End of Tour

I’m back in Sydney for at least the next few months, and the feeling of properly packing my suitcase away is a great relief. I’ve been on the road more or less since LaserFraser was four and a half months old, and now she’s a whole one. Of course we all immediately got incredibly sick in Queensland, while I was visiting my brother there, and so it has been a week of terrifying baby fevers, coughing until she spews, crying until she spews, a...

Tea With Alice Salon 82 : All Levels

I headed to Canberra to do a gig this weekend. I took dad to mind LaserFraser and they put us up at a nice hotel. In fact, it’s the same hotel dad used to stay in back in the 90s when he was businessing and he would sometimes bring us kids, so it’s a nice full circle moment. It was all rather cool and exciting and I’m really glad to have been asked. The guy on my left (stage right) is a Nobel prize winner, and the guy on my right (the other...

Salon 80 & 81 Details and Link

I’m hoping to catch as many timezones as possible by doing this double. These will both be open to all levels. See you there! As always, Salon “rules” are as follows. Normal Zoom etiquette appliesFeel free to lurk with your camera off if you’re shy. You must have tea, but also the definition of tea is extremely loose and includes ‘the concept of tea’ (tea-chi), water (pre-tea), coffee (bean tea), “I just had a bath” (human tea), �...

What a week! And weekend Salons.

Hallo all, it has been a week of baby and parent illness and early wakeups for live Bugle recordings (it’s currently 4.17am where I am). In the midst of that, I got one night of genuine insomnia which I must say, was enraging. How dare I? It’s also been idyllic and glorious to be in Queensland with family. Yesterday I went paddleboarding, had a massage and did a sauna in my brother’s backyard, while tropical rain bucketed down outside. It w...

Back in Australia + Brisbane Show

I will be doing a CHRONOS show in Brisbane on 12 November at Good Chat Comedy: tickets here. Please come or send your Brisbane friends. I’d like to visit my twin more often, and if I can fill a room here, it’ll mean more of a chance to do that. I am back in Aus! I have many mixed feelings, but I won’t articulate them until I am a bit more sane. Currently extremely groggy either from jetlag or from the 25 hour trip that contained about twent...

A Day of Stories

This is a photo of my mum that’s been around in a photo album in our house for as long as I can remember. My brother shared it in the family group this morning as we talked about how we’re going to remember her today, and dad told us it’s a picture he took of her the day she moved in with him. So there you go - in the garden of the ramshackle house I grew up in that I talk about in The Resistance - one of those days that marks a fork in the...

I genuinely have no idea how this effect was achieved.

This is a picture of my baby’s foot, taken by said baby. I do not give my baby the phone. She achieves the phone through stealth and pickpocketry and then goes on sprees of self portraiture. This weekend I did a quick trip to London to attend the wedding of Tiff Stevenson to her long time beloved, Paul. It was really lovely. I cried and then didn’t get to hang round to see friends and fancy people, because of bedtime. But it is always so love...

The Sunset of The Time and Salon 77 Details for Tomorrow

The clocks have changed in Australia, taking us towards The Difficult Time for inter-timezone work/communication. Things here have been exciting and epic in the most mundane of ways this week including a Fire (not in, but uncomfortably close to my flat), a (non-covid) cold and Friends In Trouble. On Friday I’ll fly back to London to be in London for a wedding, which will be lovely. MUST resist buying an adorable and impractical outfit for Laser...

Zoom Writers Meeting today (Sunday) : ETA Postponed

ETA: My plan for today has gone south, so I will have to put the writers meeting to NEXT SATURDAY at the same time (1pm London). —-Original Post It’s been an itchy week - when I arrived here, the people who own the apartment I’m subletting pointed out these plug in anti-mosquito liquid smell machines, which sit in the electric sockets and I assume work to ward away mosquitos. Unfortunately, all the plug sockets in this place are baby height...

Today I did not leave the house

One of the nice things about being in Florence is it’s such a walkable city. But today was an absolute hect of a day, and I didn’t end up leaving the house at all. It was raining, which made that a technically acceptable choice, but I always feel a bit trapped and thwarted when I don’t get out into the fresh air at all. Also I prefer to let Laser Fraser get some outdoor vista and grass time every day, so she doesn’t end up myopic and dirt...

Florentine Disappointments

On one hand, a guy in my apartment building was singing opera to himself last night, so that was pretty great. On the other hand, a writing gig I had lined up in the U.K. for tomorrow has fallen through for infuriating bureaucratic reasons I could have dodged if they’d given me a heads up say three weeks ago. Had a bit of a swear to myself, and then reminded myself that I have a pretty lucky life with lots of hard and interesting work, and this...

Florence Time & Salon Details + Writers Meeting Sunday.

So, I’ve been in Florence for um… three days? Trying to simultaneously plan the shape of next year and also completely relax my brain and not think about logistics for five minutes. Part of me thinks my hindbrain will figure out what it wants to do if I just let front brain drift a bit (apart from weekly Gargle and News Quiz writing, of course). Part of me thinks I should get out my post it notes and system cards and start mapping out plans. ...

Goodbye For Now London

My plan is now… I’ve run out of plans. But I’m hoping to be back next year and in a more stable way, assuming the world is capable of supporting anything stable.Today’s salon is at 2pm Italy Time, which is 1pm London Time.Or your local time equivalent. I will send through the link to the relevant levels in an hour or so.

CANCELLED: salon today

HALLO FRIENDS! Today’s spinning out of control to get things ready before the filming because my Agent is AWOL with family issues, so all the logistics are mine for the day. I’m going to have to pull the salon and make it Wednesday this week. Tea With Alice Salon 74Time: Sep 11, 2022 01:00 PM LondonLink: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87625875987

Filming CHRONOS today.

It was quite funny yesterday (though I was immensely stressed out). Things I was worried about:- remembering my show.- my Agent, who I sent my comps list to, but didn’t put the comps list through, so now I have more people coming than I have seats and need to figure out how to bend space, because basically by definition all the people who don’t have tickets are important enough that I wanted to give them free bloody tickets.- the banjo I borr...

MOC filming tomorrow (plus Salon details)

Hallo! I am trying to wrangle them to send out Comp tickets to your emails -they’ve sold out and not put an allocation aside so I’m trying to figure out what they’ll allow. Update: apparently it’s a matter of licensing laws etc, so it’s tricky. But I’ve basically committed to letting Patreon people come, if I have to put chairs on stage and call you the Greek chorus, so if you’ve messaged me about wanting a comp, come and I’ll wal...

Post Edinblog: Bad Holiday

Well, I’ve escaped from edinburgh. This week has been a total wash - have been ignoring my phone and all reminders, and the prospect of figuring out what day of the week it is has been so daunting that I haven’t been able to do anything since my ill fated decision to do both the gargle and the bugle on travel days up here to the highlands from Edinburgh. I ended up recording the bugle by the side of a road in a car mysteriously surrounded by ...

Edinblog Days 23, 24, 25: The End

Last night, the notorious last Monday of the fringe was so lovely. I was expecting a tiny tiny quiet audience of exhausted festival goers who had run, long ago, out of laughter to give. Monday’s a whimper to go out on, rather than a bang. Instead I got a lovely warm audience and a whole bunch of artists, which nearly made me cry. It means a lot when other artists come to see my show - I don’t identify as one of the cool kids, I don’t have b...

Edinblog Day 19, 20, 21 & 22

This week I did ACMS a couple of times and the Assembly Best of The Fest last night (all shows starting at midnight). I’d put off doing late shows to this last week of the festival because I was trying to keep my powder dry, but doing three in a row was deeply stupid. I feel dreadful today - emotional, tired, groggy, hopeless - like I’ll never make up the sleep. Also Laser Fraser is a bit sick, so I got home at 1am and started a shift of comf...
