This is a small segment of my old work colleagues captured in puppet form. I left a 10 year career as a performing arts lecturer a month ago, and made sure I satirised the senior management sufficiently before departing. These puppets starred in a show entitled 'Ubu Arsehole' - he is the two-headed creature far left.

I had a 'hat-phase' when I was a year old. Wore a hat to bed, in the bath, basically everywhere. I'm still in love with hats, but I think my tastes have improved. Unfortunantly I don't own the pictured hat, it is from the National Theatre costume hire warehouse in South London - a veritable wonderland!

Yes..., I'm a burlesque performer, but I see it more as an extension of the clowning work I had been doing for years before trying burlesque. I call it 'clowning with tits.' This is a photo of the first act I made in 2010 - Lolly Poppins - it's still my most popular act.
The stern look I employ as Mary Poppins is well-practised from all those years of teaching teenagers!
