Lord, the cross means more than your crucifixion, it includes me sticking the nail into my selfish flesh life.
I have been crucified with you Jesus (Gal 2:20)

What an incredible honour to preach at KingsGate Peterborough today.

I am loving touring my latest Edinburgh Fringe show. Hundreds have been having a giggle. Keep your eyes open to see if it’s happening anywhere near you!

Two fully grown men trying to make a group of evangelists laugh. If you are an evangelist then get yourself booked in to the conference, hosted by and then you get to see these two lovely faces as well!

Absolutely loving being at the evangelists’ conference. Fantastic sessions.

I set a goal to run three 5ks a week for 100 weeks. Today, the last day of the year I completed week 100.

Set good goals for 2026

We are celebrating my Dad’s 80th birthday.
He is a man of God who has shown me how to love and serve Father God. I love him dearly.

First outing for my latest Edinburgh Fringe show at the Roses theatre in Tewkesbury. A fantastic night 🙏🏼

It’s not often you meet someone on your intellectual level.

Well, Edinburgh Fringe 2025… that’s a wrap. Another sold out night to end my run. It’s been an amazing week. We’ve had a lot of laughs and plenty of people have wandered in randomly to see this weird Scottish bloke and heard a message they possibly weren’t expecting. Massive thanks to those who have come to see the show and those that have supported and cheered me on.

I’m in Edinburgh. Pilot shows are done. Tech rehearsal is done. There’s no backing out now. Opening night tomorrow…

My last pilot show is done. It’s been so good (and a little humbling) to try out new material before the Edinburgh Fringe. A guy had wondered in who’d had a bit to drink. Amongst the heckles he also said he thought I was funny and would be great at the Fringe. I’ll take it.
