At the Hope Mills Theatre in Manchester to watch Young Frankenstein The Musical, specifically my pal Jessica Martin as Frau Blucher!

Hey whilst I'm thinking about it: do you even know who's DJing at Thought Bubble this year (except me)? All going to plan you've got @sofiedodgson.bsky.social, Sara Kenney, @chrissywilliams.bsky.social, @shanefaced.bsky.social, @andrewhickey.500songs.com, and @kierongillen.bsky.social.

I’ve made it up to Manchester, because going directly from where I live to Thought Bubble doesn’t seem to be an option for me. Having quick rest, then off for a visit to Travelling Man, some food, then taking in the production of Young Frankenstein The Musical at the Hope Mills Theatre.

Well, I’ve owned this for over a decade, I should probably give it a read…

Me: I can dry two loads of washing on racks by the wood burner, right? Also me: why am I sitting in a sauna?

Just lent my support to the A1 Deadline Kickstarter which ends in about 13 hours. Nice to back an anthology run by people who can be trusted! And new work from those fucked over by Frazer Brown! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dee...

Northern Lights over Harrogate for Thought Bubble? Might drag some people away from the loos…

@paulcornell.bsky.social will you have copies of your Avengers in the 70s book at Thought Bubble? Struggling to find a way to get hold of a copy before I travel to Harrogate!

One good thing about spending a few days at my dad’s house to visit mum, while he’s not here, is that I have full and unfettered access to the wood burner in the living room. Accidentally got things so hot that I was in a t-shirt and sweating like mad at 9pm last night…

Happy Walking Circulatory System In The Kitchen Day to those who celebrate.

One last time…

Lovely afternoon catching up with Gally pal @pickledintime.bsky.social in London. Managed to punch through a lot of exhaustion to make it…

I'm still not over @beardynoise.bsky.social describing Claudia Winkleman in The Traitors as 'a cunty triangle' and then coming home to watch it and immediately seeing this.

I’m super pleased that my non-theatre friend Sean, who can over to London from Gent in the car with me yesterday, has taken a punt on seeing Hadestown, based mostly on my excited comment about it since seeing it last June. He’s currently in the middle of Act I…

Post you from a different era. It’s me, before the beard!

Anyway, all that shit aside, I’m in London for the weekend. Currently on a bus to Angel for a return visit to the Bill Murray. 6pm, Friday night, former Taskmaster contestant, just like three weeks ago.

Had a pretty nasty experience just after arriving in the Uk today. Stopped at services to charge and get quick food. Quickly clock someone wearing a union flag as a cape, tucked under their baseball cap. Several people wearing shirts with some ‘for patriots’ slogan name on them.

Hope the weather for Thought Bubble improves on the current forecast, which is mostly rain…

People still constantly bring up my AI Statement page in the Scream zine. Some folks say it made them cry! I was going to be more eviscerating but instead felt the best way to make my point was just to be totally raw and vulnerable in a way AI can't be. sara-century.square.site

My friend Sean grabbed the very last ticket for Andy Zaltzman’s WIP at the Bill Murray this Friday, and I grabbed the very first resale ticket via DICE half an hour later.

Hello, you beauty…

Frazier Brown has threatened the A1 DEADLINE SPECIAL Kickstarter over comics originally intended for the unreleased TALES FROM THE QUARANTINE, meaning their creators will now have to replace them.

It has been one thousand (1000) eight hundred (800) and fifty (50) three (3) days since #tftq was funded. And now Frazer Brown’s trying to copyright-troll another publication over it. Go back A1Deadline today! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dee...

And:

Slow morning, I dug up the original email he sent: “You retain the rights to your work and the original artwork, IP concepts etc. You grant us permission, in perpetuity, to reprint the work in printed form, on the understanding 100% of any future profits be donated to the charities outlined.”

Me & my comics pal @fraserc69.bsky.social were adding our unused TFTQ page to this but the con artist AKA Frazer Brown has put that on hold for now. Instead Fraser (good one) & I are creating a brand, spankin’ 1 pager for A1 DEADLINE so please… BACK IT NOW! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dee...

Last repost - no jokes to be made here about Frazer Brown for once. What he's done, threatening to derail the A1/Deadline relaunch by claiming ownership over material he has absolutely no right to, is as disgraceful as laundering around 37k of kickstarter 'charity' money.

Wake up babes, new Blockbusters reboot just dropped.

Spent the morning at FACTS in Gent. Had only one mission - to get John McCrea to sign and sketch in my Hitman omnibus. Mission very much accomplished.

Hey, comic critics following me - do you have strong or non-strong thoughts on Wonder Woman? I'd like to commission something for next year

At a house party and just recognised a bit of funk as the music used during James Acaster’s Grand Theft Auto remake…

This entire package was my introduction to Doctor Who - my parents taped the whole TV50 show which I devoured, shorn of almost all context. I have a very vivid memory of Kenny Everett introducing the H2G2 clip of Peter Davison as Dish of the Day.

Spending a rainy afternoon at a comedy MC workshop going through some basics and good practices of MC-int, ahead of what is likely to be my first improv MC gig later this month.

8 years since I stepped on a Eurostar and left the UK behind. Minus two months in a temporary apartment in the Netherlands, I've been in Belgium ever since. Even though my currently-unemployed situation isn't great, I can still look back and say that moving here was about the best decision I've made

Daily Mail The Doctor Columnists on In "The November 1 Reality War" 🤝 "WHERE IS YOUR POPPY"

I have always loved Celia Imrie, but she is just the fucking best on the Traitors. Farting, dropping pussy, being an excellent motivational PE teacher, and building up the run on Jonathan Ross. Fucking superb.

Made it to Brussels to enjoy the production of Tick, Tick… Boom! Playing at the Bridge Theatre. Really loved the film, 30/90 is often on a loop in my head, can’t wait to see what the actual stage show is like.

It might be Turn On The Heating day...

My plan today was so simple. Get a good night’s sleep. Pop the car around the corner for a full charge. Pack. Drive to Germany for a Doctor Who convention.

Sorry folks, I've bought me Thought Bubble ticket. There's no stopping me now! <checks passport location just in case>

@davidwynne.bsky.social following on from our Slow Horses chat the other night, the additional Horse in the first book who didn’t make it to the screen is Kay White.

It's like the nursery rhyme says: Oh, the former Duke of York, He had 12 million quid, He gave it to victims he "never met," For things he "never did."

When you walk into a pub for a friend’s birthday and see a friend you haven’t seen in eight years…

At the Garrick Theatre to see The Producers. Hoping to really enjoy it, as the film of the musical really didn’t do much for me. Loved the original film, though!
