Crabs are still brilliant. So at least there’s that.

#Bakeoff. Wow.

CC4K have since booked me for hundreds of shows, actively promoted my shows for free, paid my mortgage some months when no one else was, and given me about half of my very best friends on live comedy…

#BookSky Last one of the week 😂🫢

Tried my first recipe from George Egg’s cook book The Snack Hacker. Fish Finger spaghetti. So nice. Buy the book. Please.

There's a new Sparklegoose Cartoon Podcast! @rathergood.bsky.social & I talk to @howardread.bsky.social about writing for animation, head writing, and karaoke. We also ask why he's brought something that definitely isn't a cartoon despite the VERY CLEAR TITLE OF THE SPARKLEGOOSE CARTOON PODCAST.

New Sparklegoose! The Cartoon Podcast! This week we talk to the Head Writer of Stand & Gran (Milkshake) @howardread.bsky.social about his history in comedy, Horrible Histories, and why he's chosen The Goon Show- something for a cartoon podcast that isn't a cartoon. open.spotify.com/episode/5Wmd...

Here’s me on a lovely podcast about cartoons with the marvellous @thatnatt.bsky.social and @rathergood.bsky.social, talking about cartoons, and cartoons without pictures!

“From The Depths,” William Balfour Ker

“Tens of thousands have gathered for the Budapest Pride march, defying Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's legal threats against LGBTQ rights activists.” Solidarity with everyone marching at Budapest Pride today. It’s beautiful to see so many people resisting authoritarian politics. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Bezos Wedding Guests Delighted By Amazon Worker With Ring Tied To Collar Crawling Down Aisle theonion.com/bezos-w...

I don’t think the old Onion, when it followed the herd and didn’t charge for its work, meekly becoming another digital ad space, would have done this. They’ve got their balls back. Nice.

For a thing. What’s the most popular, pointless, stupid and funny use of A.I. You’ve heard of?

More of this tone please 😏

Watch Ocean With David Attenborough, in cinemas now. A masterpiece in documentary storytelling, and “filling the hope gap” in environmentalism. Such a moving and important film. Mr Attenborough’s career mic drop. Go. You’ll thank me. www.oceanfilm.net/home/

The Comic Strip Presents is on Netflix! www.netflix.com/gb/title/702...

I’m new to cryptic crosswords (this is last Sunday’s (I’m THAT new) so hopefully no spoilers) but is this normal? Obviously I guessed it, because I’m a child, but my monocle fair popped across the first class carriage when I checked it and it was right! Writing to Daily Mail as we speak.

I feel oppressed.

Soo… Zack Starkey wasn’t introduced to drumming by Ringo, but by Keith Moon? Ringo Star wasn’t even the best drummer in his own house?

Sunshine dog.

Morning! The first ever episode of #HorribleScience premiers today on #CBBC and the whole series just dropped on iPlayer. From the makers of the multi-award-winning #HorribleHistories, which includes me on the writing team. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Good afternoon.

#HorribleScience starts on Friday! It’s science, but funny! www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Kid Rock looks like a broom in disguise to get into a porn cinema for brooms.

Cheered me right up.

Imagine how big the delivery plane must be… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Don’t meet JD Vance kids.

Social Notwork

Beginnings of my much-needed office refurb. I made the first Kallax unit and IMMEDIATELY dented it, by dropping an EMMY nomination medal on it, which was hanging on my flying-V ukulele. Nothing says winner and loser at the same time as loudly.

Morning all. Myself and Mabel Read are doing a stand-up gig in Hitchin next week. I very rarely gig near home, for reasons you’ll discover if you come. See me one last time before I’m chased out with pitchforks. And Mabel too, who really is very funny. Link in replies (is that a thing?)

Today my dogs have arranged themselves in the style of a Wes Anderson film.

Nation Could Have Sworn Russell Brand Was Already Convicted Sex Offender

Forgot I was on a phone call about council tax Them: What band are you in Me: Erm, The Charlatans Them: Your council tax band? 😬

Bill Burr is a national treasure 🎯! "You journalists need to get your balls back"

Do you moisturise?

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

This is brilliant, and I think very prescient today.

Voluntary euthanasia is one hell of a way to end the Great Railway Journeys series.

Mother’s Day #HorribleHistories time. I wrote the sketch about parents in (or not in) Victorian photos. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

We dun a science. Then found out you could do exactly the same thing with a colander. But ours involved cutting up a box, which is more science.

My wife’s making butter.

A thread of interdimensional portals I've found on walks in the British countryside.

In an effort to stop people referring to him as a racist, Laurence Fox is trying to reinvent himself as a sex offender.
