My amazing, loving, tough, funny Dad passed away just before midnight last night. It was just me there and I was holding his hand, by his bed exactly where I have been since Monday night.
Anyone who knows me will know I haven’t just lost a superb Dad and a best pal, I’ve lost my biggest fan and champion. So many comedians know him because he’d come to gigs with me to hang out and watch. An Eighty year old Dad backstage at gigs is weird I know, but I adored hanging out and he loved the gigs so much. Nearly as much as he loved a t-shirt he didn’t pay for, braces and a fleece.
I know the reason I feel so much pain now is because of how loved I was and how proud he was of me. He loved his family so much and I’m reminding myself not everyone is as lucky as me to have that or to get to say goodbye. It was a beautiful goodbye and the team in Castle Douglas have made me weep with their kindness and love for him.
Lots of kind people have messaged me these last few days as they’ve sensed something was up. I know I haven’t replied to you and I’m sorry, you’re not alone but I also don’t know when I will want to talk and I know people need to know so that’s what this post is about. No need to message me, I know you love me and if you knew him you loved him too. Sorry I’ve been so absent, while I was next to him I haven’t known what to say or how to say it and if I used my hand to write a text I’d have to stop holding his and nothing was worth that.
Sorry for all the photos of him. That might not stop for a while. I’m so so proud to be his daughter and all I want to do is show him off and celebrate him which I think he would have loved.

Yesterday I had my first day easing back into work after my Dad dying last week (no need to post comments about him passing) and I couldn’t think of a better project to be a part of.
We’ve just recorded the third series of The Learners and I felt so lucky to held by these brilliant, kind people for the day.
Everyone in these pictures is talented and looked after me beautifully. I don’t really know what to post today, it’s my birthday too so a weird day, but I wanted to celebrate these fantastic folk.

I’m on your tele tonight if you fancy it?
I’m honoured to be hosting the Wales and West heat of the @bbcnewcomedy Awards. They took place in my beloved Bangor at @pontio_bangor . I love that the Awards hit parts of the country other tele just wouldn’t bother with.
The comedians at that heat are incredible, it was an honour to host and I can’t wait to watch the final. I’ve tagged them all so you can follow them. The episode is on iPlayer now and on TV on BBC Three tonight at 10pm.
Also, how mad is it that my @fumbalinas outfit looks a totally different colour in every picture?

Episode 2 of the brand new series of TV Flashbacks is on tonight at 8pm.
It’s a great episode that looks at Welsh Celebrities. Strap in for some Sir Tom and Maureen from driving school, quite the mix. The whole series is on @bbciplayer now if you fancy binging it.

Ho, Ho, Ho Legends, who fancies coming to a very special Christmas show? Well you need to make sure you’re on our mailing list (link in stories). It’s a tiny venue so we can meet you all but that does mean it’ll sell out fast. And we have a few more very special announcements coming up to celebrate our tenth year anniversary…. watch this space (mailing list).
I can’t be the only one who lives in a house essentially held together with idiosyncrasies and jinxes.
Anyone got anything more extreme than my water meter?
Are you on the mailing list? It’s a TINY VENUE so tickets will go quickly but, it means we can meet you all! I cannot wait.
Oh boy are you going to love this chat. Please get ready to spend a magical hour with @siobhni .
I’m on your tele tonight as part of @sidktv .
