Jonno: Here Comes Mr Funny

Hello son. So you’re reading back your old man’s show blurbs, are ya? This one was for my first (and, sadly, best) show Here Comes Mr Funny way back in 2026! While I have your attention, if you find a way to travel back to the past, let’s have a same-age arm wrestle. I’d love to see who comes out on top. Can’t wait to defeat you. Can’t wait to conceive you. Yours, Dad.

Lara Ricote: INKLING

You know when stuff happens to you and you react in a certain way (read: cry) so then you lean in? To know thyself?

INKLING is a show about How to Salute to the Mystery of Being Alive (ok?). Might that be of intrigue...? To you? Big kisses to you and yours. Love, Lara.
