CONGRATULATIONS to ALL nominees!
I’m thrilled to be nominated for the West Country Women Awards – Women in Education on Fri 19 Sept the semi-finalists are announced at Somerset County Cricket Club — if you’re there, come say hi! 👋
Huge thanks to everyone who’s trusted me to develop their writing and performing skills — and to stand up, be seen and heard, connect with an audience, and get them laughing.
I love bringing clowning, the courage to play with failure, and a real sense of freedom into the work. It has such transformative results — for confidence, communication, and wellbeing.Just as exciting is the Exmouth Chamber of Commerce Business Awards on Friday 26 September.
I am compèring and it’s going to be a such a special night. Many congratulations to all the nominees.
What’s coming up:
• Exmouth (Nov): New comedy workshops at Sideshore Hub, The Esplanade — build public-speaking skills, comedy confidence and warm your cockles.
