When we took Kom Ti Byin literally and flew from London to Finland for an epic adventure! 🇫🇮

As well as seeing KAJ live (and the @vorjeans of course!), we also visited an exhibition where you could wear costumes and see props from their musicals at the theatre where they performed them, explored Vaasa and Vörå and I basically fell more in love with Finland than I already am.

It’s safe to say that @humorgruppen.kaj has brought me so much joy lately. Thanks to @jakobnorrgard, @kevin__holmstrom and @axelahman, I have discovered beautiful places, found more musicals to listen to on repeat, met incredible people and learned to love music again 💚 taken in Vaasa, Finland by @elenicashell

When you’re in Redcliffe, you’ll never be alone ❤️

Words can’t fully describe how much I’ve loved running the socials for @redcliffemusical. The entire cast were insanely talented and kind, the director @paulfoste is a literal genius and the audience responses was beautiful on a daily basis.

I’ll never say no to working with my dream team, and this was no exception. @paul_taylor_mills thank you for trusting me yet again with a beautiful and important queer story. Your loyalty and generosity is something I’ll always appreciate, and your championing of new work like this is unprecedented.

The iconic @sita.mcintosh who continues to champion and believe in me, even when I don’t believe in myself. Your honesty, patience and guidance means more than you could ever know.

@jordanlukegage - I couldn’t have wished for a better person to work with. Your collaboration, creativity and kindness knows no bounds, and I learnt so much from you over the last few months. You have created an exceptional masterpiece, and I will miss our regular voice note brainstorms very much.

@beingbeckylock & @tjdouglaswelsh - I wish I could be in your orbit everyday. Whenever our paths crossed on this show, it was like sunshine entered the room.

Basically every single person who worked on this show was a dreamboat and I just want to work with them all again already.

And yes, this will be my next tattoo. taken in Southwark Playhouse by @elenicashell

Tonight was the @mysonsaqueer gala night and I’m full of happy emotions.

From the first time I saw this amazing show at The Turbine, I knew it was something special and I instantly fell in love with the Madge family. I bought the script book immediately after seeing it the first time, booked to see it again (and again), and saw it twice in Edinburgh.

Now I’m running the show’s social media accounts and my name is on the front of house at the Garrick.

I feel so privileged and honoured to help spread the word of @robmadge02’s incredible show. They are a beautiful and talented soul and deserve all the success they’re having and more.

Thank you @paul_taylor_mills for asking me to be on your team for this. I will be eternally grateful for every opportunity you have given me and for believing in me from day one. by @elenicashell

Last weekend I took my first ever Finland solo trip and travelled from London to Helsinki to see the incredible Änglagård at @svenskateatern ❤️

This show is beautiful, and despite not speaking a word of Swedish, I loved every single minute. I enjoyed it so much I saw it twice in one day!

Every single performer in this show is extraordinary and I can’t wait to return to see it again!

I was enthralled watching this incredible cast on stage. Seeing @jakobnorrgard shine on stage in a musical role was a real privilege to witness, and I was utterly captivated by @sannahnedergard, Birthe Wingren and @josefinsilen who gave gorgeous and heartbreaking performances as the female leads that will be with me for a long time.

@rikoeklundh, @nickelignell and Mikko Kauppila are masters in blending comedy and drama, and @tenoriteroharjunniemi had me utterly captivated from his first note.

This is a stunning show in one of the most beautiful theatres I’ve ever had the pleasure to visit, and I felt so lucky to be in that audience last week. taken in Svenska Teatern by @elenicashell

What a wonderful quest it’s been running the socials for @percyjacksononstage’s UK tour 💙

As someone with AuDHD, working on a show where the lead character is neurodivergent has been the biggest pleasure and honour, and seeing audiences connect with the story made my heart full.

Thank you to the entire cast for being so wonderful and up for any silly video idea I threw at them on content days. I always left laughing with a big smile on my face. Their talents were incredible to watch onstage and their kindness radiated offstage. I have to especially thank @ellouisedelooze, who was the best social captain I could ever have wished for.

@paul_taylor_mills & @bklproductions - Thank you for trusting me with this amazing show. I’ve had the best months working on it and I felt so privileged every time I posted something for you.

Bye Camp Half-Blood, hope to see you again soon! ⚡️ by @elenicashell

I freaking love working on Freaky Friday! 💖

While this may have been the only photo I got of myself the entire gala night, I think the smile on my face says it all.

From being in the rehearsal room to jumping on stage to film the company circles, this freaky journey has only just begun but I’m having the best time with the best people.

The entire cast are insanely talented, and watching them over the last few weeks has been a true privilege. The minute I met @jenapandya and @beingbeckylock at the photoshoot, I knew this was going to be a special show, but from my first moment in the rehearsal room I was blown away by the extraordinary talent of everyone there.

Being reunited with @herrdirektor has been the most joyous experience. This man has passion, kindness and talent throughout his soul, and his support for social has been so vital. He truly takes the Heathers message of making the world beautiful everywhere he goes.

@paul_taylor_mills - Thank you for trusting me once again with a show that may as well have been made for me. You opened the door to a career I never thought I could have many years ago, and I’m so grateful for you each and every day because I wouldn’t be where I am now without you.

@sita.mcintosh - the ultimate wingwoman and my inspiration since before we met, @bee_emery12 who I know has the brightest future, @reubenspeed whose talent knows no bounds and of course the ever wonderful @benjohnsoncreatives who radiates joy and support like nobody I’ve ever met. It truly is the ultimate dream team 💖 taken in HOME Mcr by @elenicashell

Our little trip to Helsinki to see KAJ ❤️

Back in May, I saw @humorgruppen.kaj on Eurovision and found my new favourite band. I delved into their back catalogue, fell in love with their musicals and listened to them pretty much every day. I don’t even speak their language and relied on subtitled videos to get the gist of the songs.

So Neil, being the amazing partner he is, took me to Helsinki to see them as a birthday present (and for a holiday too!).

It’s KAJ’s biggest gig to date, and it was without doubt, the best concert I’ve ever been to. I now own most of their merch stand!

Helsinki was beautiful and so we went on lots of walks, ate incredible food, and ended up in a Finnish nightclub. Best holiday ever.

Basically I’m now even more obsessed with KAJ and love Finland almost as much! taken in Helsinki, Finland by @elenicashell

A VERY late Edinburgh Fringe post! 😆❤️

To fulfil a dream of working the full month of the Fringe was as delightful as I thought it would be. The kindest teams, the best accounts and the most wonderful memories.

Running the socials for the first ever in-person Shedinburgh was something I’ll never be able to thank @chescmood enough for. @darcyjdobson, @thomberlain, @intelligentraccoon (who carried my suitcase up three flights of stairs like the legend she is) and the entire FMP team made me feel like part of the family and seeing them pretty much every day was glorious.

The Comedy Awards team, @ejbrunjes, @emily_savedtheday, @laurawfilm and @sorayaroseee were so warm and welcoming from day one, inviting me on nights out and making sure I never felt alone in Edinburgh.

And team @dmlkvideo and @andrewperrycouk not only created the most beautiful content I’ve ever seen, but were the friendliest faces to see - so much so that I wouldn’t let them leave the final night at Shedinburgh.

And the Nerds cast - what an exceptionally talented lot you are! Thanks @paul_taylor_mills and @kikistevenson for trusting me with this musical that may as well be made for me.

Huge thanks to the entire Shedinburgh, Nerds and Edinburgh Comedy Awards teams for making this summer the best one ever.

And yes, I’m wearing a Kaj shirt…it was a birthday gift…don’t judge me. taken in Edinburgh, United Kingdom by @elenicashell

My tattoo rule is that if I work on a show and have an unforgettably wonderful experience, then it gets inked. Kathy and Stella was always going to be my next tattoo.

I first saw Kathy & Stella Solve A Murder at the Edinburgh Fringe, so it’s only right that my next stagey tattoo is done here, while I’m having a blast with the Shedinburgh team.

Cake lit a fuse in my soul from the start 💖🔥

From the minute I saw the creatives and lead cast announced for the workshop tour, I wanted to be involved. Working on it once was a dream, working on it three times has been beyond my wildest dreams.

I have met the kindest, most talented people on every version of this show and made friendships that I hope will last a lifetime. It’s brought so much joy into my life and I’ll always be grateful for that.

The revolution has only just begun and I can’t wait to see what’s next for Cake 🔥 by @elenicashell
