Dieppe is without doubt the most satisfying French town to say in a burp, followed by Rouen and Marseilles. If you can manage Aix-en-Provence good on you.

Ronnie over breakfast: "You can't say 'assist.'" "Why not?" "It's got a swear word in it." "Fair enough Ron." "You'll have to say 'pass' instead." (Eats cereal, eyes widen) "Daddy, that's got the same swear word in it! You can't say that either!" Lovely bit of morning swearing fun with a 6-year-old.

Multi talented and multi-named comedian, @alexisdubus.bsky.social, also known as the French host of The Whine List podcast, @marcellucont.bsky.social, is my delightful guest on My Time Capsule with five things from his life, or possibly lives, that he'd want in a time capsule?

This is a new thing. If you liked the book, or Comfort Blanket, or Rule of Three, and want more comedy chat, from insiders and people who know how it works, join the paid Substack and I’ll make loads more of these (whenever I bump into someone who has some good chat to share…)

Assistance needed on fresh produce aisle, it's all going off. [Sound very much required]

A quick MC Hammescher before bed. Night all.

Saw someone murdering an Elton John song the other night, reported it as Regicide.

FOUND FOOTAGE! Here's a little clip from a festive @theacms.bsky.social set at The Bill Murray, London, 2017. 1/3

Here are some old "Next year at Edinburgh Fringe" posts from years gone by. Some references may no longer hold up as well. Artwork was done to match that year's programme style, so don't go blaming me for any font choices.

Throwing some old shit at this new wall to see what sticks...

Lovely moment with my 3-year-old yesterday. "Stan, can you close the door please? There's a draft coming through." Stan closes the door, then furrows his brow and looks at me slightly peeved. "What's up Stanley?" "Where's the giraffe?"

Post you from a different era. Llama? No, she knew I was approaching. (2004)

A song to remind me of the most useful phrases I have learnt from Italian Duolingo. (Sound up)
