If you have to speak publicly, even if it's just a brief toast at dinner, do NOT follow the stupid advice telling you to just wing it and "speak from the heart." That's a sure way to stumble or say something you'll regret. Always prepare your remarks and practice them.

A top team of improvisers at the London Comedy Store this Sunday 1st. What better way to celebrate St David's Day? See you there!

Yes!!

Many happy memories

Back from a lovely evening seeing @marcusbrig.bsky.social perform at The Stand. An influence and a very funny man - and Museum of Everything remains one of my favourite radio comedies of all time. Enough crawling, time for bed!

Had the pleasure of seeing @marcusbrig.bsky.social last night at the Stand in Newcastle and what an excellent show it was. Highly recommend catching Vitruvian Mango if you can.
