Why are tattoo parlours using AI, please stop, if you're cutting corners like that then I'm not letting you near my skin with needles.

Happy new year 🥰

"This comedian's done a really great hour about cancel culture!" No he hasn't.

2026 Bingo let's go!

I think I'd like to fall back in love with games next year. Try and remember why I worked hard for this career in the first place.

My wife is currently boasting about having had more medical appointments this year than I've had gigs so my goal for 2026 is to be more funny than they are disabled 😤

Some of you might know this story, but someone requested it as a reply to this thread, so I'll do that. What you should know about me is that I've always had trouble with airport security, especially in the United States. I have 7 very Arabic names, and I travel a lot around the entire planet.

I told Michael Bublé where the toilets were.

Bitch is clean and ready to steam! Tonight, 7pm, sending off 2025 in style with silly panel games and even sillier comedians. Twitch.tv/blizzardcomedy Come join us <3

I think they should make a shot for shot remake of every single episode of Lewis, with the only change being that I'm the one playing Hathaway.

Just realised I did gigs in five different cities this year. Leicester Leeds Edinburgh York Manchester

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

I try to mostly celebrate things I love rather than add to the voices of hate, but also: I will enjoy anything that dunks on David Cage.

The Ice episode of X Files is a bit tense, isn't it?

Checking in on the 2025 bingo and... Oooof not a lot crossed off! Basically just been a comedy focused year. Achieved a lot within that though, which I'm happy about. Going to have a think now about what I want to achieve for next year.

Things in comedy I have enjoyed this year in no particular order.

And just like workplace Secret Santas, they are determined to get me alcohol despite being lifelong teetotal.

Barista Beth Hapworth, 22, claimed to receive the compliment while on shift at an independent coffee shop in Manchester, when her manager said: “Nice job, Beth. I can always rely on you.” Eyewitnesses reported seeing Beth turn scarlet before retreating into her T-shirt like a tortoise.

I like it when the art and the artist are both awful, so you don't have to waste your energy trying to seperate them.

I hate networking and refuse to do it. Love making friends though. Then my friends keep making it onto TV or have their games talked about gushingly in video essays and I get to go "that's my friend, aren't they cool?"

Designed a bunch of puzzles for my university game development course. Course leader mocked them in front of the rest of the students when I presented them for being outdated and belonging in the 90s. Gave up on becoming a game designer.

I got @williebhines.bsky.social's book on improv for Xmas and it's really great already, but mostly I'm just appreciating that so early on it has a subchapter on the importance of empathy in scenes, something I consider fundamental to good improv but which seems to be missing from most books on it.

Merry Christmas. Please enjoy the best text I've ever received.

Please remember the reason for the season, the baby jesus came to earth in order that LinkedIn could send me job recommendations this winter morning.

Happy Ace Attorney Day to those who celebrate

Ah shit, Layton, why would you do this.

Good decisions were made.

i've been thinking recently about why i have a reflexive dislike of the 'comedy needs balance' line, and i think it's because political comedy is the act of saying "hey, you're not mad, the world really does look like THIS", and that doesn't need "balancing" because *the rest of society* does that

This is one of many reasons why I, as a producer in games, do not use any form of genAI. Not for summaries, not for meeting notes, not for anything. I work hard to make sure all my communication is clear and understandable by all because that is my job. I do not trust the lying machine with this.

I just watched It's a Wonderful Life for the first time at a cinema that was open when it first premiered.

Confused by people referring to Scully/Mulder as a will they/won't they romance, the duo with the most ludicrous sexual tension I've ever seen committed to film.

Rare footage of St Paul’s Cathedral testing its giant flamethrower

I went pottery painting this afternoon. I have no artistic ability so I just painted pride flags on a tealight holder. Not the neatest, but should still look cute once fired!

Oh this is giving me extreme 999 vibes.

When you have to name 9 swords before content lock

I have once again been terrible at actually playing any games this year, despite that being the industry that actually pays me money. Does anyone have any recommendations for games from this year to play, ideally at < 10 hours?

It is shocking that, like, this was something that even I knew about as someone outside of the television/publishing industries. It was a well known fact. It should not have taken this long for someone to stop publishing him.

I hate that we have to rely on informal rules and whisper networks because it's so unusual for these predators to be held accountable.

When I was in Edinburgh someone I did a gig for recommended I apply for another night local to me that he thought I'd go down great at. Anyway they've just announced that gig is ending having been on hiatus since April.

Bring this energy with you int 2026 (yes this is a threat)

I am very bad at being off work because it means I don't have a Task and how in earth am I meant to be Productive. But it's okay, I've figured out something I can make a spreadsheet about.

I agree that Mr Tumnus is an incel.

My current favourite band are a Japanese jazz fusion trio and therefore never do concerts I can go to or have easily buyable CDs etc.
