Corona, we all know her. She’s in all our lives in many different forms. What if I told you she won’t be coming to a West End stage near you…because she’s her own worst enemy? Confused? That’s understandable, but we’re creating something other than food at the deli…a musical. #yourewelcome

What a s**t show 2020 has turned out to be. I didn’t expect it to be better than any other year but this is so bad you just got to laugh! I didn’t think that when asking my mates if they wanted to go out for dinner that they would question whether we should because of government guidelines. Imagine as a teenager, ‘hey wanna get drunk this weekend?’ ‘we can’t we’re under 18!’ Never happened.

I’m not on drugs, the dog is. He’s in the cone of shame but he’s doing fine. However he’s only allowed minimal exercise so if anyone wants to go for a walk in the evening let me know, don’t worry I have a leash I can use no whips, I can use a chain if that’s what you prefer…this got weird fast. Anyway..

I feel like i’m growing up because I want to do more adulty things like make an investment however I know nothing of this world of stocks and shares and they use weird words. Maybe they do this so that people like me stay away. Well i’m going in!

I’m quite a personality, some love me some hate me. However if you express your hatred for me to my face you then run the risk of never again having a £1.50 flat white in central London. So ask yourself is it truly worth it? I don’t think it’s worth it personally but i’m biased!

So try it for yourself!
