Had a great time at the Quay Theatre Sudbury Suffolk on Friday 19th January! Thanks to everyone for attending,and the lovely feedback I received. A special thank you to all the staff who made sure the evening went off smoothly and professionally, especially to Jack Lawson who made sure everything from sound to lighting was perfect, front of house and bar staff, and Tom Lagden and Joe Fawcett behind the scenes in making the arrangements, and to Julie Moss of MENSA for inviting me to lovely Sudbury in the first place all those weeks ago!
