Edinburgh Fringe 2026 – 60 Shows, Amazing People and a Reality Check
Well, I’m back from the Edinburgh Fringe, and boy, what a Fringe it was! Over the month, I managed to do 60 shows. Now, I know quite a few of my comedy buddies did more than that, but 60 was what my body could handle, and I’m bloody proud of it. One of my favourite…

Well, it’s been another wonderful, magical week at the Edinburgh Fringe, and somehow we’re already heading into the final couple of weeks!
We finished Slugageddon on the 16th, and what a joy it’s been bringing our new children’s show to Edinburgh. We’ve learnt so much from doing the show here. We’ve had children and families joining in, we’ve had some fantastic feedback, and we’ve even come away having made a little bit of money! Anyone who knows…

Well, it hasn’t even been 10 days since I got to Edinburgh, and so far I’ve had an amazing time.
I’ve met some incredible people, performed loads, laughed loads, and yes… I’ve already been accused of being drunk several times, by everyone from bouncers to members of the public! 😂 But that’s okay. That’s part of why I do what I do — make people laugh while educating people about disability at the same time.…

Disability Pride Month – Proud to Be Me
Every July I spend a bit of time reflecting on what it means to be disabled. Not because someone tells me to, but because it’s a chance to look back at the journey and realise just how far I’ve come. I can honestly say this: I’m proud to be disabled. Not because it’s easy—it isn’t.…

Parallel Festival – Celebrating Disability Pride Together
Well, what can I say about yesterday’s trip to Parallel Festival in Windsor? It was another fantastic day for the Blue Badge Bunch team, as we were invited back to celebrate Disability Pride Month. I came on my own last year, so it was really special to have the whole team with me this time.…

What a Busy Few Weeks It’s Been!
Well, what a busy few weeks it’s been! It’s been another month full of children’s shows, comedy gigs and trying to squeeze a bit of rest in between. Looking back, I don’t think I’d have wanted it any other way. A few weeks ago we headed up to Hull for the Big Malarkey Festival, a…

Why I Met Lee Anderson
Well, it’s been another week and a bit since I last wrote a blog. I wasn’t going to write this one, but I feel like I should explain my actions because a lot of people have been asking questions. Most of you know what I’m about. Everything I do is about promoting disability awareness, LGBTQ+…
