Hi Polis, I'm so sorry you've had such a difficult year. There seems no logic sometimes as to who 'makes it' and who doesn't. It certainly doesn't always seem related to talent or merit. People who say you've just got to keep going, or do it for yourself because it's something you love doing, have no idea, I mean, what is the point in shouting into a void? Unfortunately, social media has facilitated so much free art, that people now expect it for nothing, and stuff that is free is never valued. AI is only going to feed that demand. I hope you find a form/ platform this year that fulfills you, with less self-promotion required, and a decent level of remuneration that satisfies you. I hope 2025 is the year for your star to rise. 💕

As one of those dozen, I was very happy to see you perform your new show. I understand not wanting to rest on past laurels, but I wouldn't want to see you give up entirely. Happy to chat about maybe alternative ways or formats your one man shows could take, if that's of interest? Chin up ❤️ and happy new year.
