Looking at doing your first Edinburgh Fringe show next year? I'm doing a series of Zoom workshops about writing a stand up show every Tuesday evening in September. Comment below if you're interested and I'll be in touch next week with details and references.

The idea that education is the same thing as job-training and no more than that is so disheartening. Getting a job isn’t the goal. Human flourishing is the goal. Getting a job might be a step to flourishing, (or not) but to think “job” is the top of the mountain rather than base camp is so sad.

I think about BoJack Horseman a lot. A thread..

STARTING NEXT TUESDAY FOR PEOPLE WRITING THEIR FIRST EDINBURGH SHOWS! I'm doing a four week workshop over Zoom (So this time you don't have to be able to get to Newcastle!) about writing your first solo stand up show. It's every Tuesday from 1st April at 6pm. Each session lasts roughly 2 hours.

Hi everyone, I'm doing a four week workshop over Zoom (So this time you don't have to be able to get to Newcastle!) about writing your first solo stand up show. It's a four week workshop over Zoom every Tuesday from 1st April at 6pm. Each session lasts roughly 2 hours.

My stand up tour Bottle It starts in Sunderland in a week! Over the last few years, I've been putting messages in bottles in seas and rivers. But where? Have a look at this video to see where in the world they are then come and see me tell you all about it. Dates/Venues below www.imleekyle.com

Just want to nudge you towards something I'm doing later this year at The Stand Comedy Club, Newcastle that I'm incredibly excited for. It's a show called New Directions where I'm directing debut solo shows from some really promising North East comedians. www.thestand.co.uk/news/new-dir...

My new book has just gone on sale! I say book.. ebook... It's only £4 if you fancy picking it up: 366 Albums Listening To An Album At Random Every Day For A Leap Year

Over the last three years I've been throwing messages in bottles into seas and rivers! Come see me on tour from next month where I'll tell you all about it, culminating in what will be my last solo show for quite some time at Tyne Theatre on 18th April!

Just finished my new ebook, it's available today for Felt Nowt members but will be out soon if you fancy picking it up! I spent 2024 listening to a different album every day at random and have written 60,000 words about it.

The world has always been screwed around by abusers & criminals - emperors, dictators,& popes - just seems social media & borders drawn by investors leads to the next level of grotesque oppression (& to hell with every millionaire comic that’s played their rebel card while helping the obfuscation)

We are now in the Chinese Year of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. People born in this year are inexplicably good at job interviews and do their own stunts.

I’ve done it! I’ve finished! I’ve listened to an album at random (By clicking random page on Wikipedia til an album appears) every day this year. Here are the ones I gave a 10 to. All obviously worth a listen.

Off to see Paul McCartney on Wednesday in stupid London. He does three hours. Too long innit? Like, Paul, mate, you’ve got a decent back catalogue there but nobody needs Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da. Saw Jason Donovan this summer, he got it done in 40 minutes. You’re either a professional or you’re not.

Jo is a great comedian. As you probably already know admittedly.

Hitler's mother's first three kids all died in early childhood. FFS time-travellers

A few people asked if I’m doing a panto at the Stand this year and the answer is “No, but I’m doing this if you want to bring your kids.” It’s me along with Kelly Rickard, Hannah Walker and Elaine Robertson, or, using our new group title ‘Lee and Something For The Dads.’

Did 1 gig last night and 2 gigs tonight. If this trend continues I’ll be doing 256 gigs next Saturday and I’m a bit stressed about it.

I’m 45 years old and I still don’t really know how many days months hath.

Oh Lee, I have at some point enjoyed your work and understand that you are doing this without an agent or PR team so it would be remiss of me not to tell people I know who might like your comedy about it. Thanks mate.

You know that song? That Hot To Go? Anyway, it's in my head now but I keep going "L-E-E-K-Y-L-E Half man half K-Y-Jelly" And it is honestly a fairly poor use of my time.

I'd just told a story about doing a workshop where a girl with selective mutism talked for the first time in school.. then I kept talking about a beloved kids author. This is from my new special 'England's Best Comedian' which is free to watch now on a beloved and popular video sharing website.

Hi everyone, I've noticed that a lot of people say that we aren't talking about men's mental health enough so maybe we are. That's all for now, I'll let you know if I notice anything else.

Hi everyone, I've noticed that a lot of comedians say medical professional instead of doctor in their little skits. Anyway, have a nice evening, I'll let you know if I notice anything else.

You know, comedy has taken me some amazing places. Who'd have thought that I'd get to eat free pizza in an accessible toilet in Dronfield with Sammy Dobson, Nick Cranston and Cal Halbert about 8 years ago. And to think I could have just wasted my life.

Stephen Fry is probably the most consistently disappointing figure that people don’t want to hear it about. Except David Jason obviously.

Right. It’s time for me to say this. We need a Scrappy Doo reappraisal. I loved him as a kid, so did you, until the internet told you different. He’s passionate, up for a scrap, and has many workable catchphrases. Unlike Scoob with his too tall mismatched sandwiches.

Hello everyone, I feel like I want to tell people that I had a day today that felt useful and nourishing which is good because yesterday felt quite bleak in parts. That’s all for now really.

My new special is dropping like it's a hot new pop culture reference at 8pm tonight! It's free and it is called 'England's Best Comedian' which is quite an arrogant name really. I'd love you to watch it and provide no constructive feedback: www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1Ue... #standup #comedyspecial

Hi everyone, I simply have no reason to have the hang of this yet so I am going to post two things that are plugging things I'm doing and then pop back later to see what's going on and that. The second thing is something I'm very nervous about anyone seeing so having no followers might be good.
