Not long now…

I’ve been up in Edinburgh for nearly a week.  Only a few days left until my first performance/preview.  Lots still to be done, but I’m quietly confident and rather excited!

I’ve managed to get a bit of last minute direction from Richard Hurst and he’s been spreading the good word.

Done a fair amount of badge distribution too – to keep the show in people’s heads.  I think they’re rather attractive and am rather chuffed with them!

On another note: ‘Small Talk‘ is being screened at the Portobello Film Festival this Saturday.  Click here for more info.

Right.  Back to the Festivities… 🙂

Heeeelp!

Tickets for Glitch are now on sale at the Pleasance:

…should you fancy a cheeky little bit of pre-booking!

Preparations for the show are bubbling away nicely.  Still lots to do…

I have an image for the show now, kindly designed by Jae who’ll also be designing the rest of my print and a logo for me.  Keep your eyes open for this beauty amongst the myriad of posters and flyers:

Don’t think you can miss it!

On another note, there’s another screening of ‘Small Talk‘ at the Ritzy in Brixton this Friday at 10am.  Just turn up if you fancy a looksee 🙂

In computer we trust

It seems that I am putting together a last minute how-many-days-are-left?! one woman show for this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

I totally missed all the brochure deadlines and I’m not on sale online yet, but for your well kept diaries: the show’s called ‘Glitch‘ and you can find me at the Pleasance Dome from the 20th – 28th of August at 5:30pm.

It’s an anarchic, half-hour visual comedy in the spirit of 2003’s ‘Deeper Underground‘ that lightly skims the mirth-inducing subject of National Security.

More details to follow…

Aside from Glitching I’ve been doing a little bit of filming for a sketch show pilot and I now have a copy of ‘Small Talk‘ on DVD.  Looking into getting it online…

I haven’t got out of my pyjamas today and I haven’t eaten heartily in the slightest.  I’m taking this as a healthy sign of a project underway.  (I have cunningly forgotten my mid afternoon nap…)  Onwards and Glitchwards I go!

Spring has sprung, the grass is riz, I wonder where that Lois is…?

No news is good news – or something like that…

I’ve been rather slack with the updates on here, but things have been happening nonetheless.

Just finished a shoot for a music video with Jasmin Jodry at the helm.  It’s a dark and moody green screen delight with me as a victim of a Vampire of time in a soulless metropolis.  You can watch here, it in all its eerie glory:

I’ve also been a Post Production office’s Tea Lady love interest in a project for students of West Herts College in Watford, and bagged the main part in a great little short by graduating students of UCCA down in Farnham (formally SIAD) called ‘Small Talk‘, which has an Amelie / Lost In Translation feel about it according to people who’ve seen it so far.  There’s going to be a screening of ‘Small Talk‘ at the Curzon in Soho next month, and I think some more screenings following this one are in the pipeline.

When I have copies of all of these projects I’ll post a link to them/upload to the site.

Showreel here we come…?!

I’ve also had a re-jig of my News page, along with the rest of the website.  As always – let me know if something isn’t working properly as I’m doing all this on my lovely, getting on a bit now, Mac.

Should hopefully have some more exciting news in the next few days fingers crossed…

Press stuff

Ok – first review of VEGA$M‘s London run can be found here at: thisislondon.com.  There was a glorious large colour picture to go with it in yesterday’s Evening Standard which isn’t alongside the online copy, so I’ve stuck another one on today’s post 🙂

Also, in The Times today is an article on Brand X’s masterminds: Sarah Nield and Paul Garner, that’ll give you kind of an idea of where they’re coming from!  Find that here.

Aaand – I did end up being part of the Naked News interview!  The story was mainly all about Brand X so I kept in character and said nothing 😛  It’s not my brainchild – I’m just here for the ride!!  When I know the broadcast date of the interview I’ll let you know…
