Is this your first time to Bedfringe?

No, it’s my 2nd year running!

Now I know what to expect, I’ve been really excited to write and share this year’s show.

Performing in and around such a diverse range of shows keeps the energy levels high too!

What are the big things you’ve learned since 2023 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?

I’ve been writing loads and performing more. And I’ve been experimenting! It’s so important for me to keep a sense of fun in my creative work so earlier this year I started experimenting with adding my words to music. I rapped one of my poems and also wrote a song!

I’ve definitely been using the year to consider my values and reasons for performing. I truly believe people need to feel good about themselves and realise there are many alternatives to a hum drum way of life.

I love to plant seeds and remind folks of the alternatives.

Trying new things and getting out of my comfort zone has become my compass which always keeps things interesting!

Tell us about your show.

‘Say YES to Life’ is like a creative self help book on stage. Alongside stories of following your intuition, taking opportunities and making things happen , there are poems and questions and invitations to ponder.

You will leave feeling inspired, energised and ready to say YES to the life you really want.

What should your audience see at Bedfringe after they’ve seen your show?

Make sure you see the 3 poets live show with Cameron and pals. He’s a brilliant local creative and works with ingenuity and style both on and off the stage. I can’t wait to see the magic their show brings to Bedfringe. If you’ve ever been to Bedford’s Eagle Bookshop or the regular poetry night the ‘Ouse Muse’ you’ll have met some of the literary trio.
