OK, so you've written something.Well done. *light applause*That's nice.But the next stage - getting it out into the world... that's a really tricky bit.However... one sure fire way of doing that, if you can't persuade some other mug to do it for you, is to blummin'-well slap on some grease paint, don some tights and perform it yourself, on what we call...... the stage.Well that's what Jon and his wife Katie did with their play How to be The Perfect Couple.A project you may remember from earlier episodes (Such as S1 Ep10 - 30mins in - where Jon first reveals the logline of the show.)And now....Will you look at that!Years later, the play has finally come to fruition and a tour is in progress.If you like the sound of it, you can catch Jon & Katie at:Alton Arts festival 10th July:https://wegottickets.com/event/696218Also at Buxton Fringe on the 14th 15th & 16th of July:https://www.buxtonfringe.org.uk/descriptions2026.htmlAnd at Seven Arts in Leeds on the 12th of September:https://www.sevenleeds.co.uk/event/how-to-be-the-perfect-couple-2/Have a listen to the episode and learn how it all went down, including the rather meta reveal of how Jon & Katie managed to stay a couple during the process.And while we're on the subject of relationships..... we should mention Relate.
