🚨A week today a very exciting thing happens…🚨
I GET TO HOST MY OWN RADIO 4 SHOW EVERY WEEK FOR TEN WEEKS!
I am honestly so excited for you to hear Best Medicine. I feel honoured to be a part of this show. The writer’s rooms are a blast, the guests are fascinating and hilarious and I think it is the most uplifting thing I’ve ever been a part of.
Best Medicine
Tuesdays 6.30pm on @bbcradio4 and after on @bbcsounds .
⚠️ WARNING! SENTIMENTAL POST INCOMING ⚠️
This is where the magic happens. Behind this door and in this beautiful old building.
We’ve been running comedy classes in Canaolfan Glanhwfa with @gwneudmakedo for a few weeks and I just have to tell you about it.
After every session @misskatiegill and I have a fizzy, breathless debrief because the talent we have behind that door in the back room of a Chapel turned community centre is unreal.
The kids we have coming on Saturdays have soared through our expectations and come to the sessions with big hearts, amazing brains and boundless enthusiasm. I spend every Saturday morning howling with laughter. They’re such a clever, offbeat bunch and it warms my heart because they remind me of the funny group of pals I had growing up.
Tuesday nights are a special affair too. Our senior class is such a sacred place for me. It’s so hard to start learning something as an adult. For so many people comedy means public speaking or it’s their true love so the stakes are even higher. I said last night that I did a comedy course as an arrogant 22 year old with lots of free time, I did it the easy way. We have a room full of people who’re making space for this around kids and careers & I’ve got so much respect for that. I’m also so excited because I see it all ahead of them. I can see the stand ups, I can see the writers, the directors, the sketch performers. It’s so natural to them and they don’t even realise it.
Katie and I set up @gwneudmakedo because we know there’s talent in the area and we wanted to give it somewhere to go. In a few short weeks I already feel like this is bigger than us and I know this school is going to be a really important and long lasting part of Wales’s cultural landscape. That’s not arrogance, it’s the people coming, not us. The magic is being made in the back room of a chapel in Llangefni and if that isn’t a reflection of culture in Wales I don’t know what is.

It’s a weird habit and I bet she does it at the Halloween show. Come for the show (handful of tickets left), stay for access to her bedroom.
Also, hotel rooms deffo have phones!
Right? She’s gaslit me into doubting myself… have you seen phones in hotel rooms?

Tonight’s episode of Best Medicine is a tit special, Breast Medicine if you will.
This is a really special episode with incredible guests
@drlindseyfitzharris @sarahkerruish @talldarkfriend and Samantha Terry.
I’m so delighted @bbcradio4 is making space for these chats and comedy is the perfect vehicle for it. I already know from your messages this show is changing lives but I reckon it’ll end up saving them too.
You can listen on @bbcsounds and please rate and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. I really want a second series!
Tonight’s episode of Best Medicine had a big impact on me. There’s two medicines in this episode that I talk about endlessly and I always reference when I want to win people over and make them listen to the show. Thanks for all your lovely messages, I’m so glad people are enjoying the show.

💀Who wants to come on a ghost tour with us? 👻🍂
Brand new episode exploring #CastellCaeriw and #LlancaiachFawr drops today and we’re going to be honest with you, editing this episode was the most daunting, in case the mics had managed to pick up some other-worldly sounds…
Listen for yourself, if you dare!
We also stay at @topjoestownhouse and eat (and drink) at @blackpoolmill.

Listen, the name needs work BUT technology like this is going to save so many lives and I’m so glad that people like Prof Rebecca Fitzgerald exist.
You can listen to Best Medicine on @bbcsounds .
Episode 1 Series 3 of @whoyouwearingpod with @kiri_pritchard_mclean and we came to slay not play because our guest is the iconic @llewelynbowen .
A bucket list guest since day one this chat is everything you want it to be and more. Episode drops on Friday morning.
I’m so bloody honoured to part of @bbcradio4 ‘s exploding library this Sunday at 4.30pm.
Because I’m a philistine this book and author were new to me but I’m so glad this programme brought both into my life. Listen live or on @bbcsounds as I talk to experts (and my chicken) about Angela Carter’s Nights at the Circus.
Shout out to the amazing Leonie for being such a kind, supportive and imaginative producer.
Can anyone else hear a child laughing at the start of this clip…or is it just us?💀

My new fav topic of conversation? What type of tail would you have?
Tomorrow night at @newadelphitheatre we get to spaff out some new stuff.
@kiri_pritchard_mclean will be hosting and the line up is so good, a chef would absolutely kiss it
