It was the summer of 2018 and there I was, posing on Hampstead Heath holding a coffee like a wannabe millennial (JUST LET ME HAVE IT) douchecapsule.

Skip forward a couple of months, and courtesy of my improv home, The Free Association, I’m auditioning for Boom Chicago, an improv theatre in Amsterdam with a much-feted history of super-successful alumni including Seth Myers, Amber Ruffin, Ike Barinholtz, Jordan Peele, Kay Cannon and more…

Skip to the end. I got the job, moved to Amsterdam on a 3-month trial to feel it out and… I’m still here.

It’s July 2020 and the last few months have been pretty pretty weird for everyone. I think we’ve been pretty lucky here in Amsterdam. True, I didn’t work for 3 months, but I also had easy access to The Outdoors to get exercise and haven’t had to get public transport since March (yay bikes!).

As we head into late July, we’re back on stage 3 times a week with socially distanced and limited crowds but we’re getting there. I still haven’t finished my 5-part rap opus but I have refreshed this website so that’s a win for To Do List enthusiasts everywhere.

Plus my newsletter/mailer, FROTH is coming back to life soon. You should sign up. We’ll have fun.

Stay safe, wear a mask if you’ve been asked, try not to be a Karen. TTFN.
