What’s Happening Summer 2012

I’m back!

The tour of All the Single Ladies (by the brilliant Abigail Burdess) is done. I’m no longer living out of a suitcase or sitting in a train corridor, by the loo, because Virgin Trains have forgotten to update the reservations displays or have a working system. So that’s good. That said, I do miss seeing bits of England that I wouldn’t ordinarily see and that I thought might just be makey-uppy: turns out Wimborne is real! Who knew?

So I’m trying to catch up on all the writing and admin I should have been doing during the tour.

But THEN it looks like THIS:

I’ll be joining my old Alma Mater Dublin Comedy Improv for 4 shows: Mondays June 4 & 11 and July 2 & 9.

July 7Swift Satire Festival, Trim Castle. Very excited about this festival. I always knew I’d end up in a castle and my time has finally come. Until I make it into Game of Thrones, this will have to do. For details of the awesome lineup, check the new website here.

July 12Kinsale Arts Festival. Solo Show. Details and bookings here.

July 20 – 29 Molly Wobbly’s Tit Factory at Lyric Theatre, Belfast

August 1 – 26 Molly Wobbly’s Tit Factory at Edinburgh Festival Fringe

Molly Wobbly’s Tit Factory is a brand new musical by Paul Boyd (who arranged and performed the backing track of The Fog… for me. Clip here). We did a staged concert of Molly last September (you may recall me banging on about it ad nauseum – look forward to more of that) and it was one of the most fun things I’ve ever done. The audiences had a blast at this show and – even though I’m in it – I’m jealous of them. They really are in for a bit of a treat. It’s Desperate Housewives meets Willy Wonka meets Nip Tuck, it’s funny and the songs are beautiful. Oh, and there are boobs. You should come. Molly’s site is here and there’s a trailer here.

Have a great summer and see you at the shows.
