This is exactly as good as you'd expect. I mean it's pretty much up to you if you have high or low expectations about @herring1967.bsky.social but I'm a middle-aged white man who doesn't work in IT so I'm not the target audience and I loved it. It's a must watch.

After 43 years, Banana Cabaret slips away : News 2026 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide After 43 years, Banana Cabaret slips away - One of the UK's oldest comedy clubs to close

V sad to see the Balham Banana is coming to an end. I don't have many happy memories of the gigs I did in the early 90s, but I pretty much always had a great time here - I had to do an encore once, which I don't think has happened since. Good luck Dave www.chortle.co.uk/news/2026/01...

But I agree, it's about the relationship and it really captured the way a dead romance can be reinvigorated and become sexy again brilliantly. Grainne's piece is awesome though!

Most of the things that are wrong are just there because to do it right would make the film very boring - obvs one club wouldn't have the same acts every night (or the same audience, he seems to think people are following his progress) and you wouldn't change material every night...

It’s time to ban social media for the over-60s, restrict their screen-time and implement upper-limit age verification.

Yeah, I haven't heard of any of those fuckers either. What's going on?

I hope Tramp doesn't start a world war just so he can stay on being president, especially given he is probably going to die of ill health before his term is up. Though it'll probably distract from Epstein, so maybe still worth it for his last remaining months.

It'd still be 2026. You going back in time and changing your age wouldn't affect the rest of us. It's fundamental time tracel stuff Andrew.

Why are politicians so fucking thick these days? It was clear before the last election exactly how things would progress and yet nearly everyone seems to be greasing the wheels rather than even attempting to apply the brakes.

Centrist ideas no longer wanted in Conservative party, says Kemi Badenoch Party leader tells MPs that one-nation Tories doubting her rightward direction β€˜need to get out of the way’

Absolutely insane move from the Tories www.theguardian.com/politics/202..., though Labour seem to be making the same mistake.People who want this will vote for Reform, not you guys.

That guy is too woke for me.

If they really loved this country they wouldn’t be in Sri Lanka. They are still too woke for me.

Very glad that I am not affected by the woke mind virus. Also health and safety - get rid of that. Those are the last two things I want. Watch the wokies come for me now. As long as they lose then I don't care what happens to me.

Whichever party is committed to getting rid of human rights, that's the party I am going to vote for. Those guys have had rights for too long.

Britain is broken and that's why I am going to vote for the people who broke it.

commiserations to non-Dutch speakers, who will never know what this is about

Nope. Once they go Reform I lose all interest. Even my darling Suella means nothing to me now.

The money from these sales goes to making more podcasts, so good way to payback for all the free ones (and get a stand up show as a reward!)

Superb. Rich Hall has had such an interesting career. Always fascinated by American performers who settle in the UK.

Good work @herring1967.bsky.social ...
