Inala at House of Sisters Grimm. This was phenomenal. I have no words, just an hour of your time which will elevate your soul. Lovely venue too, beautiful artwork in the upstairs bar area for you to take in pre-and-post show. #London #Live #Theatre #Dance #isiZulu

My first @alwaysbecomedy.bsky.social in-person experience, seeing the fantastic lineup of Ray Badran, Ahir Shah, Alex Brooker, Elis James and Maisie Adam. Really lovely gig. First Chelsea, then next month booked in for the Tommyfield.

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point. I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

The good folk at Hoopla are celebrating 20 years and have an epic lineup in April. A lot of my favourite shows are here. Can't fit them all in the diary but that's a me problem - do swing by London Bridge and catch a show or two if you can #Live #Comedy #improv #impro tinyurl.com/Hooplaimpro

Okay, #improvathon memories: Almost-on-this-day in 2019, ImprovCowboy captured one of my favourite moments - Andy Smart entering the saloon as a 'stranger in these parts' & the ensuing chaos. (And then replaying the scene a few times because everyone really leant into it) www.improvathon.co.uk

This is such a fun family show - do catch them on tour if you can.

Excellent night of laughter at Cadogan Hall in aid of the PDA Society. Superb lineup and especially happy to see Elis James doing standup in English for the first time in a decade (my Cymraeg just isn't up to scratch for live gigs, sadly) Hapus iawn.

Well, well, well... if it isn't Elis James gigging in English... Stunning line up tonight at Cadogan Hall in aid of the PDA Society. Still a few tickets left so do come along if you can. #London #live #comedy cadoganhall.com/whats-on/hop...

Live at Union Chapel has consistently excellent lineups so you should have these gigs on your comedy radar - always fun nights. But they've done Ivo dirty with that description! I'm here for it though.

And once you understand why misogynists would say only men need be heard on women's rights you also understand why the BBC has decided only cis people need be heard on trans rights: their inherent inferiority means they are not worth listening to.

If you want to understand why the BBC's stance on trans rights - only platforming cis people (and only those with a sceptical perspective) - is so outrageous imagine if it only platformed men talking about women's rights (and only those with a sceptical perspective).

I want to respond intellectually but it's pointless at this stage. When are we going to tell these war mongering racists to fuck off? www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

The best way to round off the weekend is with a visit to the Comedy Store. #London #comedy #improv

Right gang. I've hit my tolerance for overly loud spaces now but can't just stop going out. Loop earplugs - yay or nay? I'm seeing mixed reviews so would welcome personal recommendations (or for alternative brands) Do they really just reduce background noise but allow you to hear conversation ok?

Another super rich, tax dodging cunt to add to the list.

The stark contrast is set to raise a simple but incendiary question: who is truly paying for Britain? Racist POS Ratcliffe, or people coming here from all over the world helping to build Britain? #UKNews

So angry with him for this shit. Absolutely disgusting.

@fallenangel2106.bsky.social How set are you on your commune definitely being in Kent and definitely being in the future?

This is so true. I'm fighting a losing battle at work though.

The audacity that a man with his attendance record thinks he has any right to dictate to others. Fuck Reform

An excellent Theatre Day with @fallenangel2106.bsky.social Firstly a laughter-filled matinee of #PerfectShowForRachel, courtesy of @wearezooco.bsky.social & @improbable1.bsky.social. The show is touring so try and catch it if you can. It's glorious fun. www.wearezooco.co.uk/shows/perfec...

Yep, one of these turned up today at my parents' house. Absolutely disgusted but not surprised that Reform are pulling these tricks.

Anuvab Pal describes Minnesota protesters with I think the most optimistic expression of hope ever uttered on @thebugle.bsky.social: “-23 degrees [Celsius] and some 20,000 people who had nothing to do with the person who was shot showed up. People, I think, fundamentally, are probably not shit”

Delighted that Elis, John and Dave are now official with their indy production company. Even more delighted with the on-brand slogan "Broadly fine content since 2025"

Perfect Show For Rachel is such a lovely show and it's in Hornchurch from tonight until Saturday. Was lucky to catch it at the Barbican last year and looking forward to another visit. Do catch it if you can. #London #Theatre www.instagram.com/reel/DUXy_S6...

Sarf London - very much looking forward to seeing this at the Brockley Jack Studio. Thurs 5th - Sat 7th #London #theatre brockleyjack.co.uk/jackstudio-e...

I see we are once again complaining about people of color being cast in a story about the Middle East in antiquity, while sparing barely a glance to the ranks of British and American white people who have been cast as Greeks, Turks, and Italians.

I forgot cockles v cockerels! Not sure how because I was struggling to breathe for that bit. It's so difficult to do justice to impro(v) gigs, it's all about what's happening in the moment and the shared experience. But trust me when I say it is the most pure fun watching people create magic.

My favourite place, my favourite gig. Tonight featured a lot of horsing around - you had to be there. Also a scene inspired by The Raven - i have loved Poe's work since I was a kid so that was perfect. #comedystoreplayers

Happy February - it's Improvathon month! Improvathon is my Glasto - all the favourite bands on one stage, festival vibes in the crowd, a weekend where the real world fades away. Plus you get to discover new performers! It's a special show. www.improvathon.co.uk #improv #impro #live #London

Love this! 🏳️‍⚧️ ⚽️ 🏳️‍🌈

I will be going and testing the laverbread here at some point. www.timeout.com/london/news/...

Still at my parents' house. We just had a door knock by Reform. I might not have been the most polite or eloquent version of myself but zero regrets. I made my point. Ych a fi.

Back in the day, Mum used to record tape messages to send to the UK for family. Some tapes of me at 18mths & she's trying to teach me to count. Only I never seemed to understand i should repeat. Mum: One Me: Two Mum: Onnnnnnnne Me: Twoooooooooo I feel like I was definitely taking the piss.

I have lots of ideas to improve football but I think we can all agree the most important one is bringing back FA Cup songs please. The more cringeworthy the better, really. The last ones I remember are United's god-awful "Lift It High" & Arsenal's "Hot Stuff" which replaced the original in my brain

...and i'm not even thinking about work- DAMMIT!

People of Kent - you should go and see this at Downe Hall on 6th Feb - Grand Theft Impro is always a fun night and this is a great lineup www.downe-kent.org.uk

Had dinner sat by a log fire and, honestly, all I need now is a massive armchair, a stack of books and to be left alone for a week. Heaven.

Took my mother to a spa as her birthday treat. Was going so well until a group joined us in the hot tub and got talking to (at) us about how El*n M*sk is a genius and how comedy on tv is rubbish and you can't say anything these days. Desperate to escape, I even hid in the snow cave for a bit.

😂 The optics are awful

That moment when you're on a delayed train and just tired and want to be home... but an extra 4 mins delay means bigger delay repay so... it's all grand. Take your time.

Oh, what lovely news!

It was never going to stop at just trans people! "Jack Murley alleged he was called homophobic names, including "fairy boy", by other staff members and told to sound "less gay" on air by a manager." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think Thursday calls for some CCR. youtu.be/DpMD2JfsusQ?...

Lauren has appeared in @showstoppermusical.bsky.social Mischief Movie Nights and Austentatious and we are always thrilled when she guests with us.

Just caught a clip of me on camera and I sound like a complete arse. I don't know how it happens - I think of something to say, then between my brain and mouth some weird shit happens and then the output is a disaster. But i'll own it. Meh, i'm an arse. What can you do? It's probably genetics. 😁

In light of the current "moral panic" and the increasingly difficult landscape for trans and non-binary people in the UK, it was time to move our allyship from a private value to a public commitment. @queerbritain.bsky.social @ianm02.bsky.social @goodlawproject.org mcma.design/collaboratio...

It's Blue Monday, and not that I ever need an excuse to play this but here we go. youtu.be/Fy5WM1xYbGo?...
