After seeing the legend that is Bernard, I'm starting a petition to make dogs mandatory in every comedy green room.
Forget the rider. I don't need fancy water or exotic snacks. Just put a friendly dog in every green room and Read moreI'm happy.

There's no such thing as a stupid question. If people don't ask, they'll never know.
So here's my answer to a question I got asked recently: "Does cerebral palsy get worse as you get older?"
If you've got another question you've always Read morewondered about, drop it in the comments. It could be the next video.

I'm so excited to finally be able to say this...
The Cerebral Palsy Puppet is heading out on tour in Spring 2027.
It's been five years since my last UK tour, and I can't wait to get back on stage with a brand new show. This is probably my most personal show yet, butRead more don't worry, it's still packed with the jokes, stories and questionable life choices you'd expect from me.
If I'm coming to a theatre near you, I'd love to see you there. Some venues are quite intimate, so if you'd like to come along, I'd recommend booking sooner rather than later.
🎟️ Tickets are on sale from Friday 2 October at 10am via the link in the bio.

Being able to walk a few steps shouldn’t mean you’re denied the powered wheelchair you clinically need.
Lucy from Lulabelle’s Chronic Journey has launched a Parliamentary petition calling for NHS powered wheelchair provision to be based on clinical need, safety and independence, not Read moresimply whether someone can stand or walk.
She also wants to hear from other wheelchair users who have faced similar barriers.

Disability doesn't define your character. Your attitude does.
