This week’s episode of Nonsense in the Chaos is the first of a two-part offering, born from a rich, two-hour conversation with my dear friend and fellow fool, Howard Gayton. We properly connected during a 500-mile pilgrimage from London (or, as Howard rightly points out, Henley) to COP26 in Glasgow—though in truth, we stopped walking in Edinburgh.

Howard Gayton has worked for over thirty years as a theatre director, performer, and teacher specialising in Commedia dell'Arte and other forms of mask theatre, as well as puppetry, foolery and folk drama. His work is inspired by all manner of mythic tricksters, zanni figures and sacred clowns, as well as by the use of masks in drama and sacred rituals the world over.

In this deliciously layered chat, we explore the Trickster archetype through the lens of fooling, drawing on the historical threads of Commedia dell’Arte and the slapstick world of Punch and Judy. I could have talked to Howard forever—and very nearly did. I hope you enjoy our creative musings.

In this week’s episode of Nonsense in the Chaos, I explore the idea that we each hold the power to shape our own reality. Using the metaphor of a single pixel in a vast image, I delve into how tending to your own light—your energy, your choices, your presence—can influence not only your personal world but the collective picture we’re all creating together. This episode invites you to reflect on how to make your pixel shine as brightly and vibrantly as possible, and how, in doing so, you open the door to manifesting any reality you can imagine.

You’re in for a real treat this week with the utterly gorgeous Nessi Gomes. Born and bred in Guernsey, Nessi is of Portuguese descent and a stunning singer- songwriter. Channelling influences from both sides of her ethnicity, Nessi blends the essence of the traditional, emotional and 'larger than life' Fado folk music of Portugal with British contemporary inspiration. Nessi makes music from the heart and the guts. If you’ve never heard of her before then go have a listen to Nessi’s work before tuning in to today’s podcast. Then sit back and enjoy the wisdom and insights Nessi has to offer. Our chat was an absolute delight and I can’t wait to share this week’s Nonsense in the Chaos with you. Enjoy!

As Neptune enters Aries for the first time in 165 years, the sooner we sit back comfortably in our thrones of power and calmly and collectively claim our sovereignty, the better off we are going to be. Not to take our place as violent tyrants, but as self assured, content, higher versions of ourselves. Our biggest, brightest, bravest versions. This is freely available at any given moment and opens up the possibility of re-pairing with our twisted twins. 

But claiming your sovereignty isn’t always easy. It asks us to question, to challenge, and to risk stepping outside of the narratives we’ve been handed. It’s a pilgrimage in itself—one that requires courage, clarity, and a willingness to be seen as you truly are.

I met Rebecca at the Academy of Creative Training in 2005 while studying acting. Drama school was a joy, and we shared a fantastic cohort. Since then, I’ve admired her fearless exploration of creativity as rebellion, pushing the boundaries of theatre, movement, and the body.

A multidisciplinary performance artist, music maker, and cabaret clown, Rebecca infuses her work with surrealism, playfulness, and connection. Her alter-ego, Frieda Love, launched a "revoLOVEtion" in 2017, using neo-burlesque, clowning, and physical storytelling to challenge perceptions of female bodies and movement. Lately, she’s been diving into Butoh and Gaga techniques, making dance inclusive for all body types.

Her work is also deeply tied to nature. In 2019, she lived in the Pyrenees on a dance residency, letting the land shape her movement. She sees theatre and dance as ways to rewild the body, stepping back into something instinctual and real. And she has just completed a residency in Colombia where she created the sharing ‘Listen, I love you, Joy is coming.’

A witch in training, herbalist wannabe, and best friend to the moon, Rebecca’s work is radical, playful, and unique. 

Follow her @frieda_love_ 

I can’t wait to have her on Nonsense in the Chaos to talk about silliness as resistance and movement as magic!

🎧 Come and listen. Let’s get moving. Let’s get silly. Let’s rewild ourselves.

This week, we’re diving into the quiet power of disruption. How do the smallest acts of resistance ripple out into wider change? How can challenging complicity in our everyday lives—our words, our choices, our silences—shift the larger systems we exist within? From the personal to the political, we explore how breaking patterns on the micro level can transform the macro.

Join me as we unravel the ways we’re conditioned to conform, and how we can reclaim agency, one small act of defiance at a time.

The ‘Witchfool are You? Course’ starts in May. Email [email protected] for more information.

Dan is a fascinating fellow, filled with curiosity and a love for mischief, who has lived a rich and varied life from “doing mad things when the universe tells him to”. By keeping an open mind Dan found himself on an adventure with Daisy Campbell and 69 Discordian pilgrims, travelling on a pilgrimage from The Cerne Abbas Giant in Dorchester to the CERN Large Hadron Collider as part of a mass magical act. He also had the honour of playing the ‘Fool’ for Festival 23, where he met Megan Clifton, who we were introduced to back at the start of the Nonsense in the Chaos.

These days Dan lives with his partner off grid up north in the borderlands between England and Scotland, where he spends his days writing and publishing books, walking his dog, and singing to the land. That’s when he’s not unearthing long forgotten springs with his recently bequeathed ‘healing stick’. I’m looking forward to walking on a pilgrimage with Dan later in the year, for a sing song to the Michael and Mary lines. 

To follow Dan and find out more about his work go to @dansumption and @peakrillpress

Jolie Rose welcomes you back to Season 2 of the Nonsense in the Chaos with this deep dive into the volcanoes that lurk in our blind spots thanks to the spell of privilege or social grooming. In this subtle year of 9 energy, it is a key time of purification and the perfect opportunity to clear up our shadow work, ready for turning our lead into gold next year in 2026. 

In this episode Jolie mentions;

I make a mistake in the podcast when I say Venus goes into retrograde in Pisces on March 1st. She does go retrograde then and will be passing through Pisces, but she begins her descent into the underworld from Aries, then passes into Pisces during her 40 days and 40 nights of retrograding.

This final podcast in the first series of Nonsense in the Chaos was recorded at the Capricorn Dark Moon, which also happens to be my birthday (on NYE), in the last days of December 2024, and in it I explore the power of the 9 energy that we’re now stepping into for 2025. It’s a subtle and slightly tricky energy to navigate, so this episode seeks to help support you set yourself up for greatness. 

Nine is the number of limitlessness, but it’s also the dark night of the soul before the lead turns into gold. I recall how the last 9 year - which was back in 2016 - was the year my new career as an artist and performer took off and flourished. I’m therefore super excited to see how this coming year pans out. 

To help you navigate your way through this beautiful, gentle, and subtle energy, listen on…

In this podcast I talk about my numerology teacher Remington Donovan, who you can follow @themysticalarts on Patreon and I recommend his book ‘Numerology: A Beginner's Guide to the Mystic Significance of Numbers’

Of all the crazy ways to know Daisy Rickman, she used to be my cleaner back in Brighton circa 2014. This ethereal being became this year’s folk sensation after Daisy was picked up and promoted by the Guardian newspaper at the start of the year, being tipped for the top. Since then she’s spent the year caught up in a whirlwind of success, learning to build her confidence in playing publicly, and developing tools for navigating her way through what really matters and what are the snares of outer world distractions.

From the devil on her shoulder to her sources of inspiration, Daisy shares with me her creative processes and the different ways in which she nurtures and takes care of her relationship to the inner world part of herself and her capacity to embrace the unknown  . If you want to follow Daisy’s music then head over to www.daisyrickman.com where you can also see and purchase her gorgeous artwork.
