#ComedyPodcastOfTheDay @eleanormorton.bsky.social @misterabk.bsky.social tackle #TheRailwayChildren live from the #EdFringe E. Nesbit's classic is packed with unforgettable characters, a forgotten Russian dissident, & the lesson that trespassing is OK if you're middle-class shorturl.at/LvBGg

Very much relying on this to heal me and the world www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Love to hear from the fans

I always picture centrist men only being able to say 'I love you' in a sarcastic voice to their wives because a single once of earnestness or sincerity will make them explode

Enjoying the two guys on this year's Bake Off who look like they could be rival chieftains in Iron Age Gaul

I'm sick of people treating the spectator like a normal news journal with the occasional controversial piece instead of the dangerous shit rag it is. Do you think these people would read the Mail and nod sagely if it just had better cartoonists? It's the exact same stuff, just aimed at posh people

A surprising number of people seem to regard Nazism as an understandable and natural reaction to heavy eye makeup.

Guys who's your fave youtuber to recommend when you need to introduce people to trans rights, science etc? Looking for something funny and captivating, not just cold facts. I can think of lots of adjacent stuff but not a specific video

Go see this man. He’s very, very funny

Another begging letter from me telling you I'm now only 2.8k subs away from 100k on YouTube! Subscribe NOW for all the same stuff you get here but with more snarky replies from me in the comments www.youtube.com/@EleanorMort...

[me, a journalist who spends all day every day on a social media app where the discovery algorithm is personally controlled by its owner, captain birdseye] you know, a lot of people are talking about fish fingers, we should probably cover that

Sometimes it's nice to see Bluesky is as weird as Twitter

When a comedian makes a serious point you'll always end up with right-wingers going "ERM THOUGHT COMEDIANS WERE MEANT TO BE FUNNY" and then they jerk off to Joe Rogan making absolutely zero jokes of any description on his sad nerd podcast for a decade.

The speed at which they moved to “whomst amongst us…” has been, frankly, hilarious

Trying to understand why Kristin Chenoweth, who's ENTIRE fanbase is just a list of people Charlie Kirk hated, ever thought her statements were a good idea. This isn't dividing an audience, pretty sure the entire audience just collectively got up and left the theatre

Well, I don't know what YOUR taking from all this, but the message I'm getting is loud and clear: as a podcaster I am very important, valued, and if I ever die presidents and news channels will dedicate hours to my memory

An embarrassing timeline to be living in

A reminder that you can listen to both series of Lunchtime With Michael Fry where ever you get podcasts! It's sort of Brass Eye meets Alan Partridge meets Northern Ireland meets Parks and Rec www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

"Charlie Kirk and I may have disagreed on a great many things, but that does not mean that I will not debase myself in a vain attempt to curry favour with his base, who would put me in a camp as soon as look at me." - Andy Barr, prospective candidate for Deputy Leader of the Labour Party

My favourite thing about being a comedian is seeing my comedian friends in adverts and the really nice houses they pretend (but definitely do not) to live in @alibrice.bsky.social

i am only 2.9k off 100k subs on YouTube if you want to give me a follow there! Same nonsense, some I haven't posted here www.youtube.com/channel/UCLz...

If they don't know who the shooter is the killing is the left's fault for pointing out if someone is a bit of a nazi. If a right-wing person did the shooting n killing it's the left's fault for also blabbing on and making men feel sad or something.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

This writer must be having the most batshit day

Does Trump think the negotiators ARE Hamas? I bet he thinks it was all of Hamas in one room and he got em

Ta da! Excited to announce i have a brand new character comedy pilot on BBC R4, recording this November www.comedy.co.uk/radio/news/8...

I contributed to this, no idea how helpful it was!

It's a NEW feature

I know this is meant to be an hilarious joke but not sure how hot you were expecting me to look playing 'Craig' a dour man who hates life Why do female comedians have to have their looks constantly commented on

I suppose Rayner can now sell her posh flats in Glasgow, her Chelsea mews house and £19m London townhouse, plus her yacht, while she works out how to get the National Crime Agency to unfreeze £75m of her assets. My bad, that's Michelle Mone.

Screenwipe and Newswipe are still my bible's for TV analysis. The way you can see how much has changed and how much has stayed the same is incredible. They were so good at lifting the curtain whilst being very fucking funny has influenced by comedy permanently www.youtube.com/watch?v=_amy...

@misterabk.bsky.social and I recording the next episode of the pod a few weeks ago - out on the 19th! Which book do you think it is this time?

Graham Linehan once took issue with a sketch I did and tweeted about me referring to me not by name but only as to who my boyfriend was and called me an NPC ( non player character.) It was misogynistic and his “standing up for women” schtick is baloney.

HELLO do you know a child? Does that child like laughing at people from the past? Buy them this!

If only 'delivery delivery delivery' was Evri's slogan www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If you are a comedian then 80% of what makes you want to do a gig is how quickly they pay you and CC4K are the goat

I have finally moved off substack, you can find exactly the same stuff on my website: eleanormortoncomedian.com/articles-and...

There are no sacrifices that will keep any right-wingers happy. They're not going to say "okay, we got rid of trans rights, gay marriages are OK" or "we stopped small boats, people with leave to remain can stay". They'll want another target. Appeasement is pointless. Don't give them an inch.
