. The name I mean not the throne. I always insist on a throne.

Amazing crowed tonight with lots of unexpected audience participation 🤣. I love it when the show takes a turn and we get to talk about dogs on the loose.
A little video after the show for you.

Those who are not aware as well as performing shows I run a fantastic theatre school in Grimsby for children 5 plus. We aim to teach children about the arts and build their confidence in a fun environment. We have a couple of workshops over the summer if you have children local to us and fancy a great time.

Every excited for this over the summer. Please share on your walls and with you friends and family.

When it’s sunny this area is outstanding. Had lots of fun at Weymouth Bay tonight.

Long drive today but very much worth it. A lovely crowd tonight with lots of amazing people up for a laugh.
Realised on the way I had left my shirt at home so had to wear one straight from the packet but that’s our little secret 🤫🤣.

All set ready for this fantastic night of variety at a beautiful theatre. Just a short 20 min from me in a fabulous 2 hour show.

Amazing two days in Scotland and Berwick. A chance to be a tourist in the good weather and then two great shows to boot.

Excited to be performing at this new venue tonight and not far from home which is always a bonus.

Just arrived after a very long drive. Time to take in this stunning view before my show at 8pm.

Back on the road and in beautiful Somerset. A little glimps into the glamour of backstage dressing cupboards.

A bank holiday Monday and a chance to practice a trick I’ve not put in my act yet.

Under the legs is a tricky one ( no pun intended…. Well, maybe a little).
Enjoy the sunshine ☀️

Great gig last night in Weymouth. Some really great DM’s after which I appreciate. One more tonight then it’s home to my girls.
Thanks to marc and the team @ L.D Agency

Not posted for a while although been on the road every week.
Just about to complete another week of gigs and last one is tonight in beautiful Cornwall. I will have driven 1100 miles since Monday, stayed in three hotel rooms and had a big clothing error ( which I only noticed after checking in 🤦‍♂️).
I can’t wait to be a home tomorrow for a Coronation party before another gig on Saturday.
Thanks to L.D Agency for making me appreciate the British road network 🤣

Wales is fab, especially if you love a matching house and car.

11/04/2023

Back on the road for another week of shows. Had a great show tonight in Haggerston. Now in a hotel with a tiny TV. That’s showbiz.
