It'll also be a chance to pay tribute to Peter Sowerbutts (Manager Norton), who we lost this week.
Join us at 8pm UK time (3pm ET) on Long Cat Media's YouTube, Facebook, Instagram or Twitch page for this special event!
Date for the diary!
On Nov 26th (a Wednesday), we will be live streaming a listening party of the very first MOCKERY MANOR episode.
We'll be doing a director's commentary-style deep dive into the making of the episode, behind-the-scenes nuggets and the early days of Mockery, followed by Q&A time.
Laurence LongCat here - I first met Peter when I was 10. I was in a production of The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me at Polka Theatre in London. He played the Duke of Hampshire, I played Billy. Getting to work with him again, years later, on our own project, was a real treat!

We’ve just heard the very sad news that Peter Sowerbutts (Manager Norton in Mockery Manor S1) has died.
Peter was a wonderful character, a brilliant actor and an institution of our local theatre scene. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
If you’re a fan of the @longcatmedia.bsky.social podcastiverse: Madam Magenta, Mockery Manor, Ballad of Ann & Mary, or frankly any small artists’ productions, @laurenceowen.bsky.social and Lindsay are asking us to ditch Spotify and move to a different platform. Spotify is a truly terrible company!

TWO THINGS!
Firstly, live stream tonight. The clocks have gone back here in the UK, so the 8pm start means a 4PM EASTERN TIME START.
So while announcing it before the funding is in place may be somewhat jumping the gun, we're very excited about the project and we have a good feeling.
We can't wait to get started!
It so happens that we've been developing a story inspired by the legend of the Black Shuck for a very long time, and we're currently in the middle of a funding application to make it.
