[Ad- gifted experience]Â The Sarah McGuinness Story is a very personal musical cabaret, a completely one-person show, about Sarah McGuinness’ life, played by her. We went to see this show in The Circle & Star Hampstead, which is a small venue, attached to a pub – and it was packed. The venue being super intimate and sort of filled to the brim did feel right for this type of performance, in a lot of ways.

When Claire invited me to see The Guild, as apart of the MTFest UK, I wasn’t really sure what to expect.

[Ad- gifted experience] The Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch is one we frequent. They’ve got a single stage, where they put on fantastic shows. There is a bar outside the stage, along with a cafe on the other side, and plenty of seating while you wait for the show to begin. This time, we went along to see Loot – a take on Joe Orton’s classic dark farce, though we hadn’t heard of it before.
[Ad- gifted experience] Amelia has been getting into collecting Pokemon Cards, so we’ve had our eye on more events around our area. We’ve gone to a few card shows in our town, but hadn’t been to one of the medium or large sized card shows, so when we were invited to the London Card Show at Esher Sandown Racecourse, we wanted to see what it was all about!
[Ad- gifted experience] It’s not the first year that I have attended the Pokemon Europe International Championships, which is a huge, overwhelmingly Pokemon focused event that happens at the Excel each year. As this year is the 30th anniversary of Pokemon, there was an even bigger buzz than usual as the event was coming up. I am very much into Pokemon, running a local Pokemon Go community (that’s officially partnered with Niantic) and I’ve written about Pokemon events as a member of the press for quite some time – so I wasn’t going to miss this event which was a stone’s throw away from my town!
