An hour ago we improvised a musical set at the Winter Olympics where Team GB won Gold. I know correlation is not necessarily causation, but... ❄️ 🥇

Another week, another show! Catch me improvising a brand new musical at hooplaimpro.com this Friday evening!

I've just seen Oh Mary! on the front row, and I think it might well be the best comedy play I've ever seen. It's properly phenomenal. Densely packed. Brilliant cast. I highly recommend!

Just seen @pierrenovellie.bsky.social for a fourth hour and he still has to be my fave stand-up comedian. My face is still aching from laughing which is always a good sign. Coming away feeling positive in a cold January is also a good sign! Obrigado! 🍖

Watched No Other Choice last night and it's still got me thinking, feeling & mulling over.

What a phenomenal episode of TV. I am absolutely delighted #TheTraitors

Friday's Hoopla Impro show with Gämez was a fun one! A "Greasey" soap opera, Doctor Doctors and a masked ball gone awry. And with great acts...

youtu.be/bh3wZ8dFFAs?... "Ai was a wonderful mother." RIP

Happy New Year!

I've just finished The Seance of Blake Manor and it's simply brilliant. Great gameplay & Whodunnit storytelling. I was hooked. And I've loved learning a bit more about Irish mythology. I can't recommend it enough, and it is apparently on sale on Steam. Give it a go! @blakemanorgame.bsky.social

So I thought I'd decided on my top songs of the year but then swedemason does it again ...

All I Want for Christmas Is You but in the style of 6 classical composers youtu.be/yZi4Z1e5KO8?...

The OQL weekend buzzer quiz was just great. So much work goes into it so thanks to all who made it happen. I backed myself a bit more this buzzer quiz. Despite the odd howler or wimping I'm really pleased with my buzzes! And to those I didn't get a chance to say hello to in-person, hello! 👋🏻

What a great song 🎶 All This Love - Cat Burns open.spotify.com/track/5FJ9s2...

On a short flight with the Disco Elysium soundtrack as backdrop. Life is good.

Some holiday snaps from Madeira!

Just finished the last episode of Film Club and my god the acting and writing is brilliant, a phenomenal bit of TV

Celebrity Traitors was such a spectacular bit of event television. And while I was sceptical a celebrity version would work when it was first announced, it was spectacular. I wonder what the impact of the Celebrity version will be on the main/"civilian" series

Because it’s back on the telly, here’s the piece I wrote about how The Traitors is edited, and what it tells us about storytelling. open.substack.com/pub/joelmorr...

Live, at the gym for some reason, it's Saturday night

At Jacob Collier's pre-launch album listening. Squeeeee 🎵🎶

An absolutely awesome show watching @the8bitbigband.bsky.social play The Video Game Songbook for the first time in the UK. Brilliantly performed and arranged and really uplifting. Here's a bit of Bob-Omb Battlefield!

Another fun night of improvised comedy at Hoopla Impro in London!

Just saw Sue Perkins in Every Brilliant Thing @sohoplace and it was marvellous.

So I've finally got round to watching Better Man and by god it's brilliant. It's hard to understate how huge Robbie's musical influence was when I was growing up. Hundreds of car journeys came flooding back when watching.

Games night with GÄMEZ improv is on tonight at the @museumofcomedy.bsky.social with this lovely bunch. Come along to the Camden Fringe! #comedy #improv #london #camdenfringe

A fun Camden Fringe gig this Saturday at the Museum of Comedy with Gämez! Should be a really fun show at a lovely venue, see you there! @camdenfringe.bsky.social @museumofcomedy.bsky.social museumofcomedy.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/...

Please don't plug keyboards or other devices into random USB ports, ok?

Got to see Herbie Hancock live last night which was just awesome! 🎹 🎸

I'll be doing a really fun gig tomorrow at London Bridge - I'll be improvising a musical entirely on the spot with special guest @ruthbratt.bsky.social! With a Gameshow Spectacular too this'll be a super fun night. This and details for more of my gigs here 👇 linktr.ee/ryancomedy #comedy #london

They must have left it in a warm place for an hour

What a great gig! Oh it left quite an impression...

Congratulations Ryan

Just watched the full set - unsurprisingly phenomenal ❤️ youtu.be/CpKcoHrWTF8?... The arrangement of You Don't Know Me (and the whole dance section at the end) 👌

I'm also not an avid film watcher, and definitely some nostalgia driving some of these... But these are all fab films. 📽️

I'm in Sardinia! And all is good

We now cross over to BBC Radio Derby.

Off to a wedding - here we go!

Tim Minchin at the Soho Theatre Walthamstow. Friggin Phenomenal. @timminchin.bsky.social has been such a huge influence on me, my comedy and Dark Side was the track that got me through my uni dissertation. So thank you Tim! This is the second time I've seen him live but it won't be my last.

A neat baking course today on how to make doughnuts (and brioche) which was cool. So tasty. And turns out kneading an enriched dough is a solid arm workout too 💪

If you're interested in some proper quizzing, Summer Friendly League is a great way to give it a go and meet a lovely bunch of people too!

#Eurovision Norway 🇳🇴 Netherlands 🇳🇱 and Switzerland 🇨🇭 my faves of the night. Still expecting a Sweden win but let's see!

Come on Palace 🔴🔵💪

Can't wait for the SNL sketch this week of "You've seen Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. Now on your screens it's Chicago Pope"

I also saw Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club this weekend - a properly phenomenal production. I can't stop thinking about it (I now get the hype)

Loved the PCC Buzzer quiz. Nice to catch up & meet a load of lovely people and to quiz with a fab team. Very chuffed to be a bit more confident on the buzzer this time and after the first half had made the Top 20 individually which felt like an awesome achievement. Roll on more quizzing!! ✅🤗

#GeniusGame on UK TV screens, how exciting. I hugely recommend it for any game or gameshow ultra-geeks! #TheGeniusGame
