Update: I am pleased to report that our household is now using "Unfanny Valley" as an epithet when encountering terrible AI porn ads. 😂

Anyway come see my show!

I'm not saying that this "SPOOOOOKY" phenomenon can't be explained by the fact that British train companies are unbelievably shit, mind you.

I created a show about monsters/elves/the Fae messing with humans by disrupting train journeys.
Wanna guess how many journeys related to this project HAVEN'T been hit by cancellations, delays & disruptions?
(Hint: rhymes with "A Pigfat Hero")
This is why I set off 6 hours early, though.

A green packet of Korean anchovy and sardine bouillon tablets. The illustration shows that the "tablets" strongly resemble the sweets known in the UK as Polos and in the USA as Lifesavers.

The stock "cubes" my girlfriend got at the new Korean food shop turn out not to be cubes at all.
I don't really get many trick or treaters where I live, but if I did...
"Hey kids, help yourselves to Fish Polos*!"
*Lifesavers if you're American.

I hate it when someone plays the last move in online Scrabble, and there's that pause before the ending screen so that I don't realise the game is over right away, because I end up pawing uselessly at my tile deck like a cat with a laser pointer.

A very happy dog

The aame dog, shaved and not as happy

My boyfriend's pal had to have her dog shaved for a medical procedure. The before and after photos have severe Rosie Jones/Jack Dee energy, despite being the same dog. It's fascinating.

I had *several* bowls of this.
Delightfully satisfying and tasty comfort food. It's even better the next day, when the flavours have developed and the rice has absorbed more of the liquid, making it not a million miles from a chicken soup themed congee.

Honestly, if you are going to insist upon using AI to create fake videos of horny ladies, at least make the underwear look like it's not granny pants made out of stale fondant.

But also, just don't.

Encountered a particularly unsettling, (as well as generally egregious) online ad for some sort of AI porn app.

I've decided that the genre of such abominations should henceforth be called...

Unfanny Valley.

Mostly because "slop porn" is probably already in use elsewhere.

Right. No that’s true thank you

A small sunflower with dark red petals which brighten to yellow at the tips. There are drops of rain shining on the centre of the flower.

This bloomed in my garden today and I thought of Caihua x

It's been a wild ride/infuriating ball-ache navigating the various bureaucracies, ineptitudes of the housing support system (and to be fair, collaborating with the nicer public sector and charity workers who actually want to help), but it's finally over.
Happy Not-Homeless Day, Friz! 💜💙🩷

Please share however you can.

Very excited to finally release this news more broadly - I'm going to be playing Robert Walton in Re: Frankenstein, and BOY am I excited!

(Re: Frankenstein will be an all-trans cast audio adaptation of the classic novel from the folk who brought you Re: Dracula and Re: Carmilla.)

I had some of this.
Turns out cooked unripe bananas are a pretty nice starchy side dish.
Unsurprisingly, not unlike tangy plantains. Not in any way like figs, for which I am grateful.

They really complimented the saltfish, which was absolutely delicious, and the avocado made a lovely contrast.

Side view of a comedian with blue hair, and a Van Gogh "starry night" inspired shirt sitting on stage behind a piano keyboard. In the foreground an orange pull up banner obscures the view, apparently vertically bisecting said comedian.

Another side view of the same comedian on stage behind a piano keyboard (which, this time, is jauntily perched on an ironing board). This time, my view of their head is obscured by a speaker on a stand, creating the illusion of someone with a massive black cuboid head playing the piano.

The best thing about having a comedian like @frizfrizzle.bsky.social for a partner is the prime seats you get when you go to their gigs.

If you can't handle me at my worst (eating a microwaved lasagne wearing just my pants) you don't deserve me at my best (same but with a hat on)

MUSIC FACT: Mel & Kim were able to record "Respectable" after the eleventh take.

UK PEOPLE: If you start watching Threads at 2.12pm, the bomb will go off at the same time as the Emergency Text alert.

Courtroom sketch of Graham Linehan

Wanna feel old?! This is what the guy from the Take On Me video lloks like now!

[mysterious circle of robed figures]
JK Rowling: hello children
Rowling: i want you all to give a warm welcome to graham linehan
Rowling: i've decided that it's high time we welcome him back into the mainssstream of the gender critical movement
Rowling: he'sss definitely very normal and not unhinged

I had some. My review: OMNOMNOM.

I wonder if I can manifest getting @samreich.bsky.social to appear on What's in the Box? whilst he's up at Edinburgh Fringe. I don't think he'd be *against* an improv gameshow where the game changes every show. freefringe.org.uk/shows/friz-f...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review for FUNNY TURN from Lothian Life!

www.lothianlife.co.uk/2025/08/friz...

Friz has been crafting parody songs for over two decades. They've put them in a big book and the audience will select random numbers. This means if the show is shit, it's your fault. Friz has also been pretty ill. A 2022 diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy almost made them retire from comedy. That is, until they got a big knee. A big knee that changed their life. ***** (NeurodiverseReview.co.uk). **** (BroadwayBaby.com). Winner of the Leicester Comedy Festival Best Show 2020, Writer for The Now Show, Mock the Week and Len Goodman's Partners in Rhyme.

No press. No PR. Full rooms. Glowing audience reviews. One five star review from independent press (the only press I allow in my show). I do the Edinburgh Fringe for one reason only: the audience. It is the only thing that matters. One week to go. Come see the show, you'll love it.

Seven performances left. Come see the best show I've ever written. If you don't it *does* automatically make you ablist. I don't make the rules.
