Thought I might take today to reintroduce myself…

Bobby Harding (they/he/she) is a Walsall-born hard-of-hearing queer freelance theatre & live-arts producer.

What you can pay me to do:
- Write ACE bids
- Manage or produce a project
- Consult on applications/project plans
- Create budgets
- Facilitate/plan workshops or community events
- Lead workshops

This is of course alongside being a darkroom pianist, musical director, social media manageress & performer ✨

In love with these pics @stephaniesiansmith took of me for my website 📸🥹

“We just want to live.”

But instead, trans people are met with fear, abuse and silence.

No one should have to exist like that.

“The perfect send up of the one-woman show” ★★★★ The Guardian

“Nothing short of a five-star triumph” ★★★★★ Diva Magazine

“Hilarious from start to finish” ★★★★★ Theatre Weekly

I don’t claim to be a poet but I do claim that writing about how you feel helps.

12 years today since mum passed and I’m feeling more confused than ever. I’m sure I’m not discovering the mysteries of the universe by saying that grief is a physical thing. It’s something that rises up from a chemical, biological place - the same place that hunger or ‘I need to change my wardrobe’ comes from. It’s circannual like a migration and it is part of my fabric.

I want to move forward making a promise to myself that I am going to honour this cycle. I’m going to accept that January 15th is not going to be a clean 24-hours that I have to get through. That there is a run up and a come down and I want to acknowledge the whole experience. That this is part of the package with terminal illness and I don’t have to pretend like it isn’t.

I wanted to write this poem to try and capture how the this day seems like a normal day to other people and a bloody battle to me.

So this is for anyone who has lost someone (especially their mum) and wants to fight less and feel more.

Omg 2025!!!

I moved house. I got a job (not freelance) doing what I currently do as a freelancer (part-time) so I can still make shows but can also pay rent.

I went to therapy! I started talking about how I think/feel/act to try and understand why I think/feel/act so I can become more at peace with how I think/feel/act. Self-acceptance, despite it all, is IN!

I joined the team at London Trans+ Pride working in their fundraising team. Insanely proud to be in this fight.

I protested with my sisters.

I graduated?!?!?! Well, sort of. I never went to my graduation but working at LAMDA has its perks (I got to slip in before the students at graduation and get a pic in my old uni robes which dad now has on a very high and distinguished shelf…right up there with the good vases).

I produced a show which then went on to tour the country (WTF?!) at a time when making theatre feels impossible.

And I got to grow ever closer to my wonderful, handsome, brilliant partner.

Some more 2026 ins: wearing a helmet, marmite on everything, handmade gifts, sending post, calling someone to chat, cash.

Really looking forward to what next year has in store and can’t wait to bring you all with me 🫶🫵
