What a Weekend!!!

The Barefaced Cheek performance of This Show Shall Remain Nameless... on Saturday night was a resounding success! Everything just fell into place and I can honestly say that I have never felts as comfortable on stage as I did then. It was magic....and now it's over! The article in Friday's Express and Echo was large and wonderful with a big glossy photo. Sometimes the effort pays off.

So, now plans for the future. I have two months left in England and plan to make the most of them. We'll be filming some of the Barefaced Cheek sketches to put on youtube and will also be recording the two songs from our show with filmed videos to post as well. I'm not settling for any less than UK #1 for my Gordon Brown love song!!!!

I'll be working on some audio recordings with my friends Sam and Dave for inclusion in their radio comedy sketch show. The Sam and Dave Show is currently on air on Phonic FM (Exeter) and Sound Art (Totnes). They have picked up a few other stations in the UK which are eager to include them in their scheduling, so the listenership will be growing at an alarming rate!!

I'm also still involved with the Temple of Nothing, although I have had to put my original performance for the show on hold. I'll still be putting together an audio/visual element for the preview in June and will help with publicity. I will be the long-distance Temple sister when I move back to Canada, but will continue to be involved with the group as I'm sure the work of the Temple will continue to flow and progress over the coming months.

At a time when I should be winding down my work here, all I really want to do is wind it UP! Very conflicting emotions.....

Beemos and Bad Wigs...

Lots of activity over the last week.

Rolling out the promotion for the Barefaced Cheek show on 18th April...

I did a telephone interview yesterday with the Express and Echo (Exeter) for a full page article which is going in next Friday's (17th) What's On entertainment section with colour photo - fab! We'll be doing a photo shoot next week for the article. I'm also going to be doing a live interview on Exeter FM (107.3FM) on Wednesday (15th) at 10.15am about the show. Sometimes the press releases don't work - and sometimes they do! It's all good.

We've just about finalised the line-up for the show which may sound silly as we're only a week away from 'the night', but we just have too much good material, making it incredibly difficult to trim. Obviously we don't want the show to be too long, but I think we've now got just the right mix of sketches, topics, audio and a bit of song and dance for good measure!

I'm working on new material as well. The Exeter Northcott is running a play submission programme at the moment called The Big Read. I'm trying to decide whether to submit an existing play or finish one of the new ones I've been working on. Obviously one of these options easier than the other, but that doesn't necesarrily make it the right choice! Either way, I'll definitely be submitting a play and see what happens.

Don't forget, if you haven't already bought tickets, the Barefaced Cheek show - This Show Shall Remain Nameless... is playing on Saturday 18th April at the Barnfield Theatre (Clifford Room) at 8pm for One Night Only. Box office - 01392 270891. See you there!

And if you're wondering what a Beemo is, all will be revealed during the show.
