This morning my carer Anna pointed out that I’ve started ticcing the word ‘Salad’ quite regularly recently. This was making her laugh because it’s a much healthier alternative to ‘Biscuit’.

I’ve been ticcing ‘Biscuit’ for several years now and I say it so often it’s become part of who I am. In 2012 I wrote Welcome to Biscuit Land and our show last year at the Edinburgh Fringe festival was called Backstage in Biscuit Land.

So naturally I’m a little apprehensive about this unexpected shift in tics – ‘Backstage in Salad Land’ doesn’t have quite the same ring to it!

Talking of our show, we’ll be doing a one-off performance of it at the Tristan Bates Theatre in Covent Garden on Sunday 22nd February – so book now before it’s too late (or too healthy)!
