When my friend and vocal coach Mandy Bell made a donation to my page and challenged me to do stand-up comedy, I don’t think she thought I’d actually do it! But you know me by now. I’m not one to shy away from a challenge unless it’s too expensive or totally beyond my...

The very first challenge I was set back in July 2021 was from my friend Launa. She requested that I ask someone out for a coffee or a drink. She didn’t just mean anyone; this had to be a man – a man with dating potential. Oh heck! I make notoriously bad decisions when...
