I have become aware that there has been some doubt about the authenticity of the footage of The Greatest Moment Of My Entire Life. Here it is, in the raw. I shall not stand by and have my good name be slandered by cynics. 🤣 #FreoDockers

Silly filter, weird orientation, post-ArtfulDodger facial hair, and an odd choice of microphone… nevertheless, I am fond rather of this at home version of this special (to me) song, ‘Night Will Come’. You gotta love life.

Marking ten years since Groundhog Day’s Opening Night at the Old Vic.

Ten years ago today Groundhog Day previews began for its debut run at the wonderful Old Vic. Here’s a home recording of ‘Everything About You’, a sad-funny love song that Phil sings to Rita.

This week, I’ve been in Canberra with Live Performance Australia talking to MPs (and the PM!) about how the government can help stabilise and stimulate our live performance industry. It was really fuckin interesting and rather fun. For now, if you haven’t seen this speech I made on the topic, check it out:

A niche post for West Aussies: Look what my cousin Hattie did! Her Opera company, Freeze Frame Opera, won 5 awards at the WA Performing Arts Awards this week. Wish I’d been there. So many friends and colleagues getting gongs, including stage manager legend Jenny Poh with a hugely deserved Lifetime Achievement, and James Berlyn winning the inaugural Ripple Effect Award, created in honour of dear friend Georgia Malone, who we lost last year. xx

Many of you will have noticed that last year, the UK leg of “Songs the World Will Never Hear” raised over £100K for Medecins Sans Frontieres, by giving away the proceeds of hundreds of VIP seats.
For the Australian leg of the tour, we decided we would raise money for various Women and Family Shelters and other organisations in the Domestic Violence space.
And I am very proud to finally share that the total amount was pretty damned close to $300,000.00. (We topped it up cos I like round numbers).
This allows us to donate $50K to each of these fantastic organisations:
#SecondChance
#CatherineHouse
#TooraWomen
#DeservingBetter
#WomensCommunityShelter
#NovaForWomenAndChildren
As I toured around, I had the opportunity to meet and chat with the extraordinary people providing these - sadly vital - services.
Domestic Violence is a fucking scourge, one we need to attack from all directions. Please look up these organisations if you feel you’d like to contribute, and let us dream of (and work towards) a society in which they are redundant.

In honour of the BAFTAS tonight… here’s my opening number from the very hilarious year of 2020, when the great Richard Ayoade was virtually hosting the virtual ceremony. I hope this year is more fun and I hope everyone gets a medal.
