Review of Loves Me/Loves Me Not by Glam Adelaide’s Arts Editor, Brian Godfrey. JC Clapham had a big hit here last Adelaide Fringe with a show called Humpty Dumpty Daddy. After seeing his latest Fringe show, Loves Me/Loves Me Not, I wish I could have seen that one as well. This reviewer came out of…

Falling down means the opportunity to get back up again
Pretty chuffed to be this month’s featured profile in my local community newspaper. I mention having a breakdown mid-2016. Because I did. And I feel no shame about that. A lot has changed since then. I’m no longer an award-winning senior executive (at present). I’m no longer married. And I’m less certain of what my…

Review: LOVES ME / LOVES ME NOT
Review of Loves Me/Loves Me Not by Vera Poh of Melbourne Arts Review. JC Clapham tells us quite a lot of stories in his new story-telling comedy, many of them funny, some of them poignant, all of them heartfelt.

Where should I take my show HUMPTY DUMPTY DADDY?
Depression and suicide are far too common, particularly amongst men in regional areas. My father lived in regional Victoria, and he became a statistic. I was living in regional Victoria when I nearly became a statistic myself. I’m keen to hear suggestions on where my storytelling show HUMPTY DUMPTY DADDY, which tells of my dad…

HUMPTY DUMPTY DADDY in Darwin
In mid-July, I spent three days in Darwin to do my storytelling show HUMPTY DUMPTY DADDY as part of the Darwin Fringe Festival. I learned a lot from that festival and those audiences. About the show itself and about me, too. I know more about what the show HUMPTY DUMPTY DADDY is. It’s a weird…

Radio interview: ABC Darwin
ABC Radio Darwin interviewed me about my show HUMPTY DUMPTY DADDY, which I delivered at the Darwin Fringe Festival. I really enjoyed the conversation with the lovely Rebecca McLaren. We spoke about the show, my father’s suicide, and how I talk to my own children about mental health. Here’s the ABC summary and a link…
