Happy 100th birthday Dick Van Dyke. The amount of joy he's given people through the decades is colossal. Adore him so much ❤️🎂

The phenomenally talented Duncan Walsh Atkins has written a new musical, and it's playing in January. Go see it if you can! He's incredible. The music he creates, whether it's improvised or written, always has huge intricacy, depth, & harnesses emotion beautifully 🎶 shaw-theatre.com/whats-on/nezha

Gosh I adore these two immensely. A really lovely video of Ian McKellen and Judi Dench talking about the new Shakespeare curriculum and their time together in Macbeth 50 years ago. The love they have for each other is so beautiful ❤️ youtu.be/smNK_S6zgF8?...

Spot the mega talented @showstoppermusical.bsky.social duo @andrewpugsley.bsky.social & @sueharrison123.bsky.social in this fantastic trailer for "Sherlock Holmes and the 12 Days of Christmas". Just look at all those beautiful costumes and sets! Go see them if you can! youtu.be/NcvOz9yR_Og?...

A drawing of my favourite facet of improv: Imagination. The brilliant improv company "The Pretend Company" have asked people "What is your favourite visual image, mental model or metaphor to explain a facet of improv?". I thought I'd draw what improv means to me as well as write it down ✏️

If you're near Birmingham, go and see utter wonders @andrewpugsley.bsky.social & @sueharrison123.bsky.social being incredible in Sherlock Holmes and the 12 Days of Christmas, starting tonight! I'm sure all at @showstoppermusical.bsky.social are so proud ❤️🖤 www.birmingham-rep.co.uk/whats-on/she...

This one is turning 11 years old this week. From a tiny fluff ball to a gorgeous, cuddly, cheeky, loving tortoiseshell cat. I adore our snuggles in the mornings. How can you want to get up when you have this purring next to you? I wish there was a way to pause time. Happy birthday, Tigs 🎂❤️

I'm bringing my solo show "Susan Harrison: Should I still be doing this?" to @leicscomedyfest.bsky.social. It's my first time at Leicester Comedy Festival and I'm really looking forward to it! I'll be at The Big Difference 13th Feb at 6pm 🐼

As well as the @showstoppermusical.bsky.social red phone, I also found a Lego cassette player. I adore the 80s so I had to get this one as well. The detail is impeccable. I've created a video of it with added sound effects at the end as if it were real 🎵 Time-lapse of the build is in thread below.

"It's the producer!" ☎️ Found this Lego red phone that reminded me of @showstoppermusical.bsky.social so I had to get it. It's beautifully made. I've created a video of it with the one and only @dylanmarkemery.bsky.social 's voice in the background. The time-lapse of the build is in the thread below.

Over the moon with next year's Improvathon theme - the 80s are the best 📺📼💾 If you're able to go, you'll have the most magnificent time. It's very rare to see so many phenomenal improvisers from around the world on one stage. It's storytelling paradise 🌟 www.pleasance.co.uk/event/london...

It was this beautiful boy's birthday the other day. My best bud. The most affectionate rescue dog. He's grown within himself so much. The strength he gives me is immeasurable. He's allowed me to fully appreciate nature, the value of a moment, and to have proper meaningful fun. He's extraordinary 🎂❤️

Sixth and final pumpkin carving of the year: "You shall not pass!" Gandalf and the Balrog from Lord of the Rings 🎃🧙‍♂️

This is a really lovely behind the scenes video of the @comedystoreplayers.com 40th birthday photoshoot. It's beautifully made & encapsulates the essence of the company wonderfully. @ruthbratt.bsky.social @leesimpson.bsky.social @neilmullarkey.com @richardvranch.bsky.social youtu.be/62f9ijwMsWA?...

Third pumpkin carving of the year: the TARDIS 🎃🌌

I recently came across this extraordinary acting masterclass with the incredible Samuel West of a scene from Twelfth Night. It's utterly fascinating and allows you to see the words in a brilliant new light. I've been geeking over it 🎭 youtu.be/VQE2HhkweyE?...

#comedystoreplayers40 happy birthday to us

My second pumpkin carving of the year: a ghost ship and a lighthouse, inspiration from @showstoppermusical.bsky.social story called "The Shore-Shank Redemption" where a lighthouse spotted a ghost ship ⛵️🎃 @dylanmarkemery.bsky.social @andrewpugsley.bsky.social

First pumpkin carving of the year: Smaug's eye, from The Hobbit 🎃 Time-lapse of the process in thread below 🎥

When I got to my neighbours house today to walk Merlin, I found this waiting for me. I knew he was clever but I didn't know he could go into shops and buy food! Thank you Merlin ❤️🐶

So happy for @showstoppermusical.bsky.social legends @andrewpugsley.bsky.social & @sueharrison123.bsky.social being cast in "Sherlock Holmes and The Twelve Days of Christmas" at Birmingham Rep! You'll both be utterly magnificent. Hope you have enormous fun 🤩 www.birmingham-rep.co.uk/news/full-ca...

This Thursday I'm doing a gig with these absolute legends of improv comedy; @josielawrence.bsky.social, @ruthbratt.bsky.social, Cariad Lloyd and Patti Stiles! How exciting. There might be some tickets left if you fancy it 🤩

Treated myself to a @showstoppermusical.bsky.social day, with a matinee show of "Tent!" (6th August 2018) from the Showstopper DVD, and an evening show of "Tinker Traitor Smoulder Spy" livestream (16th November 2020). Thank you Stoppers for always being there to make us smile ❤️🖤

There's only one person who should play Beetlejuice and that's the phenomenal @andrewpugsley.bsky.social - he'd be incredible! Whenever Beetlejuice is suggested in @showstoppermusical.bsky.social Andrew always channels the voice perfectly 🤩

The other day I met Huckleberry the Highland cow who lives at our local rescue centre. This was my first time seeing a Highland cow in person. So beautiful and gentle. A very wholesome moment ❤️

"A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes...A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, clever or dull...Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare, and pure, and special?" Love you, Merlin ❤️

The live episode of the @showstoppermusical.bsky.social podcast has put a huge spark in my day. Utterly wonderful. Duncan's unfathomable talent in the quiz section was just something else. He never ceases to amaze me 🎹

Had a great time doing the Edinburgh Fringe! Thanks so much to the lovely audiences who came during the month. It was a fun ride! Hoping to do the show one final time in London so stay tuned 👀

In just 8 short days, on Saturday Sep 06 at 2000hrs, GTI will be at Hooplaimpro.com at The Miller, London SE1 3SS, and will take the form of @showstoppermusical.bsky.social regulars @dylanmarkemery.bsky.social and Ali James, plus special guest, L.A. Impro legend, Dan O‘Connor. Also, me.

Wishing the impeccable @showstoppermusical.bsky.social a fantastic last show of the #edfringe tonight! How special to create a different improvised musical every night, to be transported into each story, and fly through every song. I hope all the Stoppers had a lovely time and big love to them ❤️🖤

It's my FINAL show tonight! Last chance to come and ask questions to the little girl in a well or be confronted by a panda from the 90's or speak to a Sindy Doll. "Susan Harrison: Should I still be doing this?" 7.40pm @gildedballoon.bsky.social

A selection of a few nice audience reviews for my show. It means a lot to me that people enjoy the interaction & find it fun, this is my goal! If you want to come and play there are 4 more chances to see 'Susan Harrison: Should I still be doing this?' at Gilded Balloon, Appleton Tower 7.40pm

I've been rewatching The Hobbit trilogy lately. They are such fantastic films, outstanding performances throughout, and really stunning costumes and props. Even though some things are changed from book to film, they play so well in film format. I adore Middle Earth immensely 🍃🗡❤️

Here's the trailer for Susan Harrison: Should I still be doing this? Playing @gildedballoon.bsky.social until 24th August. Link in bio for tickets!

Yearly tradition of seeing my favourite plane flying over. The Lancaster 😍📷 Taken on my camera with 1/200 shutter speed to enable the propellers to appear blurry.

My favourite people being utterly wonderful up at the #edfringe ! Pippa, Justin, and @dylanmarkemery.bsky.social were on Newscast BBC Sounds, bringing some much needed joy to the daily news. I love seeing all the @showstoppermusical.bsky.social photos and videos from the fringe so far ❤️🖤

So happy for @oliversenton.bsky.social , he is truly phenomenal! Any production is extremely lucky to have him. And so brilliant to see more Shakespeare plays being made accessible for younger audiences 🎭

If anyone is in need of a captioned performance at #edfringe , the impeccable @showstoppermusical.bsky.social have one on 13th Aug, with the extraordinary Claire Hill! She brilliantly live captioned the Stopper livestreams & Alternative Eurovisions in lockdown 🙌 www.pleasance.co.uk/event/showst...

This is a really lovely, heartfelt write-up from the utter wonder @sueharrison123.bsky.social - delving into the ups and downs of the #edfringe and how improv always comes to the rescue. I'm so delighted that audiences are loving her show ❤️ susanharrison.substack.com/p/improv-for...

So incredibly excited for this! @showstoppermusical.bsky.social podcast is being live recorded again! I adore the previous Live episode from 2019. Hope you all have humongous fun recording it & hope you're all having a brilliant time up at #edfringe so far! ❤️🖤 www.pleasance.co.uk/event/showst...

"Gordon's Big Bald Head" is playing again this year at the Edmonton Fringe. I adore this beautifully imaginative show.
