Any artists/theatre makers interested in thinking abouts arts projects we can set up in Blyth/Redcar/Darlington etc promoting unity, kindness, tolerance... DM/email me. Last night I was debating a career change. Today I need to do something positive & proactive.

My cult horror-comedy show SOON I WILL BE DEAD AND MY BONES WILL BE FREE TO WREAK HAVOC UPON THE EARTH ONCE MORE is embarking on a short tour next month. Here's the information arranged in an image. Please be careful not to accidentally hit "RT" thereby helping me promote it!

In line with current advice, next week's Axo is cancelled and we'll be on hiatus until it's safe to resume. Take care of yourselves, keep washing your dannies and we'll see you when we can. ❤️
