If you are anything like me, you will have been cursing both bath grime and limescaley water marks on taps for years. Well, those days are over, people. I would like to introduce to my new best friend, method tub scrub. Using finely milled marble to give your bathroom a jolly good scrub, and bergamot, citron, [...]

Review: La Clique at the Spiegeltent at the Brighton Fringe
Any show that starts with a female burlesque dancer dressed as a very convincing leather-jacketed guy and continues with a 46-year-old, mustachioed, spandex-clad blue bunny in heels, has to be a show that won’t pull any punches when it comes to raucous entertainment. And that show is the latest offering by mixed cabaret and circus group La Clique at the Brighton [...]

Review: Revan and Fennell, ‘I’m with stupid’ at the Brighton Fringe
Bringing any show to a festival as packed and established as the Brighton Fringe is a highly daunting experience, but the confidence emitted by the female comedy duo Revan and Fennell right from the start instantly put the audience at ease. Their new multi media show I’m with stupid features live and pre-recorded observational [...]

Review of Shit-faced Shakespeare at the Brighton Fringe
Despite studying Shakespeare at school (every year – for five years) I was not a huge fan. But when the production of Shit-faced Shakespeare was listed in the Brighton Fringe I was intrigued enough to pay a visit. The premise of the show is simple - a (relatively) serious Shakespeare play with one cast member completely and utterly plastered. [...]

The glass is always half full in Saltaire
Ah, Saltaire: a UNESCO World Heritage Site based in no other than my stomping ground West Yorkshire, and an area of outstanding natural beauty. The annual arts trail held in this picturesque setting is a community event – and one you really won’t want to miss. Snaking in and around the village are celebrations of [...]

See Shakespeare, shit-faced, at the Brighton Fringe
If you’re in Brighton between May 4-10, wanting to Do Something Different, and at a loose end, I would recommend giving the latest Magnificent Bastard Productions play a go. Shit-faced Shakespeare boozily piggy-backs A Midsummer Night’s Dream and turns it into … well, that’s up to the audience. With a genuinely inebriated actor selected at [...]

We’ve been cold for months now, and so some of us may have forgotten about good old sunny positivity. Here is a little selection of books that will bring a smile to our frozen, frowny faces. [...]

Otley: where there’s wool there’s a way…
Ah Otley, Leeds’ long lost brother! Whilst Leeds has grown in stature and reputation, Otley has remained the missing and unrecognisable sibling, despite having the same postcode. But there is a change in the air; a spring has been newly added to Otley’s step. And it happens on the last Sunday of every month. Otley [...]

Brighten up your kitchen with an ethical tea towel!
Using colours – especially bright ones – in interiors can sometimes be tricky. It is a big decision to change the hue of a room, but sometimes all you need are a few key accessories to brighten up a space, and completely transform its character. Changing a kitchen is a particularly large (and expensive) project, but getting [...]
