Heartbroken for Hoshoryu 😢

Stoked for the Hatsu basho, which starts today. Home-made score-card at the ready.

The collection grows. #zines

Just finished this month’s #zine. Comment below or drop me a message if you would like one.

Thrilled to discover that FringeReview have put me on a list: fringereview.co.uk/blogsandcolu...

How long until the sexy clowns get their own section in the Fringe programme?

Going to be doing some comedy at the Yellow Book in Brighton tonight. Pop down if you can, it’d he lovely to see you.

I hope JD Vance comes to the UK to campaign for Reform.

The first four issues of my zine are now available. #zines

Just finished my fourth zine: CLOWNS. I found this a tricky topic, but I love making these and I’m very pleased with the result. Next month: SALADS. #zine #clowns

Kubrick turned his hand to every genre: war, sci fi, costume drama, horror, to name but a few. If only he had lived to direct a Hallmark Christmas movie.

Note: if, in the twenty-first century, your government is erecting buildings in a monumental classical style, in white and gold, it’s fascist.

EDINBURGH FRINGE 2026 ANNOUNCEMENT I’m thrilled to be bringing this stirring and surreal caper to the yurt for two weeks this August. See you there – tickets now on sale (link below). Down with the algorithm! Death to tyrants! Freedom for Switzerland! 🇨🇭🏹🍎 #edfringe #MixItUp #WilliamTell

Trump makes Ubu look nuanced.

Got more London previews lined up. I will be posting relentlessly about them, but I also need you to pay attention and cross-check all dates against your availability in order for us to make this work. Just a heads up. Don’t mean to sound harsh.

It’s #worldtheatreday so I got this in the Oxfam Bookshop on Bloomsbury Street.

Dear “gender realists”, The bible literalists agree with you.

I just remembered this 1998 charity tribute album, curated by Neil Tennant, of the songs of Noël Coward. Some interpretations are straightforward; others baffling, like this intense and moody version of “Don’t Put Your Daughter on the Stage, Mrs Worthington” by Vic Reeves. youtu.be/vay1pZjWMCk?...

Not sure why some days I find loads of fascinating fragments and other days… very little. It might be the way the sunlight picks out bright objects, or my timing, or my mood. It doesn’t matter. The time spent exploring the foreshore is the real treasure. #mudlarking

I don’t like how ‘Epstein Files’ is lazily used as a punchline in comedy.

Coming next month: a zine about CLOWNS. #zines #clowns

It's worth remembering that, under the circumstances [gestures], it's a miracle if you achieved anything at all today. And if you didn't, it's completely fine.

Campaign to replace every mention of British WWII Prime Minister with beavers.

I have nothing in my junk. #junk

Passed a child walking to school dressed as the Mad Hatter, though at first glance they looked more like the Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins. #worldbookday

Here are a few dates for your diary. If you have any dates for mine, I would be very glad to see them.

Another Leicester Comedy Festival. Saw 14 shows over 3 days. Yet again I’ve been thrilled, baffled and inspired by an abundance of my favourite kind of comedy: early drafts, full of reckless experimentation and joyful curiosity.

Here's WeTransfer acting creepy.
