Hey, nice to see you on here. Good luck in Edinburgh this year. I wanted to see your show but I couldn't make it work as I'm having a very short and tactical Fringe after being unemployed for 7 months. Maybe see you on Blair Street, looks like I'll be there a lot.

It took you 24mins to repeat something from a 34 year old episode of Seinfeld? The jerk store called, they're all outta you!

I guess you blocked me because I won, huh?
Good night. xx

Well, I also have this account where I try to promote and review comedy all over the UK, but mostly London and South-East tbh.
I took a break to get a job, but I hope to resume normal service now. Where abouts are you and do you go to Brighton / Edinburgh Fringe or any other fests?

Screenwriter doing a press conference chuckles "It just wrote itself!" in an unguarded moment. Silence descends. The interviewers' faces fall. Everyone packs up and starts filing out. "No, no, not REALLY!" the writer gabbles. "I wrote it! I wrote it!" But it's too late. His career is over.

I think most of the old Tory racists who lust after Reform remember the Cold War and still have a bit of geo-political sense. They're probably sickened by Farage's pandering to Russia, and she had to differentiate somehow.

I've been searching for indie podcasts by lesser-known comedians with no ads…

I knew I'd hit gold with BOYS GONE WILD when @horatiogould.bsky.social immediately said 'cunt' and improvised an LBC phone-in that made me laugh out loud.
