Is this a Dagger I see before me?

It's just a small, stabbing pain

We’re here a day late, I was writing and partying and also hungover. Apologies x

Mainly, I was preparing for Club Wormhole’s panto- Macbeth The Scottish Panto. I played two whole parts, very important, I was The Dagger and Lead Tree. I was very insistent on this, especially Lead Tree.

I was also drinking in goodbye to The Clown Lee Kennedy, who is not dead, but simply moving to London which is worse. Lee and Rosa are the founders and organisers of Club Wormhole, which I’m endlessly grateful for. I wish him well and a Merry Pls-Come-Back.

We had Macbeth and Banquo as yearning lovers, Mcduff as Buttons, Lady Macbeth as the dame, Banquo’s ghost as a pantomime horse, just the one Wicked Witch, and Lee as All The Corpses (re:moving to London).

I delight in making large cardboard costumes and props, it delights the child inside of me. When I was little I was called the sello-tape kid because I got through so much of the stuff, and now I’m helping at my grandparents house I keep finding tape around table and chair legs that’s been there for 20 years or more. One of many things I’m glad Wormhole has given me the chance to get back, and one of the many reasons I need to learn to drive. No props on the train- a good rule to live by.

I’m privileged enough to have ancestral cardboard wealth- that is my girlfriend bought a load of office furniture on Amazon over a year ago and didn’t throw away any of the big, huge, or large cardboard boxes they arrived in. The office is also a large space with a high ceiling- one of the reasons I’m eternally surprised when I can’t fit through doors at shows. Luckily, the lack of foresight works in my favour.

The Dagger is one-half of a whiteboard box cut into a dagger shape with aluminium foil glued to it. The construction was quick but epic, and only took a box of foil which I was very impressed with.

How does a Dagger kill by strangulation?

People really loved it, and I’m so glad. There was such a roar when I came onstage from the gorgeous and slightly insane audience. They also chanted for the dagger in our headliner, Sean Moreley’s set which was 1) ego flattering 2) slightly mortifying- upstaging the headliner with a silly costume I knocked up 2 days before is Not How It’s Done.

I did a Self-Portrait

It was just a really lovely and very silly show. Wormhole are back in February, do book tickets <3
