I've missed late night trains! Drunk women are belting out I Dreamed A Dream. I am shocked by every single line as I learn what they think the lyrics are. Only one of them was brave enough to belt the final high note. "Oh my God you can SING 🥹🥹🥹" said one of the others. (She can't, really.)

I'm back from the Edinburgh Fringe! And I've neglected BluSky, so let me tell you about my adventures. THREAD!

We all do things at a different pace. It must have taken me 6 years between my first piano lesson and passing Grade 1. Anyway, after 14 and a half years of performing standup comedy, I have been given the Pegasus Award for Best Newcomer.

Doctor Who! The 90s! Two of my favourite things! I'd be so excited for this book even if I wasn't one of the writers for it. And Philip Purser-Hallard's book will be great too.

REVIEW: 4.5 stars to Steffan Alun: Stand Up @Hoots @Apex Edinburgh Festival Fringe Steffan Alun Spirited and heartfelt wp.me/pdXz8Y-6ns #review #edfringe #whatson #comedy

2025 Comedy Shows 31/52 - Steffan Alun: Stand Up Steffan's debut hour! It is nice to see a nice man do nice jokes and also accuse the asexual community of being permanently high.

I'm told the Edinburgh Comedy Awards are sending a scout to my show tonight. If you're at the Fringe, come along and laugh! And cheer! And say things like "if only we lived in a world where this show earned the award it so clearly deserves"!

I also went to see @steffanalun.bsky.social’s debut hour!! one of my favourite stand ups with so many laugh out loud moments, highly recommend. What a great day

reminder to any scottish Overinvested listeners that you can see Steffan at the Edinburgh Fringe all this month!!!!

It's been nearly ten years since I thought of this joke, and this is the year it paid off. Here are all 8 posters for my solo Edinburgh comedy shows, from 2016 to 2025. (Tickets available from www.steffanalun.com)

I just started listening to this new-ish podcast, on @steffanalun.bsky.social's recommendation. Guy 1 is writing a murder mystery and guy 2 is directing the detective's next move, like whodunit D&D. It's the kind of thing you'd probably like if you follow me. www.thedirecteddetective.com/2253345

The Lyric Theatre in Bridport was such a cool place for my last preview before the Fringe. Great staff and volunteers, really nice audience. I think I'm ready now. Book your tickets to see me in Edinburgh! www.comedysheep.com

We're taking over Cardiff Glee on Sunday! 20 July, that is. And by "we", I mean Welsh acts heading to Edinburgh - I'll be joining Ignacio Lopez and Josh Elton, performing extended sets including greatest hits and newer jokes. Come to our leaving party! Tickets here: linktr.ee/comedysheep

New Episode Day! I'm joined by @steffanalun.bsky.social to aid in defeated a big dumb green bird and finally learn the Korean language. Will we succeed? Also I spend a lot of the show on a ghost ship in what I think is the most tenuous metaphor in the podcast so far?

I'm performing a preview of my new show in London tonight! That's 10pm Friday 27 June. It's officially my debut hour, so a collection of my best routines - come along if you're around! www.facebook.com/events/19990...

I wrote a story for this! I'm so excited to read the rest.

Out now on Overinvested: @steffanalun.bsky.social and I review THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME, discussing Wes Anderson's relationship with absurdism, his casting choices, the film's religious and historical themes, and more. www.overinvestedpodcast.com/episodes/the...

Not great for my confidence that my mortgage provider's drop-down menu doesn't include "comedian", "standup" or "performer", but DOES have "ventriloquist".

heartwarming: the thing you're already boycotting costs too much and sucks

A shop in Brighton was selling a set of 7 Smurf figurines. Related: my Edinburgh fund is down £35

I think if I was an American president with a historical relationship to an infamous sex criminal, I would have tried not to upset an unhinged businessman with a history of accusing people of paedophilia.

Chuckling at a dril tweet, then realising its subject matter resonates with a key detail that allows me to identify the true killer.

I admire the Offspring, cos they were like, "maybe songs don't NEED to stand the test of time"

Accidentally asked for a coke "with all the trimmings". Scored myself a slice of lime AND lemon.

Meal deals are weird. I only wanted a sandwich and a drink, why are they paying me 30p to take a Pepperami?

This is a joyful radio programme about #DoctorWho inclusivity in the programme and fandom. Available to listen to via BBC Soubds for the next five weeks. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... Well done to producer Jamie Griffiths. Additional information here: goldencatstudios.co.uk/doctor-who-t...

In my wildest dreams, I didn't expect the BBC to celebrate 20 years of the revived Doctor Who with an exploration of how filming it in Wales has made it queerer. Also: I'm in this! Discussing Wales, bisexuality and Dr Who, which are the three things about me. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

there’s a part in the wedding banquet (2025) where bowen yang says ‘everything in your house is so gay’ then it cuts to a shot of the exact same candlesticks I have in my house

Maybe the legs and face and the badass message on the plinth WERE Ozymandias's works. Maybe he was really proud of them, and we're all like, "Is that it?"

Joining a Dr Who subreddit and only talking about stories from the 1960s annuals. "No love for The Sons of Grekk on this sub?"

People say you can't just burn someone alive in a giant wicker man for a better harvest BUT it's worth a try if there's someone you want to burn alive in a giant wicker man.

Power Ranger rankings: Yellow Black Green Pink Red Blue

Four episodes into White Lotus, it is a show where (a) someone is going to die and (b) someone is being encouraged to start a spa treatment business, and (b) is the storyline that makes me most anxious.

Google's AI is nearly spot on here, except for the fact that S Club 7 have never appeared in Doctor Who, there is no musical number in The Runaway Bride, and it didn't air in 2005.

Only 4 tickets available for my solo show at Machynlleth Comedy Festival on Sunday 4 May: machcomedyfest.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/... (NO tickets available for my other show Comedy Translates I'm afraid!)

This! Been making comics for 15yrs and I am deeply aware that the only person who is gonna get the experience I want out of what I create is me. Sounds like a problem but is actually a GREAT excuse to put every queer character/dynamic into it that I've found lacking in the media I grew up with.

Faversham! We're back at The Alexander Centre on Saturday 26th April with an actual Alexander - in the shape of @alexanderybennett.bsky.social - plus non-Alexanders @steffanalun.bsky.social and El Baldiniho! Join us for stand-up, magic and some very giddy shouting. 🎟️ thealex.org.uk/event/comedy...

On the train, a group of friends are travelling to a night out. A fascinating exchange between two lads: Lad 1: You're like a fucking Squirtle. Lad 2: What's a Squirtle? Lad 1: You don't know who Squirtle is?? Could be worse. You could be a Bulbasaur. WHAT DOES HE MEAN??

My gig today was Comedy Club 4 Kids in Chester. The audience included a man from Colwyn Bay who admitted that Chester has the better zoo, a 55-year-old who'd never seen an eagle, and a child who claimed that all animals are types of penguin.

Rejected Black Mirror pitches: ITV announce ITV-1 allowing you to watch Emmerdale an hour into the future The ABBA holograms ask you to join their polycule The ghost of your Tamagotchi is suing you for manslaughter

Tea towels that say "only the Welsh can cwtsh" is the livelaughloveification of my culture.

Chester! Join us at @storyhouselive.bsky.social on Saturday 12th April for much #familyfriendly comedy goodness, with @steffanalun.bsky.social MCing @edyhurst.bsky.social and improvisers Comedy Sportz (@totallyimprovised.bsky.social)! 🎟️ www.storyhouse.com/whats-on/com...

Hello! I've been away from this place for a bit, in hiding while I work on PROJECTS! But I'm back for a bit. Let's promote some stuff!

🚨TV News!🚨 My new show, Yr Academi Gomedi ("The Comedy Academy") is on S4C at 5pm TONIGHT, continuing every Wednesday for 6 weeks. After that, you can find it on iPlayer with English subtitles available! I'm so proud of this show, and I promise you'll love it.

Doctor Who fans! Kate Orman is raising money to vaccinate cats, by writing 100-word Dr Who stories for each donation. (I've selfishly used this opportunity to get some more of Richard E Grant's Doctor.) The stories are great, and cats are great too.
