Raye’s new album is pretty extraordinary

And my other #SNLUK thoughts are that amongst the naysaying was so much snobbery about US comedy. Yes different things work in different places, but there’s a lot the British comedy scene can learn from the US one, particularly in regards to sketch, character & improvisation.

One of the most refreshing things about watching #SNLUK on Saturday was seeing LIVE sketch comedy on our TV screens again. I think I had underestimated how thrilling and significant that is.

Hey UK SNL 👋 I think AMEXA would make a great addition 😁🤖 🎥 @museumofcomedy.bsky.social

Hearing ‘and live from London, it’s Saturday night!’ almost brought a tear to my eye. I’ve had a sort of break from the industry because I was burnt out & freelancing was becoming increasingly more difficult financially, but man watching that alone has sparked a fire in me again! #SNLUK

Live UK comedy on a Saturday night?!? #SNLuk

hello, i am paid to be a tv critic and today i will be asking: can *british* comedians make a sketch show? it has never been done before so i have my doubts!

I hope that SNL UK goes well tonight - there are many many very talented people working on it both in front of and behind the camera, and the scrutiny they're under at the moment is pretty ridiculous. My other hope is that they quickly find their own identity for the show. 1/3

Who’s watching SNL UK tonight?? 😁

We need to get more people here. But how do we do it? The old days of Twitter were powerful. Social media tech bros lured loads of people back to instagram and blooming threads.

Very happy to report that both series of Home are now back available on the Channel 4 website. Check it out, now more than ever.

No wonder they wanted Twitter to be discredited and destroyed. Can you imagine the torrent this would have caused? Dismantling the only platform that ever effectively organised movements of resistance was done because they foresaw days like this

I feel like this didn’t get the attention it deserved.

Kind of extraordinary that there are more and more clothing brands selling polyester dresses for £200+

Strictly’s new hosting duo should be a pro presenter and a total novice.

I do find it funny/irritating when people say that actors are ‘trained liars’. Without sounding like a thespian twat - that’s not what acting is. We’re the most readable people on the planet #TheTraitors

Want to be clear that the predictable violence against the police wasn't the only problem with yesterday's march It's that 100,000 angry racists gathered in London for the biggest racist march in 50 years, and anyone not white had to steer clear The govt can't see that because they are inadequate.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

I have been ill twice in the last couple of months. At least one bout was Covid. Snot girl summer for me 🤧

Can only describe this as ‘No nonsense horsey woman’ 🐴

Another gag for my show just handed to me on a plate

The nervous giggler 🎤 #comedy

I have to find a way of taking my show to Edinburgh next year. I would have LOVED to have done it this year, but I just didn’t have the funds. Not sure how I will next year but a gal can dream. The FOMO is real.

Only 2 more chances to catch my solo show before I go home to sleep for 100 years! Susan Harrison: Should I still be doing this? Gilded Balloon, Appleton Tower, Pip 7.40pm. See you there?

Micro sketch/bit about micromanaging #comedy #charactercomedy

Here's the trailer for Susan Harrison: Should I still be doing this? Playing @gildedballoon.bsky.social until 24th August. Link in bio for tickets!

I got followed by two men on my way to work this morning (I think in attempt to mug me). Just a little bit of feedback for them: You’d both make terrible spies. (I’m ok and safe!)

My toxic trait is thinking that after diffusing ONE argument between two housemates is that I should train to be a peace negotiator

“Starved of investment, British theatre has been cut to the bone. On the fringe, you can see the bones, and you can see them crumbling in front of your eyes.” Polished fringe shows from overseas shine an ugly light on UK arts funding, says Lyn Gardner 👇

I don't want to post things at an optimum time. I want to post things when I want. and I want the people who have CHOSEN to follow me to see what I post! That this basic demand is too much of social media companies to ask is so annoying

Cleaning the flat to Self Esteem’s ‘I am not your Mother’ 🎶 because you have a male housemate who is incapable of doing household chores 🫠

What if journalists could beat misinformation by using the same tactics as influencers? Until now, only a few could - but today, many more will be able to (!). I’m so proud to share that Sophiana, my video-scripting app, has launched on the App Store.

Tell me there was a drag artist with a sign that said ‘This Queen says no Kings!’ yesterday?! #NoKings

Always fun to watch them try to pretend they're not basically eugenicists who only want the "right" kind of people reproducing

Happening now: twelve activists including Greta Thunberg are en route to Gaza aboard the Freedom Flotilla, with the goal of bringing much needed aid to Palestinians, breaking the Israeli government’s genocidal blockade starving over 2.3 million people.

Using Bluesky and encouraging other social media users to do so is my mini fight against those power hungry tech bros.

Loud and backfiring cars and motorbikes are a plague on society. I swear the numbers of these tiny 🍆 overcompensating machines have increased.

I think a lot of the world's problems come from men who are sensitive trying to deny that they are sensitive.

Also at the very least you should read this for the first story in this (involving a shark) - I gasped very loudly on a train.

I’m being targeted with all sorts of ozempic and other weight loss ads on Instagram now. Horrific.

This was brilliant tonight - especially for a baby satirist like myself. Thank you @rachelparris.bsky.social @sophiasgaler.bsky.social @intelligence2.bsky.social @pleasance.co.uk & Sage & Jester 🙌🏻

Finished. Highly recommend reading this. It’s the Facebook whistleblower book that META do not want you to read. A horrifying, but important account of Facebook and its unchecked power. #CarelessPeople
