Alex Lowe is the comedic talent behind numerous wonderful characters, including popular phone in favourite "Barry from Watford" and risk-taking mystic 'Clinton Baptiste'. The latter, who was brought to life for Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights, is taking to the Gaiety Stage with his new Roller Ghoster show on Weds 9th September.

Christy caught up with Alex about those characters and so much more.

Tickets for the show, which is set to be a superb night, are available from the Villa booking office now.

This Summer, Skateistan and Women Win hosted the 2024 ROLL Models Leadership Camp in Paris and Manx skateboarder Ali Mellor was there to represent the Isle of Man.

Ali , from Gal Skate, was in attendance along with 20 other women and non-binary social skateboarding leaders, from 10 countries across Europe.

The camp aims to create a safe space for skaters to share their stories, make connections, acquire new knowledge and boost their confidence.

It's part of an initiative from the Goodpush Alliance which aims to support and share knowledge among social skateboarding projects worldwide.

September is World Dementia Awareness Month and to mark it, two local charities have combined forces to provide support and information for Dementia Awareness week.

Claire Cubberly from Alzheimer's Society Isle of Man and Jeanette Hogg, a Hospice Admiral Nurse from Forget Me Not, tell us about their charities.

Forget Me Not Admiral Nurses will be joining up with partners from Manx Care, Manx Decaf, the Alzheimer's Society and other third sector partners, for a number of dementia awareness events through the week of 23 September. If you're worried about dementia, or caring for someone with dementia, and want more information, representatives from these groups will be in the Strand Shopping Centre on Friday 27th September from 11am until 3pm.
