Hey Dan! It’s been an amazing ride since lockdown looking forward to next chapter. Spooky I was at a BBC R4 recording this week of Ian Smiths new series 2  of Stressed and yes he’s been a sweetheart for a few years now and his cuhhhhk fluhhht was mentioned too!  

ABC at Tommyfield - get on the newsletter to get tipped off about mega names trying out new stuff just had pre tour run through for £10 vs £35+ tour.  Lots of names familiar to NextUppers on mixed bills. Started new room at Trafslgar Chelsea. Opening at The Bedford soon 

Please could Rachel and Marcus bring back Tuesday Night Club (iykyk😝) even just as a one off special- there is a slight overlap with NextUpppers and TNCers🤪. Also any plans for an Austen themed tea  [RP] and cheese tasting [MB] event would be brilliant 🤩 

Rewatching from prism of speaking to her at her recent BBC R4 special recording wink wink and knowing Nish is her other half 😝

Thanks so much I guessed it was a permission issue but I was so looking forward to it 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🎁

Kai - Community Admin thats awful. I remember as a uni student in 1980s one of my flatmates needed help so I ended up being a companion to a mini van of wheelchair users on a theatre trip and pushed them on off van in out theatre to from loos so had a very early education on accessibility 40+ years later as a mobility issue myself sadly for every idiot still some angels help but can’t get to certain gigs hence need NextUp

Depends on layout of venue and show eg any recordings happy at front as it’s not a crowd work occasion eg some clubs happy at front due to safe spaces but with my daughter definitely 3+ rows back rest of time where the loo/exit/access requirements are optimal incl front or back

What a great idea the start of many eg once a month themed appropriately (eg Easter Eggs chocolate rabbits etc, summer holidays etc) rebooting the online community upside of NextUp

Oooh I spotted Jason and LST in the pix exciting!
