    It's the middle of December, I'm extremely late on this but nevertheless here it is November's edition of 'In Stitches' hope you enjoy! I've also got some posts lined up for the week of Christmas so keep posted for them along with an update on what's been happening in my life recently!

    So something I'm quite excited to read the reviews for is the release of the Twitter sensation 'Gus The Fox's book. If you don't already follow the quite crude and witty tweets of Gus I strongly recommend you go and do it, especially considering its the winter season and I'm sure he'll have some good things to say about the upcoming holiday. Like quite a few people, I found Gus through his interactions with Noel Fielding on Twitter and they've sparked a loving friendship, that loving that in fact Noel has agreed to write to foreword for the book featuring some of his own drawings which will be exciting to see! There is an interview up on TVO with Gus which you can see if you click right here, it's only short but it is an entertaining 10 minute read.

    Talking about Noel Fielding, news has landed that some of his artwork will be featured in LA, as part of a new exhibition all about cats (internal squeal!) the location is still wrapped in mystery but it will start on the 23rd of January for 8 days with all the profits going towards the Stray Cat Alliance. As a fellow cat lover and art enthusiast I strongly encourage you to pop down (once we know the location) and have a nosey and definitely donate generously because it's going to a great cause and will be a wonderful day out! I will extremely jealous of you everybody there.

    As a lot of people I'm a fan of Peep Show, secretly hoping for another series (although I don't think there will be) something else has fallen into our laps for Christmas and it's in the form of the radio. Six years ago, the Mitchell and Webb Sound graced the radio waves for 4 series but once again they've returned! In the new 4 part series you can listen to live on Tuesday's at 6.30pm on Radio 4, you can catch up any you've missed right here. Maybe we'll get news of a new series broadcast next year if all goes well with the reboot.

    And finally this month, Chris O'Dowd and James Franco will be hitting broadway together next year in a rendition of John Steinbeck's 'Of Mice And Men', both will be playing the two main characters George and Lennie. For those of you who haven't heard or read the novel before it explores the lives of George and Lennie who is learning-impaired while they get work together on the fields but end up in huge trouble. It will be 47 years since the novel was put on broadway so there will be high expectations for success and to ultimately live up to the novel (which I studied for two years and its really entertaining). It's set to start production in April and will run through to the end of July, tickets are not yet on sale but keep a look out if your interested.
