December 2022 - The Diary

December saw the recording of another series of our retro football podcast, SHOOT THE BREEZE! with Tom Brogan and Andy Smith. To celebrate the wonderful Qatar 22 World Cup we recorded three special 

episodes to look back on previous tournaments in 1974, 1982 and the current, quite brilliant tournament which ended in a thrilling victory for Argentina on penalties against France. Our brilliant guests were Andy Cameron and Graham Lambert (Inspiral Carpets) and are available on Youtube now. Listen back to the recent episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TmIHoVvww0&feature=youtu.be


Back to a series of excellent roleplays with Blue Beetle this month, when called in to cover the title role of MOTHER GOOSE in Glasgow Arts fabulous touring pantomime once again! Thanks to Mari Binnie and the cast and crew for welcoming on to the show, where I opened in Maryhill Community Centre, then to


Barmulloch and a final two shows at Knightswood Community Centre. Loved being back on stage with these guys and all shows were sold out and the audiences were just brilliant. An unexpected but fab end
to the year and a second stage show of 2023. A brilliant script by Alan McHugh and a great cast to work


with once again, having toured with Glasgow Arts previously with Aladdin, Sleeping Beauty and Beauty And The Beast. A joy to have been a part of! Then back in to more podcasts and roleplay work with NHS Lanarkshire and then to Master Of Ceremonies duties at my beautiful sister Lucy's wedding to Simon Craig at the University Chapel and party at The Tall Ship in Glasgow, photograph below! An honour to


be asked and this was yet another wonderful wedding in 2023. A couple of exciting auditions to end the year with too, so fingers crossed I will have some good news to report soon. Short film REMNANTS is now available to watch here @shortly_film on Twitter. Ended 2023 with another great, fun evening


with Irvine Welsh as The Hellfire Club reconvened in Glasgow in late December. Great to catch up and a lovely end to another busy and interesting year. Proud to have worked on lots of good productions this year and travelled all over again working with good people. Thank you to all my cast mates, directors


casting directors and producers I have met and worked with in 2022. It has been a blast! Personal highlights for me have been playing Sick Boy in PORNO at The Edinburgh Fringe, adding another Bollywood feature film to the CV, doing panto again and appearing in two books this award winning year!
