@KimberleysJames It was such a fantastic day! I loved both performing and pottering around 😃❤️

@rebekah_gracee_ You’re not alone ❤️ I’ve been feeling really claustrophobic and anxious today. It’s just making everything whiz around the old noggin. Sending lots of love hun ❤️

@reallara @AboutLondon @vanillablack1 @TerribleThames @londontopia You’re right! It’s been added to my ‘to do’ list! 😃😃😃

@rebekah_gracee_ I work out with a mate because gyms make me anxious and I don’t have the self confidence to work out on my own.

@jeckyjbones Them: So you’re an Actor? What would I have seen you in on TV?
Me: Oh I’m not a screen actor
Them: Well what have you been on the west end then?

Remember if you’re a TV star or a west end performer, you’re not a real actor…

😅😅😅

@ByIvyM That it’s in London on the site of an unsolved murder? 😋

Today I gave a lecture on Costumed Interpretation at the @_UoW. The main focus was the discipline as a performance style and how to create engaging content from artefacts, historical figures and songs.

The NHS Sea Shanty!
This morning I accepted a challenge from a friend to write a #SeaShanty... this afternoon between giving lectures I wrote and recorded one!
It’s called ‘Mask Up and Spread Out Me Boys’ based on ‘Roll My Bully Boys Roll’

@jeckyjbones Pros- A caring care system.
Cons- Compulsory PE lessons till your 90

I’d put up with more PE lessons if it meant care was getting to those who need it (and you know how much I have PE 😂)

@jeckyjbones Union Flag loaf! Noice!😍

@mischiefcomedy have done it again! Tonights show on @BBCOne was fantastic and filled to the brim with cleaver, witty and side splitting comedy!
Can’t wait for stages to open up again so I can finally get to see the live shows!

[Martin Jakeman @Martin_Jakeman]

I took the new #Government #JobQuiz to see as an #Artist what I should #Retrain as... interesting results!

Doing what we do best 😍

@ProfPeterDoyle HMS Warrior's full on first person interpretation is a masterpiece. I'm not usually a fan of FP LH/reenlarpment approaches as they can fall flat, but it was so well done by exceptionally keen/talented staff that I was awestruck by what can be achieved.

[Martin Jakeman @Martin_Jakeman]

Had such a fantastic afternoon at @Fort_Nelson.
I felt very safe with all the precautions they have in place.
I can’t wait for things to be open again fully.

[Martin Jakeman @Martin_Jakeman]

As promised, I’ve come all the way from Reading and bought a coffee and some lunch from @TRwinchester. Make sure you support the arts today so they are here tomorrow!
