Re-bleached, coloured, and cut my hair. It's taken years off me.
I still look old. Just not quite as old as I did. 😂
I'm on the committee here at #HarehillsLabourClub. Big thanks to @leedslivenews for featuring us as we go through some difficult times. We won't go down without a fight though!

Not long left to book yourself onto this mini-course. Give yourself the gift of a toolbox for producing. We all have projecta we want to get off the ground, and often we just need the confidence and the knowledge to drive us forward. All the details are at leonfleming.co.uk/workshops
I'm looking forward to this special @EquityRadioShow on @bcbradio hosted by guest presenter #LeeThompson. It will be going out on 29 November at 1pm, but before then email Lee if you have a song request or anything you want on the show. 😃

Here’s the epic Jimmy Somerville utterly rinsing the LGB Alliance.
Never forget that the @AllianceLGB is an anti-trans, hard right hate group based out of 55 Tufton Street.
I've rediscovered a few one-person pieces I wrote quite a while ago that have never seen the light of day - a self-contained piece about a male sex worker down by the canal, and a piece that's essentially about me as a child in the miner's strike which was part of 1/2
Had a lovely time this morning chatting with one of my favourite people, @cherylalaska Artistic Director of @redladder and playwright @HenryRoberts about the tour of his fantastic play #CloseEnoughToTouch. You can hear our chat on @EquityRadioShow on @bcbradio this Sunday at 1pm!
Very excited to be attending the press night of #PeanutButterAndBluberries at @leedsplayhouse tonight! Big love to @thebrownhijabi, #SameenaHussain, the cast, crew, and entire team behind the production!!

So proud of my boy.
Still only 22, & tonight he launches his first range of athleisure wear… designed by himself!
It’s called matchr.
You can find it on instagram on the link below.
Please share if you like what you see. 🤞

I’ve written an open letter (found IN the link below) in my attempt to help #SaveSquareChapelArts (Halifax) & managed to get a group of well-known pals to back my cause. 🙌
I’d be enormously grateful if you could read the letter & repost. 🙏🏻
Many thanks x

There's only one of the accessibly-priced places available now, and once it's gone it's gone,. There are still standard-priced places available, and still time to apply for micro-funding to cover it if you can find a source of micro-funding.
Only 20 spaces max on my Small-Scale Producing for Playwrights (and Others!) workshops in Leeds this December, and only a couple accessibly-priced places left. Make sure you're ahead of the game in 2027 with the tools you need to make things happen. leonfleming.co.uk/workshops

From WGGB: Constant drip-feed of info about one BBC cut after another is seriously damaging morale across industry. We need more urgency from Gov't in its response to what is happening to our key public service broadcaster + our wider creative industries

If anyone wants to listen to my short report on the @BradfordTheatre Alhambra panto press launch, which went out on @bcbradio 's Bradford and Beyond show on Friday 16 October, you can hear it here around 47 minutes in.

I live in Harehills, and @MothinAli's actions in the disruption were to clear burning pallets from the street, work with young people to discourage damage, and in the aftermath organise a unity meeting of local residents which I attended. I'm glad the lies were rejected in court.

Had a wonderful afternoon chatting with the stars of this year's @BradfordTheatre Alhambra panto, including a lovely long chat with comedy legend @1BillyPearce. Hear my initial report on @bcbradio #BradfordAndBeyond tomorrow from 4pm, with full interviews - and maybe even... 1/2
... a full show as well! - aired as we come into panto season!
Big thanks to the lovely team at @BradfordTheatre, and the fantastic people I spoke to: #MyaLouiseFenton, @jamiejohnDQ, @ryanjamesthomas, #MyraDubois, and @1BillyPearce! x 2/2
On my way to Bradford to cover the @BradfordTheatre #AlhambraTheatre panto press launch (Oh yes I am!) for @bcbradio 😄 #ThePantomimeAdventuresOfPeterPan
