Well, this is a lovely surprise. Next month* there will be another chance to hear a show I wrote called No-Platformed which I assumed had been consigned to audio oblivion. As I recall, it contains quite a lot of strange jokes. 📻 www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m... *assuming the BBC makes it to December

TONIGHT- 6.30pm - #TheNakedWeek only bloody well welcomes actual TAYLOR SWIFT to the show as recorded last night in London. Listen #bbcradio4 #bbcsounds @taylorswift13 @MMAFighting #taylorswift

Think they might want to rephrase this

In personal (work) news I’m directing the Dead Ringers 25th Anniversary Live Tour - and tonight we open in Brighton. Very much looking forward to it. Dates here, if you fancy fieryentertainment.com/our-shows/de...

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family? It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

A bit from last night’s #TheSkewer on Radio 4: The Magic St George Roundabouts. Full ep www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

This morning’s random episode of TTOSS featured a collapsing sofa, anti-entertainment and an all-child “suicide squad” @jonholmes.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

If you’re in Edinburgh, go see Robin. He’s one if those ‘excellent comedians’ you sometimes hear about.

Streisand Effect in action with this online age verification thing. I've just found out what "porn" is (pictures of people shagging!!) and it's brilliant. A real own goal for Keir Starmer if you ask me. But don't bother asking me, I'll be too busy enjoying "porn"! 😎

Surely SURELY she did not say this? Way to go, Ofcom.

Final #DeadRingers for this series in the can. Yes, the audience made *that* uncomfortable laugh noise at a couple of points. Here’s what the live recording looks like in pretty colours form. Second pic is waveform of *that* uncomfortable laugh noise. Hear the results 6.30pm #Radio4

It’s a three way tie between Groove is in the Heart (makes me want to kill), that abomination about being gorgeous by Babybird, and Jump Around because of the noise it makes like stabbed horses.

Ep 5 of the current #DeadRingers #BBCRadio4 very much on the way at 6.30. Yes, the audience made *that* noise again. Also, just to clarify in advance - no real puppies were harmed by our Prime Minister kicking them.

I’m no expert but I would’ve got a person to do it.

Take me down to the Paraphrase City with its verdant lawns and beautiful women

New #DeadRingers coming your way at 6.30, #BBCRadio4. Some of the subject material made the audience make *that* ‘oh god they went there’ noise. Yes, I have left them in the edit.

Are you in Sheffield on Sunday? No, you’re probably not. But here’s a reason to be! #CrossedWires. Plus, tickets are free and there’s booze. crossedwires.live/podcast/afte...

Never mind the Bob Vylan / Kneecap controversy, there’s genuinely something v funny about the BBC live streaming Olivia Rodrigo and the director cutting to close ups of 13 year old girls screaming ‘I still fucking love you’ down the barrel. Fair play. She’s really good as well. #glastonbury2025

Week 3 of #DeadRingers #BBCRadio4 as producer coming your wireless way at 6.30. Here’s the live show recording, in pretty colours.

I’ve been undressed by kings And seen some things That a woman ain’t s’posed to see I’ve been to Parad.. no it’s some fucking bins jesus christ

Aaaand my second ep of #DeadRingers for #BBCRadio4 as Producer is now delivered for its 6.30pm Comedy slot. Here’s what it looks post recording, in pretty colours.

This is the last thing the BBC needs

I live directly under this. It’s quite the spectacle right now.

Stepping into the shoes of the late Bill Dare, I’ve produced tonight’s first ep in a brand new series of #DeadRingers. It’s ok though, only 2 of the jokes made the audience do a sharp intake of breath. 6.30pm, Radio 4. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

So, this week is #MensHealthWeek and the good people @ProstateUK have asked me to share a message. Men! Get checked! (I suspect you can still ask for the bum-finger if that’s the sort of thing you fancy.)

He looks like a cormorant about to be cleaned by RSPB volunteers.

Cartoon from 2007, as today is Sigmund Freud's 169th birthday. You'd hope that at his age he can keep his mind out of his trousers for 5 minutes, the mucky old dog

Russell Brand posted and then deleted a completely fake document which he thought was from the newly released JFK files and proved British actress Penelope Keith, not Lee Harvey Oswald, killed JFK.

It’s fair to say that we have made a brand new thing.
