If you’re watching the Women’s Rugby World Cup quarterfinals on the BBC: yes, that was me crunching some numbers! (Just after 12:30.)

Love Triangle is now out in paperback from in the USA!

Tour sales are going well! Shows are not until October but 24% of all tickets are gone. Watch out if you're in Swindon: that show is over half sold; Leeds and North Finchley both > ⅓ gone. standupmaths.com/shows/

I’m celebrating with a semi-unrelated gig in London tonight! Come and see me try new material with the excellent @bechillcomedian.bsky.social and friends. museumofcomedy.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/...

It’s publication day! Love Triangle is now out in paperback. A book about angles is finally capable of bending. www.penguin.co.uk/books/443151...

I'm going to calculate π on the Moon! And you can join in. Get your own Lunar Pi. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sta...

It’s finally happening! I will be at the European Spreadsheet Risks Interest Group annual conference! July 3,4 in London. See sum(you all) there. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/eusprig-20...

I join the fine Cracking the Cryptic folks to see if solving a MIT Mystery Hunt sudoku really did require me to write Terrible Python Code™. youtu.be/WFZ6AMTXUJk

Sorry I stole someone’s sharpie! An audience member at Wednesday’s show brought it for me to sign their calculator and were too polite to say anything when I absentmindedly put it in my pocket. It’s mine now.

We thought we’d sold out but the fine people at The Capitol managed to find 60 extra chairs somewhere. Now on sale. So if you want to see the show tomorrow: you’re in luck! www.comedyfestival.com.au/browse-shows...

I don’t understand how not doing this is even an option, assuming trucks follow classical physics. Or maybe that is the problem and the sign was too small for “trucks - despite the name, please don’t quantum tunnel through the tunnel”.

Thanks Qantas! Really cleared that up for me.

Happy π Day everyone! This year we collided some masses together. In practise: youtu.be/vlUTlbZT4ig And in theory: youtu.be/6dTyOl1fmDo

I spent an earnest 30 seconds looking at this powerboard backstage today, trying to work out what kind of theatre equipment plugs into it.

For some reason our dog loves trains. Not only does she try to drag me to the station so she can go for a ride, whenever one passes is she will stop and watch it.

Melbs! I'll be visiting your Comedy Festival for one night only, with @doctorkarl.bsky.social and other unannounced guests. 16 April 2025, The Capitol. Assuming Australia is ready for me and Dr Karl on the same stage. www.comedyfestival.com.au/browse-shows...

Because 2025 = 45² and 45 is a triangle number, we get these lovely sums: 2025 = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9)² 2025 = 1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ + 5³ + 6³ + 7³ + 8³ + 9³ Pleasingly the next triangle number 55 is 10 more, so get ready for a repeat of this fact in the year 3025.

Get ready for the squarest year of our lifetimes! 2025 = 45² and we don’t get 46² until the year 2116. AND, as a 1980 birth, I’ll get to turn 45 during the square year. I’ve been looking forward to this since when I still had hair. youtu.be/99stb2mzspI?...

Today is my 14π birthday! So this is a reminder that whenever you turn a multiple of 22 you also turn a very-close-to-multiple of π.

I can’t believe we’re stuck behind four busses.

We have the biggest Evening of Unnecessary Detail show of the year coming up! Monday 2 December in London. Come see me, Steve Mould, Helen Arney and many more guests. lwtheatres.co.uk/whats-on/an-...
