Hosting

In January I hosted the AARP Movies For Grown Ups awards for the fourth time, at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles in January. It was broadcast on PBS

In May I hosted the BAFTA TV awards in London, follows by the Clio awards for advertising in NYC a few days later.

I guest hosted the Jimmy Kimmel show on Monday 21st July and caused quite a furore with my opening monologue in which I addressed the anti-trans rhetoric and persecution that is rife in America. The cast of the Fantastic Four and Pamela Adlon were the guests I interviewed.

Finally in November I hosted the SLTN (Scottish Licensed Trade News) awards in Glasgow.

Winter Words

Winter Words is the literary festival that takes place every winter at Pitlochry Festival Theatre. In 2025 this would be the first thing happening in the theatre since my appointment as Artistic Director so I was determined to make sure it was a doozy and act as a signal for what was to come in my full season of plays and also in the general spirit of how I wanted things to be at PFT. So I curated it and also DJ’d a big party on the Saturday night and invited the whole town!
