Good morning. With the media and political establishment cynically reusing the Corbyn playbook to deal with the progressive policies of @zackpolanski.bsky.social I'd like to keep track of comedy which assists with this propaganda campaign. Please ping me! www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index...

Good evening. As today's the 20th anniversary of the 1st episode of "Down the Line", I've dug out an old extended interview I recorded with Charlie Higson back in 2010, I hope you enjoy it. Note also that Michael Cumming is uploading the FULL "Behind the Mic" show: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZP1...

This is one of the funniest & most audacious things I've EVER seen. In an era of almost complete media complicity & fealty - where even ridiculous Trump lies like "I thought it was me as a doctor, not Jesus" don't get called out by the press pool standing there - The Onion has become indispensable.

Good morning. The 2nd of May will mark the 20th anniversary of the first episode of Down The Line, the single-greatest radio comedy show made within that period. We're revisiting it at the minute if you'd like to join in with listening along. www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index... #whatispoint

Oooh, a Stewart Lee podcast, looks like there's still tickets available for the two pilot episodes: machcomedyfest.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/... #Machynlleth #StewartLee #RobertLloyd

Harold Pinter's extraordinary 2005 Nobel speech on American imperialism, with some notes and time-stamps. He was awarded the literature prize for his plays which "uncover the precipice under everyday prattle and force entry into oppression’s closed rooms.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH96...

On the tedium of "Have I Got News For You" still desperately trying to push the idea that Jeremy Corbyn is a virulent anti-Semite. www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index... #JeremyCorbyn #Ye #HIGNFY

I give up trying to finish this now, moaning about the obvious horrors of bombing cancer research centres seems almost absurd when we've so rapidly progressed to threats of civilisations being erased. Note the UK's help in manufacturing consent. Post #2005 www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index...

Sadly, I never really got into the original incarnation of The Onion back in the day, but the new iteration is absolutely SUPERB. Just banger after banger after banger.

The legendary Garry Shandling died ten years ago today. I'll be rewatching "The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling", the superb Judd Apatow production. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-review...

Thanks for the war crimes update, The Guardian. Maybe leaving some pertinent facts out re: Lebanon, who now have over a million displaced citizens in just over two weeks?

Great piece on Iran from class perspective. The "negotiations" revolved around Witkoff & Kushner trying to get Iran dependant on suckling the tit of American energy dominance. Maintaining their energy sovereignty & refusing to be integrated into American hegemony = war. mronline.org/2026/03/06/i...

Reminder that Omid Djalili isn't just another bloke with Twitter brainworms, rather he's a paid up propagandist. There are reasons you don't see him moaning about Brits jailed in Dubai for posting war footage on social media. Thousands & thousands of reasons. www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index...

Miserable bout of consent-manufacturing by Radio 4 for the banning of the Al-Quds Day march. Faisal Bodi gets treated like crap throughout and is strenuously prevented from pointing out the extensive ties John Woodcock/Lord Walner has to Israel & weapons companies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_bU...

This gentleman has absolutely impeccable comedy timing and delivery! 18 minutes in on the latest episode of The Naked Week, highly recommended. "War, Law, and Operation Amol Rajan" www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Back in November 2017, I stumped Michael Cumming - the Brass Eye and Oxide Ghosts director - by asking him about the pink cake in the Brass Eye title sequence. He's finally solved the mystery: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hdks... #BrassEye #ChrisMorris #OxideGhosts

Good morning. Radio 4 Extra are celebrating the centenary of Kenneth William's birth. At 10.42am you can hear his version of Nikolai Gogol's, incredible "Diary of a Madman", a story which directly influenced Chris Morris & Robert Katz's Rothko monologue/My Wrongs film www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Late to the party here, but Icklewick FM by Amy Gledhill & Chris Canrtrill is absolutely incredible. Has the spirit of Down the Line and the studied silliness and layered sound design of On The Hour. The first three minutes had me hooked, it's really, really funny. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

Links to the latest Stewart Lee media appearances. www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index... He was on the Gilles Peterson show, 40 minutes in, listen before it drops off iplayer, GP is always great: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... Enjoy!

There's a "Yes, Minister" quote for everything. "Sir Humphrey Appleby: Think of it as a child's tantrum over a rice pudding. Won't touch it today and yet wants two helpings tomorrow."

This is what "cancellation" actually looks like, but I bet you won't hear Toby Young/Free Speech Union, Spiked, Triggernometry, Andrew Doyle, Piers Morgan or any of those other chancer pricks covering this story. Props to Robin Ince for leaving the increasingly institutionally transphobic BBC. <3

We're following the last day of the Graham Linehan trial: "Bumhole of the Bailey: Kamikaze transphobe Graham Linehan, divorced from reality" www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index... #Glinner

I've been trying to find concrete proof that Peter Thiel funded the "Comedy Unleashed" movement for a while now, if anyone can help. It's been known for years that Thiel inspired and funded the "Free Speech" Union in order to normalise race science and transphobia, but culture needs more attention.

Stewart Lee's crisps bit and crowd work circa 2010, reviewed by Laura Lexx and The List. With thanks to buzby for the finds. #LauraLexx #StewartLee #Crisps #Plain

@thejudyroom.com Hi I'm hoping you can help me with a query. Are messages like this one just engagement-farming, or was the Judy Garland Show almost wiped? I can't find anything to verify this claim so far, just loads of dodgy accounts all seemingly farming engagement. Ta. bsky.app/profile/paul...

As everyone predicted, Gervais was lying and trying to jump on the "wah I've been 'cancelled'" bandwagon. Absolutely desperate stuff. www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index... #RickyGervais

The utterly incomparable Nichols and May.

With thanks to DBC: Cultplex in Manchester will be having a "Nathan Barley marathon" to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of Chris Morris and Charlie Brooker's sitcom. Tickets and info here, Saturday 15th November: cultplex.co.uk/Cultplex.dll... Have fun. #ChrisMorris #CharlieBrooker

It's a joy to listen to the bedazzled soundtrack again, I'd entirely forgotten Bob Efford's extraordinary tenor saxophone on Goodbye George. I just love Dudley; incredibly talented jazz musician & one of the single greatest and most likeable comedy performers ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eIJ...

With thanks to touchingcloth for this: Chris Morris will be appearing with Cory Doctorow. Be warned that it's sold out but perhaps you can get a cancellation or something. Note that CM isn't listed on the Barbican site but is appearing. www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index... #enshittification

Yeeesssss, I'm so happy about this! I missed the Observer columns sooooo much, thanks for bringing him back and good luck with @thenerve.news I love it!

#ChrisMorris #NathanBarley #CharlieBrooker

@cheeseford.bsky.social I'd totally forgotten about this til I was hunting through my Twitter the other night, but did you get them CM tapes done? I think someone gave a stash to you as I was already swamped, but can't remember what happened to them. Getting everything pulled together and upgraded.

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer. This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

This is an excerpt from the BBC compliance form for the 3 hour #ChrisMorris radio special, "Raw Meat Radio." Isn't it about time Radio 4 Extra gave this another airing? Can you please pull some strings @maryannehobbs.bsky.social ? (With thanks to Sophie Black)

Chris Morris disguised "Four Lions" filming locations as kid's party invites in order to guarantee secrecy. #ChrisMorris #FourLions

A timely reminder that Cook'd and Bomb'd has ongoing, comprehensive discussion regarding the continuing massive public breakdown of professional transphobic recidivist, public toilet enthusiast & potato-headed stain on Irish culture, Graham Linehan. #Glinner www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index...
