This week I was speaking at Curio, the Viennetta of creative events - and what a treat it was to share a stage with such an interesting bunch.

Chris Leslie got us all thinking about Glasgow’s legacy through the lens of his photography.

Izzy Stott's drag meets clown meets bouffon performance introduced us to the disgruntled yet charming Günter. What a tonic.

Kaye Symington of Newspaper Club shared her infectious passion for all things print.

OhPanda and Conzo tag teamed their way through the story of how a street artist, iIllustrator, and signpainter founded Grateful Gallery.

And at the end of the night, Pearse O'Halloran of Wise Love studio regaled us with tales of his standup comedy days and his hilarious thoughts on thoughts.

As for me, I kicked off the event with my insights on making friends with chaos, intrusive thoughts about beansprouts, and my favourite ways to fanny about.

Curio is an event that celebrates curiosity and creative thinking, brought to you by Imaginary Friends. Give them a follow for news on upcoming events.
