Panto Review: Peter Plank In It’s Bearly Easter
School holidays, the time parent's country-wide dread!

Today marks the last day of the Easter break for us here in… Continue reading Panto Review: Peter Plank In It’s Bearly Easter

Review: The Snowman Tour Live
This year celebrates the 40th anniversary of the classic children’s book, The Snowman by Raymond Briggs*. Originally published in 1978 as a wordless picture book, its popularity saw it brought to life on screen in 1982 as a short film.

Review: Dave Gorman With Great Powerpoint Comes Great ResponsibiltyPoint Tour 2018

Review: FriendsFest 2018
Back in the 90’s my Friday Evening plans consisted of a large bowl of Haagen Dazs and a date with six New York singleton’s. Week in, week out, I ensured my diary remained clear so that I could be comfortably ensconced on the sofa and tuned into Friends on Channel 4, heaven forbid I should… Continue reading Review: FriendsFest 2018
RaverTots Review: Big Raves For Little People

The… Continue reading RaverTots Review: Big Raves For Little People
Review: Interactive Introverts Dan & Phil 2018 World Tour
I have never felt older than I did when late last year the girls asked if I could buy them tickets to see Dan and Phil as part of their Christmas present, my first question was “Who the hell are Dan and Phil?”. After a short masterclass from the girls I wasn’t much wiser, to… Continue reading Review: Interactive Introverts Dan & Phil 2018 World Tour
Santa’s Christmas Wish
There’s nothing better over the festive period than going to see a show or Panto with the family to get into the mood, however with Leo having only just turned four I was reluctant to book our local regional pantomime as I know from experience that it is rather long-winded! I was therefore delighted when… Continue reading Santa’s Christmas Wish
