Anyone else remember Celebrity Traitors in 1995?

What a series that was. Michael Parkinson, Gabrielle and Tim Curry as the Traitors. The unlikely friendship between Brian Moore and Art Malik. Mollie Sugden's fart. Adrian Moorhouse's eye-roll. All hosted by Eve Pollard.

The full Millican tour gang backstage. Sarah is at the front taking the photo. Everyone else behind, including Tan and Rob, plus our ASL interpreters. I'm on the left, looking off-camera because I apparently don't know how phones work.

My first gig in Utah and it'll take some beating. Thank you to @sarahmillican.bsky.social's rocking audience, which included the lovely duo of Tan France and his husband Rob.

My headline shows at Wiseguys are Jan 9 and 10. www.wiseguyscomedy.com/utah/salt-la...

The backstage crew with Sarah at the front. The rest of us have our backs turned and are looking coquettishly over our shoulders.

Sarah, Matt and the tour gang are standing backstage holding on to a clothes rail like it’s a train.

It’s Matt and I backstage at the venue. I have my hand on my hip. He is joining at me. My dress has paperclips on it. I’ve made the photo black and white so it looks more arty.

This isn’t hard: the Nobel Prize for Best Song is just the music and lyrics while Best Record includes the production, recording and mixing.

Gary Gulman: Grandiloquent - Soho Theatre Gary Gulman’s hilarious new show about insecurity, empathy, self-acceptance and how a thoughtful boy learned to use humour, reading and writing to cope with the consequences of his parents’ blunders.

While I was sadly not selected for the main festival I’m delighted to announce I will be self-producing my show at the Riyadh Fringe.

Sure I’ll lose money because the tent only seats 30, but it’s nice to be in the conversation.
