I’ve a repertoire of live storytelling pieces, ranging from the prose poem of Jimmy Stewart… to more informal tales, always told with the people in the room with me: storytelling is an inherently interactive form, even/especially when you can make space for the audience’s own reflected stories.
JIMMY STEWART, AN ANTHROPOLOGIST FROM MARS, ANALYSES LOVE AND HAPPINESS IN HUMANS (AND RABBITS) is about a Martian trying to understand love. I’ve performed it over 100 times in living-rooms, theatres, bars, festivals from Dublin to Melbourne, and other spaces including the Jimmy Stewart Memorial Library in his hometown of Indiana, Pennsylvania. It’s available to book for living-rooms.

TELEPHONE is a personal and universal history of telecommunications, about connection across space and time, made in the first lockdown and told over zoom in a gesture of connecting audiences who are strangers at distance. It’s available to book for online performance.
