In 4 weeks we'll know the outcome of the 4th Alex Horne Charity Football match - will Chicken City get revenge on Egg United? Will Nish Kumar completely destroy Elis James' confidence? Will Maisie Adam remember being there? Will I want someone to score more than I wanted this for Johnny JR?

If Infantino had a spine, he'd pull the tournament, but he loves feeling important. The bar was set so fucking low with Sepp Blatter, and he still manages to limbo underneath it. The World Cup was everything to me as a kid but I've not been able to engage with it for years now.

Lots of fun at the Hackney Empire courtesy of the Socially Distant Sports Bar boys with guest Charlie Baker. The perfect balance of sport chat, jokes, Elis' history of West Wales and Mike's bullshit.

Pre-show at Hackney Empire, the playlist includes a mashup of Waka Waka and Men of Harlech, and Welsh Drill. Living my best life here!

Today I discovered that there are BSL videos which appear on railway platform signs now. I clocked one at Peterborough as we were travelling through and now this at King's Cross. What a great step towards improving accessibility

This will never not be funny to me. (I am very easily entertained)

This is not a drill - Breaking and Entering are back for one night only! I loved their regular gig "The Playground" - so many great memories and introduced me to lots of brilliant performers. They are performing as part of Hoopla's 20th Anniversary: www.hooplaimpro.com/improv-comed...

On Trans Day of Visibility, a reminder that Trans rights are human rights #TDOV

My favourite part of a Pappy's record is when the room takes a break to catch our breath. Glorious chaos. #FlatshareSlamdown

Oh my goodness! Long-awaited trip to see @schoolofnight.bsky.social at the lovely Park Theatre. Worth the wait, a sublime way to spend an evening of beautiful storytelling. If you're in London, they are back at Park Theatre 26th April and at Hoopla 21st May. Don't miss them! #London #Improv

The granddad in the play was celebrating his 75th birthday. During the show, the AI fed the line "we can pretend we have a real reason to celebrate". AI is brutal. Very funny, but harsh. Anyway, that resonated because it's my Dad's 75th today. Happily, I am not AI (I don't think)

Another lovely trip to the Free Association at the Old Union Yard Arches. Play-I involved people improvising around an actor being fed lines by Ai. Fascinating to see the tech and watch how it played out. A funny, dark hour of improv.

This is very true. And it is *also* an attack on trans women and on LGBT+ people in general. And of course, bigotry being what it is, there's oft also a heavy element of racism (see: Caster Semenya, Imane Khalif). Solidarity is self-defense.

in case anyone is unclear about what's going on: every so-called "concern" about trans women is a trojan horse porting misogynistic standards for the category of "women"

This might be the one reason I would watch traitors. Or... more likely... the reason i'll watch YouTube clips of the highlights from the series after the fact.

I think my dishwasher is part of the Patriarchy... That'll just say "I've got problems" by next week, you just wait and see.

Yesterday, I forgot the word for blinds whilst stood 3m away from them and couldn't find an adequate way to communicate other than charades. I'd say it was a low point but i've definitely done much worse. ...plus it made my flatmate laugh so it's all good. But also shameful.

This weekend features new-to-me Impro formats - going to be a fun & interesting journey of discovery. On Saturday, it's Play-I at The Free Association. Really intriguing concept which incorporates AI into the world of Improv. Do go and see! shows.thefreeassociation.co.uk/fa-shows/pla...

Had a weekend away with friends. Only a one-nighter but felt like a few days off. Put enough good vibes in the tank to see me until Easter, when I can go home for a bit for a full recharge!

Listening to a podcast and a discussion came up around environmentally-friendly funerals and someone mentioned choosing between having a wicker or wool coffin. My first thought - because I am an idiot - was "oh, I can't be having wool. Sensory nightmare and I'd be too warm"

At the historic Hackney Empire to see the fantastic Bridget Christie (with Helen Bauer providing excellent support) Very fun evening.

Go see some live comedy. Even if it isn't us. Go see real people doing their thing. Nothing like it.

I bet that postcard did more for the Suffragette movement than it could have imagined.

Finally made it to the OG @alwaysbecomedy.bsky.social, having been to Chelsea. The surprise edition of Kevin Bridges to the already phenomenal lineup of Nish Kumar, Cecily Hitchcock and Elis James made for a laughter-filled evening. What a great set of venues and really lovely gigs.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Saturday night fun at Hoopla - superb lineup of The Science of Living Things, One of Us and Dreamweaver Quartet. #Improv #London

Anxiety Club, Silent Soundtrack and MathsProv tonight at the Free Association.

Looking forward to this tonight - great show, great venue - wins all round! #London #Improv shows.thefreeassociation.co.uk/fa-shows/anx...

Had the best night at the Store thanks to #comedystoreplayers - I think we saw a potential candidate for a new national anthem, exploring life in 2026 Britain. I reckon it's a go-er. Also a realistic inspirational song "Just don't do it" and the lengths folk will go to for the last can of nuts.

A Flo and Joan song for every occasion www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEtN...

I'm going to mention this again because enough people have signed up to make it non-embarrassing. Among many other things, you get four tickets to my shows a year, so if you were thinking of maybe coming, it pays for itself: a little like a Two Together railcard, which I also really recommend.

On a call to Mum and she's going through a family bowling booking: "we have two lanes so we'll do an old vs young people" Me: "yes! We'll absolutely hammer you!" Mum:... Me: "...oh wait... Am I an oldie now? Dammit."

Very exciting - I've wanted to see School of Night for a long time. They are not only part of Hoopla's 20th birthday celebrations next month but also have 2 dates at Park Theatre coming up. parktheatre.co.uk/events/the-s...

THSLSTP! 😁

New @thehornesection.bsky.social podcast series coming up soon - these ones are being recorded live at the Leicester Sq Theatre. If the rest of the series is anything like last night, we're in for a real treat!

Any any suggestionsm that non white people can't be British or English should be like saying the sun orbits the Earth and the moon is made of Stilton. It should make you look like a complete fucking looney. Not a candidate for Westminster

Proof that conditioning works. Tired AF, pop this on, within seconds feel like i have enough energy for...say...another 100 minutes. Same still happens with last year's Improvathon signature song. youtu.be/6-R0DV2z5DE?...

I have to leave to go home soon but I am not ready for 2 things: 1) facing daylight. I should have packed sunglasses. 2) it's not the 80s outside. I'll need to load up a playlist first, I think.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

I kind of missed the fact that we stepped into March yesterday. Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus Iawn i pawb! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 youtu.be/9YFGM8LXRPM?...

I already love it here. #Improvathon

It’s taken us nearly 7 years to make 150 episodes because You’re Dead To Me is so extensively researched and carefully scripted, we go slower than other podcasts. Thanks so much to all the listeners who have joined us! I hope you’ll join us for the live theatre tour in March & April too 😁

Excellent news!

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏

Matt Goodwin won't admit that the Greens and Hannah Spencer ran a better campaign than he did for Reform. She spoke to voters in Gorton and Denton about genuine issues instead of spewing fascist bile and anti-immigrant bigotry. He's a comment section charlatan that got spanked by a Manc plumber.

Thank you Gorton & Denton for not letting Reform in. It means I can come home for Easter without feeling deeply, deeply ashamed.

Ah, just more men thinking they have any fucking right to police women's bodies.

If journalists will let the IDF do this to their own, it's no wonder that Palestinian civilians have had such poor allyship from the mainstream media www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

More than 50,000 people have now written to their hospitals asking them not to use the terrifying Palantir's software. Why not add your name to theirs? goodlawproject.org/campaign/sto...
