Big thanks to England for allowing us to catch an earlier train home yesterday! Really can’t think of any other positives.

Saw the hysterically funny production of Michael Frayn’s Noises Off @thesjt.bsky.social last night and I was literally crying with laughter. Absolutely wonderful performances all round. Hoping the joy continues at LS11 this afternoon! #MOT #ALAL

Stephen Joseph Theatre | Noises Off
One of the greatest British comedies ever written, Noises Off is a hilarious and heartfelt tribute to the unpredictability of life in the theatre.

SJT this evening to see “Do I Love You” simply brilliant and I suspect a trip down memory lane for many!

Fabulous to meet up with the very talented cast of Sister Act following this evening’s performance at Scarborough’s YMCA. Almost certainly my last civic duty as our town’s Deputy Charter Mayor and it was truly an honour to be in the company of such a wonderful team. Thanks for the invite.

Out delivering in the Prospect Mount Road area this morning on behalf of Chris Head, Labour’s candidate for the new Scarborough Town Council. It was great being out and about in the sunshine, speaking to residents and hearing about their concerns.

Can there be a better day to go and watch A Complete Unknown? The times they certainly are a changing and it’s going to take a lot more than a protest song to save democracy this time around. In the meantime Hollywood Plaza here I come.

Well played by Derby this afternoon, astonished that they were able to keep the score down to 2-0, clearly they’d had enough!

Brilliantly bonkers production of Aladdin @thesjt.bsky.social this evening. Every member of the audience engaged from the opening lines to the last clap of applause, a thoroughly enjoyable performance. He’s behind you, oh no he’s…….

After seeing Gladiator on Tuesday evening I visited the @thesjt.bsky.social last night to see North Country Girl and I’ve got to say Dylan wins by a ‘country mile’ - superb musical. It’s the Lion the witch and the wardrobe up next!
