Schaskin/Schuskin
I'll be playing in Launch Pad with James Haskin tonight. Come see us at the Miller

We've never done a scene together, so you can see our first ever 15 minutes!

This month marks my first show in Knightmare Live, a show that I've been a total fangirl of for the last two years. If you remember Knightmare you can work out the live show, if you haven't, and you like dungeon crawling and comedy, you should totally come. We have a big poster on the South Bank and everything.Book HERE (I'll be playing 8th & 16th)
