By day I'm a producer in the games industry, happily making little spreadsheets and Gantt charts, and by night I improvise nonsense or wander around stage with a microphone.

At the end of last year my friend made the finals of the BBC New Comedy Awards... And received literally thousands of hateful comments because she happens to wear the hijab. It's been so nice hearing the stories of acts who've reached out to support her during this time. Sometimes comedy is good.

Suzy Izzard's Dress To Kill is nearly two hours long. Imagine being that good non stop for the length of two full Edinburgh shows, and managing to build an audience being that surreal and also, you know, trans.

Actual footage of Vince Guaraldi performing "Linus and Lucy". I'm gobsmacked that this exists, but utterly thrilled too.

AI proponents: Claude is self aware it has feelings. Me: Fuck you. It's a speak and spell! Jim Henson: Kermit was originally made of my mother's coat. His eyes are made out of... Me: Don't talk about Kermit like he's not there, Jim. You've worked together too long for that.

I miss physical media releases for standup shows. I know it's a lot more work and a lot less accessible for most acts than just releasing shows digitally but it's just nice to have a fancy little box sometimes.

Today I learnt about the actual, canonical sequel to 101 Dalmatians. Every single paragraph of the synopsis makes me feel like I've lost my mind a little bit more. I am so sad that this never got a film adaptation.

I don't like how violent a lot of the terms around comedy are. Smashing a gig, bombing, killing it, dying etc. Trying to take them out of my lexicon.

XS is my favourite club in the country. It's such a kind, welcoming space with an audience that truly loves comedy. Comedy friends, you should absolutely apply.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

If you like Piña Coladas and getting caught in the rain you should move to Ireland. It rains all the time here and you can just buy a premixed bottle of Piña Colada at Tesco and walk around by the canal taking a swig between showers. Idk why anyone would wanna do that, but I didn't write the song.

If the new Muppet Show is picked up for a full series, please can we correct the universal wrong that is that Ricky Gervais got to do a Muppet movie and not Tim Vine.

What I played of Big Hops was charming, loved the movement, it seems really fun... But then the QA curse struck and I managed to softlock myself before I'd hit any sort of save point and now I'm grumpy.

If anyone has recommendations for non-violent games/books/shows that would be appreciated. Don't necessarily feel in the best headspace to continue my X Files watch, just want gentleness and not just the simple but repetitive puzzle game I've been playing the last few days.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

Occasionally people come up to me after my set and tell me how important it is and whenever that happens I write one extra stupid joke to put in. Let me just be a silly person trying to bring joy.

Television began on this day in 1926. Shortly after that, Doctor Who fans started a campaign to get rid of the current producer.

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain. A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones. The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...
