I think only one person has got the reference to T.S. Eliot in my show.
It's quite easy to miss - it's a little section from the Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock. I fucking love that poem - I think it's possibly one of the best ever written.

If you've never read it, please do. There's a version of it here:

So, for anyone that's interested, the bit that's in my show is:

After the cups, the marmalade, the tea,
Among the porcelain, among some talk of you and me

'Prufrock' shows an obsessive involvement with the ephemera of life - the little details; in part it's about becoming so self-involved that you're incapable of interaction and communication...it seemed fitting for my show, which is about a lonely girl who clings onto little details and tries to organise things obsessively in order to feel some sense of control...

Yes, I did think about it. It's not just poo jokes.

I play the guitar at the beginning of my show now, instead of having pre-state music. I like doing that.

I might make some little puppets when I get back to London. Pinkleberry and Bumblelion need some new friends.

Bye for now x
