Christmas has truly arrived.

SNITCH!

V pleased to win a couple of awards at last night’s Audio Production Award #APAs. Gold for comedy and Silver for the cancer series me and Laura Grimshaw made for Radio 4!

BBC Radio 4 - No-Platformed Comedy that drives a train through sitcom-land via a platform crowded with silly jokes.

Well, this is a lovely surprise. Next month* there will be another chance to hear a show I wrote called No-Platformed which I assumed had been consigned to audio oblivion. As I recall, it contains quite a lot of strange jokes. 📻 www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

*assuming the BBC makes it to December

Back in January…

TONIGHT- 6.30pm - #TheNakedWeek only bloody well welcomes actual TAYLOR SWIFT to the show as recorded last night in London.

Think they might want to rephrase this

In personal (work) news I’m directing the Dead Ringers 25th Anniversary Live Tour - and tonight we open in Brighton. Very much looking forward to it. Dates here, if you fancy fieryentertainment.com/our-shows/de...

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family?

It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

A bit from last night’s #TheSkewer on Radio 4: The Magic St George Roundabouts.

And I didn’t even get sued.

This morning’s random episode of TTOSS featured a collapsing sofa, anti-entertainment and an all-child “suicide squad” @jonholmes.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

This irked me, too. But the ‘the’ doesn’t work either, for me. Should’ve been just

COP: Miranda rights?
DREBIN: “I’m pretty sure…” etc.

If you’re in Edinburgh, go see Robin. He’s one if those ‘excellent comedians’ you sometimes hear about.

Streisand Effect in action with this online age verification thing. I've just found out what "porn" is (pictures of people shagging!!) and it's brilliant. A real own goal for Keir Starmer if you ask me. But don't bother asking me, I'll be too busy enjoying "porn"! 😎

Surely SURELY she did not say this? Way to go, Ofcom.

Final #DeadRingers for this series in the can. Yes, the audience made *that* uncomfortable laugh noise at a couple of points. Here’s what the live recording looks like in pretty colours form. Second pic is waveform of *that* uncomfortable laugh noise. Hear the results 6.30pm #Radio4

The sound mix is incredible though. (Not so much Bono’s boots)

It’s a three way tie between Groove is in the Heart (makes me want to kill), that abomination about being gorgeous by Babybird, and Jump Around because of the noise it makes like stabbed horses.

Ep 5 of the current #DeadRingers #BBCRadio4 very much on the way at 6.30. Yes, the audience made *that* noise again. Also, just to clarify in advance - no real puppies were harmed by our Prime Minister kicking them.

A BBC news headline which says “Penguin says it did “all necessary due diligence” with The Salt Path

I’m no expert but I would’ve got a person to do it.

Take me down to the Paraphrase City

New #DeadRingers coming your way at 6.30, #BBCRadio4. Some of the subject material made the audience make *that* ‘oh god they went there’ noise. Yes, I have left them in the edit.

Are you in Sheffield on Sunday? No, you’re probably not. But here’s a reason to be! #CrossedWires. Plus, tickets are free and there’s booze. crossedwires.live/podcast/afte...

In the mid 80s, my ‘copy Don Johnson off of Miami Vice’ look came straight outta Fosters in Nuneaton.

Went to my school, in fact.

Never mind the Bob Vylan / Kneecap controversy, there’s genuinely something v funny about the BBC live streaming Olivia Rodrigo and the director cutting to close ups of 13 year old girls screaming ‘I still fucking love you’ down the barrel. Fair play. She’s really good as well. #glastonbury2025
