PAID GIG looking for comedians in London who have chronic pain for a new informal panel format talking to academic pain researchers. In October.

Just a feeler at the moment as I put the idea together to pitch to the festival / funder.

Can you message me in another way? Can't read DMs due to recent boneheaded UK legislation.

London. ta.

COMEDIANS / MEDICS / SCIENTISTS / MUSEUM FOLK / OTHER NERDS

I'm looking for people who'd like to perform at a SPOOKY MEDICINE comedy show on October 29th. PAID (enough for you to write something new) 15 minute slots.

Think Halloween / Horror / Goth stuff

DM me if you've got ideas and fancy it

Got to perform stand up at the @royalsociety.org last night! What an amazing venue, and I got to catch up with my lovely former colleagues @katedoingscience.bsky.social and @sanahannan.bsky.social - Lancaster clearly makes very funny scientists! Huge thanks to @drstevex.bsky.social for inviting me.

What a wonderful experience performing stand-up comedy at The Royal Society this week! Huge thanks to @drstevex.bsky.social and @royalsociety.org for the invitation, and to my fellow comedians for all the laughter and camaraderie! 😊🎤

I hate conspiracy theories. I think they're ruining society.

That being said, that lottery was 100 percent rigged.

Laughable levels of rigged

Shanawdithit: A Woman at the End of the World Shanawdithit was a woman who bore witness to the death of her world in the early nineteenth century, creating the only first-hand account we have of the Beothuk people from the Island of Newfoundland....

I've accidentally wound up doing a mini-lecture tour of London this week & in case anyone is desperate to hear two very different perspectives on the history of Newfoundland, here they are. First, at Gresham (there are tickets left for the live stream) ... www.gresham.ac.uk/whats-on/sha...
