The past few weeks have been beautiful.

I got surprised with the gift of Jill Scott by @jose_da_hype.

I’ve celebrated my beautiful friend @katecheka preparing to bring life into the world.

Performed in beautiful places with some of my favorite people like @mrnishkumar, @reubenkayeofficial and @zach_zucker.

I saw my name in my local tube station thanks to @shedinburgh_fest (plz come to the @youngvictheatre next Friday, I wanna make a good impression on @francesca_moody_productions).

I’ve been slaving away on Canva, which I actually do not enjoy. Plz if you are a graphic designer and can help @focitupcomedy, we need you. The monster collage at the end took HOURS.

I made a fruit cake for my flatmate Sarah, which was really nice because it reminded me that I like to make things.

I’ve worked out with @holisticcoachjesse, who is a goof ball I highly recommend.

I been eating snacks on trains.

I got to work on a cool set with my girl @pravanyapillay69 and the icons at @norollsbarred.

I been putting that shit on per usual - btw big thanks to @winifredroseclothing for the gift of the floral sequin pants, please check them out.

Life is complicated and up and down but ultimately lovely. Here’s to more living 🌻

alright lets do this… a gorgeous fringe was had this year 💫 I truly feel very lucky to have not only survived but somehow thrived eight months pregnant in this absolute carnage of a festival… 🎡🎪

I am so grateful to so many people lemme see if my baby brain can remember who

first I wanna thank @thevoodoorooms they were truly a venue of dreams, their staff are stunning angels that made going in everyday a dream 🪽

thanks @withstevemclean and @thefreefringe for getting me the room and your support to make my fringe as easy as could be while pregnant and for your quite frankly revolutionary free fringe which means mama actually made money for her baby 💸

the biggest thanks to my friend of seven years @amateurcomedian who did a phenomenal job directing my show (and charging me nothing for it) and them and their boyfriend @dyl.amh for putting me up and then letting me stay far longer than our initial arrangement. I will feel weird not waking up in your living room tomorrow and seeing you both every day 🥲

shoutout also to my gay dad @_andy_bolton and his bf for having me for the first week and making my birthday cake 🎂

thank you to my emotional support tech @chloejacobslol 🌝 who kept me sane every day and laughed every time I added a new joke - she is hilariously funny please follow her

and to @lailawoozeer_ and @willowraynor227 who picked up the slack for the final shows 🪅

thanks for all the lovely reviews from national newspapers 📰 !!!! to audiences members and friends of friends

thanks to the @thecvntyawards for my first fringe award for MOTHER I could not be more honoured 🏆 and thanks to all my many many friends, performers and otherwise who invited me to do gigs, kept me sane and came with me to the beach, for walks, for drinks and who flew in or drove up, idk I don’t have more pictures of us but know I love you 💛

and finally THANK YOU TO EVERY AUDIENCE MEMBER THAT CAME TO MY SHOW it truly meant the most that so many of you showed up, took a punt on me and were present with me in what was one of the most difficult shows to perform… if you’ve seen the show you know it’s the end for now but something else will come soon 💫 (cont. in comments)

Big things coming, big cameras rolling ✨👀🎥

Took an impromptu trip to Edinburgh bc my horoscope told me to

But mostly to hang out with @kemahbob at Edinburgh Fringe… and see her comedy special “Love Child,” live and in person (A project and human I’m so fcking proud of and had the honor of helping bring to life.)

And stayed at a cool hotel and took an elevator selfie

Then I hung out at @shedinburgh_fest where Kemah hosted @focitupcomedy feat. @longbrophy @justsydbw @joyellenicole & @aishaamanduri

This is rlly just a @kemahbob lovebomb post at this point 🫶🧡

@mekasocial and I had the best time boppin’ around reminding everyone that we’re New Yorkers ✨🗽

Got a new pair of YSL sunnies and thought you all should know

Hung out w @mrnishkumar who is the ultimate homie, and got to see his AMAZING show. (Which is now on tour in the UK and a MUST SEE)

Loved talking about how tired we all were. Edinburgh Fringe, sponsored by @redbull ™️

Got 4 more holes in my ears, which my mother informed me was a breach of contract that I signed when I was 7

Booked more last minute flights so @abbylacy11 and I could have a fun, witchy nyc adventure. (Exhibit A: The Tarot Exibit)

Filmed some more really exciting stuff w my best friend @a.a.brenner 👀🌈 (Dir. @benhirschhorn + shot w dream team @jessiehirschhorn @sundropshere @dev.levy )

Lost a lotto card!

Brook and I got glutened at dinner w Dad @brookmdiamond @ericurologymd

Against all odds, @abbylacy11 and I made it to the Jonas Brothers after my GPS took us to the wrong Madison Square Garden. There are not two.

Did some serenading with my new favorite song… and in classic Danielle fashion, switched around some lyrics 😏🌈

Celebrated my two favorite Leos @laujeanmarie & @waywardgrrrrl 🎂🎶🦁

And last but certainly not least, slumber partied with @dev.levy and Bruce (who really needs to get an ig already!) 🐈
