Really pleased have been Lead Writer on BBC Radio Scotland's Breaking The News this week with @beakachu.bsky.social Tonnes of great gags from us, amazing patter, and the perfect thing after a long week of mental news. #comedy #news #scotland www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I had an amazing time on the excellent Life's A Pitch Podcast, working out which gardening implement Pixar might turn into Conan. Get it listened to now!

There's a guy at my wife's gym who brings a full 2l bottle of whole milk to his workout and finishes it in a session. She calls him 'Milk Jugs' I've never met you, Milk Jugs, but I salute you, you magnificent calcified bastard. Must have a skeleton like fuckin Wolverine.

I got my wife a pair of steel gauntlets for Christmas and she's never been happier.

I think I can safely say without fear of repudiation that Stansted is the Prestwick of London.

Lovely way to round out the year is seeing @beakachu.bsky.social and myself in the credits of Breaking the Year. I mean, 2024 is a year that NEEDED broken. Glad we could oblige. Get it watched the now! www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Love or hate Elf On The Shelf, you have to agree, it's certainly a thing that exists. Happy Christmas Eve to one and all, here's me with a killer moustache and it's quite funny.

The much-longer version of this won the Audience Choice Award at the Shetland Screenplay Festival. The locals were just glad to see hard work acknowledged. Happy Solstice @beakachu.bsky.social

If you see this, post a knight. Or an armoured cat.

Fuck aye, first time for @beakachu.bsky.social and I seeing our names under 'LEAD WRITERS' on a TV episode! First of many, I hope. Well done to the BTN team, phenomenal show.

While we've been lead writers we've dealt with Joe Biden stepping down as candidate, Ian Blackford as SNP Westminster leader, and the entire British Government AND PM packing it in. If you're in politics and want to pack it in, at least DM us so we can prepare some gags!

Move over Hurricane Bawbag, this is Blizzard Boaby

You absolutely should listen to this, and not just because I'm in it.

Plug pulled.

Really pleased to have written on the most recent episode of Radio 4's The Now Show. And yes, 'The Scottish Writer' they refer to is meeeeee. I'm going to put it on my business cards. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Very excited to be lead writer on BBC Scotland's Breaking The News with the phenomenal Rebecca Bain. We seem to have a track record of massive political resignations happening about 10 minutes before final deadline when we're lead writing so place your bets now. My money's on Rishi.

Over the moon to have come Runner Up in the British Comedy Guide's Pro Talent Writing Award 2023 with my incomparable writing partner, Rebecca Bain! Looking forward to hearing our sketch get professionally produced now! www.comedy.co.uk/pro/news/760...
