I no longer post here since it got awful; find me on Instagram or Tiktok. Writer of musicals. He/him.

So ironic that the term "iambic pentameter" is actually written in brachycatalectic amphibrachic trimeter haha

Looking for actors for a new musical! Please do share if you're able; the roles require a playing age of 16 and alas, all my friends strangely seem to have become 25 or so. #actorcallout #actorjobs #actorsuk #actors #newmusicals

@LabourCID @staff_heather @libbysmith17 Nice statement, but what are we doing about it? Do we have a plan - to rally supportive MPs, to lobby leadership, to force a vote? What is our strategy?

[Joe Venable @josephchv]

On the positive side, it shows there are still lots of very good, compassionate people in the Labour party, despite a right-wing faction that is a growing proportion of our shrinking party. I hope decency will continue to win out.

[Joe Venable @josephchv]

It is incredibly cringe that the right-wing @labtowin group whipped delegates to put an anti-refugee motion on the #LabourPartyConference agenda, but then withdrew the motion when they realised they were going to lose. What a waste of everyone's time. #Lab24

We hear a lot about small boats and channel crossings - in this post I explain why they're not a threat to the UK.

I swear @ABC are actually turning Trump's mic ON when he interrupts? Have they built the mute switch upside down? #Debate2024

[Joe Venable @josephchv]

Deeply confusing that the Tories spent the whole election saying Labour would raise taxes by £2000, and now they're getting all upset that Labour are thinking about raising taxes. You manifested it Rishi! Own it 💗

[Joe Venable @josephchv]

Labour could literally win a landslide majority by promising a law that train drivers have to slow down when there's horses. I'm sick of having to beg the conductor.

[Joe Venable @josephchv]

@thelauratheory_ I did the same, but after maybe 150 pages. There were clever bits but also baffling bits and I think a writer has to respect their reader just a little bit. Hugely rate your call to jump ship 🫡

[Joe Venable @josephchv]

Am hearing that the England defeat may be divine retribution after God learnt many churches had cancelled their evening services in light of the match. A harrowing indictment of our godless society if true.

I posted a call-out recently for this show, but only got a handful of applications from male actors! There are two small male roles, just two days' work, with a £150 fee - do get in touch if you're interested, or share onwards! #actingjobs #actors #casting #ukactors

[Joe Venable @josephchv]

@smaugsboots I've missed these 😍

[Joe Venable @josephchv]

This has aged satisfyingly well. Collector's items!

[Joe Venable @josephchv]

I do just think the journos writing mean pieces about Southgate could look pretty silly in a few days, given England have a pretty plausible route to the Euros final. Lots of the current think-pieces could become collector's items.

I'm producing a workshop of a new musical, and looking for actors - particularly those with playing ages around 15-17 and 40-50 - and MD + pianist. Please do share if you can!

@martgathercole So sorry not to have met you - when I shot off to clear away props and costumes I'd hoped to be back sooner and have more time! So glad you enjoyed it and thanks for all the support, what a ride 😅

[Joe Venable @josephchv]

I've been so touched by all the support from friends, family and strangers for this show - a bonkers six-week project that flew solely by the seat of its pants. This lovely review caps off a wonderful show week - so grateful for all💞

[All That Dazzles @ATDazzles]

Helping us to laugh at what should probably make us cry, the timely premiere of 'Rishi Sunak's Doing a Musical' brings ludicrous yet sharp satire to its short run at @WaterlooEast

@sufferingnatsci You don't think anyone ever suggested it? Anyone? Ever?
