It’s a thing of beauty. The two Ronnies are to my mind perfect castings.

But… they’re six sizes too big. For flexibility?

I received a pair of jean shorts through the post today. I did not order any jeans shorts.

Who can solve this mystery?

@mrdavidreed.bsky.social was the first guest I had on who I didn't already know personally. It's since become one of my favourite chats and is also the episode that gets quoted the most by listeners (and other guests) in terms of advice and comedy wisdom. Definitely give it a listen!

I am wise.

This will be brilliant. Treat yourself.

This'll be very funny. Sunday, show 7.30 to 9.30, no booking fee on the door from 6.30. Air conditioned, food and bar. Concessions for students, NHS and 65+.

‘Sherlock Holmes’ Christmas Comedy to Star Emmy Winner Humphrey Ker, David Reed (EXCLUSIVE) Birmingham Rep has unveiled key casting for its upcoming world premiere of 'Sherlock Holmes and the Twelve Days of Christmas.'

Penny Dreadfuls fans may be interested to know that Humphrey and I have written a very daft murder mystery and we’ll be playing Holmes & Watson in it. Christmas in Birmingham this year anyone?

This Saturday.

Pope Zero! Is that a thing? OH CHRIST!!!

Reminds me of a Paton Oswald bit. “We don’t need to know the story of where everything comes from. Just because I love Angelina Jolie, doesn’t mean I want a film about Jon Voight’s balls.”

I got all the eggs and most bunnies. Loved it.

“Completed” this one based on a friend’s recommendation earlier in the year. Joyously put together.

I was John Hegley’s drummer for a bit. This line and other delights are seared into my mind.

Buddy the cocker spaniel peers around the corner from the top of some stairs.

We had a blast this week workshopping mine and @humphreyker.bsky.social ‘s Christmas play for Birmingham Rep. I can’t share anything with you yet, so here’s a photo of my dog. Tickets now on sale!* www.birmingham-rep.co.uk/whats-on/she...

List of Aria nominees for Best Drama or Fiction including Zeroes by BBC Studios for Audible.

Chuffed to bits that my sci-fi comedy ZEROES has been nominated for an ARIA. Massive congratulations to our brilliant team.

Brighton friends should go and see John-Luke do his thing. He’s unlike anyone else out there. Live comedy at its best.

Kev once sprung on me at a recording that I was to play Paul McCartney to his Lennon. Frantically practicing in the corridor, Peter Serafinowicz walked past. I have yet to play Paul McCartney.

LEGENDS!

Is this the grown-up version of having a really good pencil case?

That’s all I want.

I see them everywhere. Always quite jealous.

It is incredibly generous/foolhardy/noble of Suki & Paul to let Miles and I share a stage once again. Last time I force fed him a LOT of beef.

John!

Harry very much a Riker figure to my eye.
