A busy Sunday indeed! In which I buy a lot of books and have Benedict Cumberbatch walk past me just a few times. And yes, I did have a little freak out every time…. We went to LFCC a bit later than everyone else, again to avoid massive queues. There were a couple of panels, Fandom & Writing and Social Change, that I wanted to … Continue reading YALC 2017 | Sunday at YALC 2017.
This year has been the first year I’ve spent at London Film and Comic Con & the Young Adult Literature Convention where I have attended on more than one day! Luckily for me, Showmasters put on one of the most chilled out conventions I’ve ever been to, so I’ve never felt stressed out due to crowds, whenever I’ve attended. Previous years, I’ve only attended on … Continue reading YALC 2017 | A Friday Book Haul.

I’ve also attended London Film and Comic Con for the Young Adult Literature Convention, … Continue reading Five Convention Season Tips If You’re a Noob like Me.

But it’s rare for a performer that I like to be performing just fifteen minutes down the road from me. You may know Lea from her Broadway career in shows like Spring Awakening & Fiddler on the Roof. You may know her from … Continue reading Lea Michele @ Shoreditch Town Hall

Having been watching Jack Whitehall’s stand up on various TV shows and on YouTube for years, this was only the second time I had seen Jack’s live arena show. I first saw his Gets Around tour in 2014 at Wembley with my dad. Not ideal in terms of content but I still had a good laugh. In fact, the performance I went to is the … Continue reading Jack Whitehall: At Large @ Wembley Arena
Things you may not know about me: I love comedy. I love good comedy that makes people laugh without feeling like it has to offend a group of people to be funny.With The Tenderloins and their show Impractical Jokers, you get a group of friends who have known each other for 20+ years bantering with each other. And it’s hilarious because they just remind you … Continue reading A Sappy Post About Impractical Jokers

On Wednesday, my friend Tema and I attended the panel & signing at Waterstones Islington where Holly Bourne was interviewing Jennifer Niven about her YA career so far.

A couple of weeks back, I had seen on Twitter that one of my favourite comedians was doing a show at the Soho Theatre. Having seen Joel on stage twice before, both times being at the Soho Theatre, I knew I had to go again. This time was special though as the show was being recorded for a DVD. You may recognise Joel from TV shows … Continue reading Joel Dommett @ Soho Theatre.
