Stage Fright Hulloween - 31/10/25
(Warning: very long and rambling!!!)
What a good time it was to see so many of my lovely mutuals at stage/fright last night, especially Halloween of all the nights!!! I dressed up as SPC Varney - all bloodied and fresh from a feed! 🙂 on top of that it was extra special to spot reece(!) whilst I was visiting Dinsdales avec @wintersoulwitch and the apparent reece radar™️ Sarah then afterwards as well?! He was RIGHT THERE!!!! He did say the tiniest hi but he was very quiet and didn’t want to be bothered—Obviously let him be - no pics etc but did giggle and squeal a bit. —Also at the time I was wearing a t-shirt with his face all over it 😅 zipped my jacket up sharpish sorry reece lovely!
Had to shuffle over to stage door to give reece a small Halloween gift - a mug - SO will keep my eyes peeled if it appears in any popping ons!! It’s got bats on it and it’s a decent size for tea. So he should like it — and even if he doesn’t get it someone will 🥰 (didn’t see him obvs it was pre show!)
Also saw Little Toby at one point who was pleased at our costumes as he should be! (I do wonder if he told the others about the mad gaggle of people all dressed up!!!) won’t share any pics of costumes other than my own in case no one wants them up here — will probs take mine down too tbh!
Lots of little references to Halloween in the show - we got a happy Halloween/Hulloween at the start, and when Steve did Reece’s ‘eulogy’ at the fake out ending he said it was Reece’s favourite night and to applaud for ‘Hull’s own!’ Reece 🫠 as he deserves— reece must have been buzzing bless him :’)
I am not good at remembering what is different between each show but for the first half it was soooo funny. The guest was John Shuttleworth (charade: join shut till birth - connecting two things together, shutting the tray of a till? then miming a fat belly and giving birth by sort of gesturing between the legs/pulling!)
John was so good at the improv bit, kept it going for ages, interacted with the audience when he was told to sit in place, sang two margarines, sang an extra song on the stair gag (pigeons in flight I believe?) before deciding reece and Steve “were morons”. The jokey answers from len were: Two tangerines, two magazines, something else I can’t remember oops. Celery gag went on for ages!!! Steve sort of skipped around with it in a circle???? Reece was giggling and said something along the lines of ‘you’ve not done that before!’. Sidenote: I love Steve as Len he’s such a dumb little boy and strangely feminine with it too 🫠 misguided maternal instincts go brrrrrr?
There was someone in the theatre lobby with a camera who QUITE RIGHTLY pointed it at @silverview who had an AMAZING Hugo costume on, and at me too a little bit (though whoever it was might not get much out of my machine gun rabbit in headlights giggling!)
Steve looked fit throughout - highlights including Goudron’s entire body, the braces Steve wears when he dies pre angel suit. High brow commentary over here. Fangs you have seen S/F many times, is this news to you now?
Perhaps. Perhaps it is. “We want a comprehensive report about the show!” You ain’t getting that from my dribbling gob; Reece looked fit Steve looked fit. The show was great. The end. x
Hull itself was so pretty and the people so welcoming, I wish I got to stay longer :’)))
The most magical wonderful experience. Onto Oxford with @silverview and @spcvarney and then Birmingham (and beyond? 👀). Who knows what will be in store…
Big loves and joy to @silverview @wintersoulwitch @fecklesheckleshacklesschmeckles @toosicktopray @ivegotchickenstofeed, Sarah, new friend @shirleydanders who was an uhhhhmazing empty orchestra Britney complete with tictacs!!!! @freeuselandonorris, @glasscushion the most eclectic funny wonderful and welcoming bunch of people— Hulloween was a joy but especially better with you!
Also a big thank you and cwtches to the darling duo @suege2333 and @misskite, the silent singer and Jeremy Goode!!! Got a gorgeous Reece print, a Halloween print, and a TLOG print from @suege2333, a ghost story print from @ivegotchickenstofeed and the official Hulloween bracelet from @silverview
I am feeling: loved and appreciated xxx ❤️
