I have, on a couple of occasions. I don’t go in for it too often; I’m told I have good pitch and a good voice, but I’ve enough musical knowledge to know I’m only a basic rock standard singer. That said, I’ve been in three musicals, all original comedies, with singing, acting and choreography, though all outside of comedy festival. I’ve sung for the Anarchist Guild once or twice, and also appeared in the last couple of Trade Aid musical fundraisers, singing songs by They Might Be Giants and Prince. (I didn’t get a guernsey for Bowie this year – I’m told they’ve got a lot more serious musical boffins, so I can’t wait to see the line up!)

I do harbour vague dreams of the band I was in reforming, since we never played an actual gig; we sang acoustic covers of cartoon theme songs. I’d also love to write and perform a science-themed cabaret show, but I would want it to be good, so I’d need some training and would probably hit up my musical comedy buddies for some help!

Thanks for reading! I’m looking forward to seeing your show this year.
