So that's Crunch & Crumble, RHLSTP and now Pappy's Flatshare Slamdown finishing. 2026 has been a shit year for comedy podcasts winding up. Hoping that this year's Festive Flatslam will end the series in chaotic glory!

Fantastic double bill of Isy Suttie and Ed Gamble being interviewed by Richard Herring at Leicester Square theatre for RHLSTP (rhlstp).

It's a Sunday night so I thought I'd saunter down to the Comedy Store for some impro(v) fun. Parents and tech, scat-singing, opera, burlesque. Sorry - not burlesque, my mistake - that didn't happen and if it did we all collectively forgot... My go-to for getting the week off to a good start!

After a long day at the aquarium, the otters help tidy their toys away. Payment is made promptly and entirely in ice cubes.

I've lived in this house 2 months now and still not met all my housemates. There was, however, a cat in the kitchen today, which was new. Still unclear whether it is one of the housemates. It stayed silent, turned and left the room so pretty much as welcoming as the others.

Saw the fantastic Sarah Keyworth's WIP gig at ABC Kennington tonight. For my money, one of the best MCs in the country and if tonight's anything to go by their next tour will be great too. Go see them wherever and whenever you can. #live #standup #london

Standing O for the incredible performance of 'Fire In My Mouth'. Primarily telling the story of those who died in the tragic 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, but also delivering accounts of people's experiences around that time as immigrants to the US and fighting for working conditions.

If you've not yet seen the unofficial double act of Josie and Ruth, I beg you, right that wrong. They're cosmically good.

You know and I know that I am far too old to still want to sit at the front of the DLR and imagine I am driving the train but we are where we are. (I should clarify there were no kids on the train and I only sat there for the final stop. I'm not a monster that would deny them that joy)

Once upon a time i would have been surprised by Tom Watson being involved in this but these days not so much. Disappointed, always. Surprised, no.

So Reform have launched an app that tracks small boats arriving in the UK in real time, and already their supporters are complaining that it's boring because there are hardly any boats. They are SO close to getting it.

Me and my former flatmate (and very much still current friend) are still in our building whatsapp group. Last night the chat exploded with several people reporting being issued with S13 rent increases. People reporting £400-500 increases.

Went for a walk on Greenham Common yesterday and had a peek in the control tower. I'd only ever previously heard of it in relation to the Women's Peace Camp in the '80s but lots about its WW2 and Cold War roles. Came for the walk and history lesson, stayed to chat to the free-roaming cows!

I think i've been in London too long - got away from the city and just enjoying sitting outside looking at a star-filled sky. Very calming.

So proud of our kid - delivered a speech to a group in the main hall of the House of Commons around the government failings in the EHRC and the impact it is having on people. Wish I could have been there to see them speak. Trans rights are human rights and trans lives matter. 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 🖤💜🤍💛 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈

Can't recommend Sunday nights at the Store enough. There is something so utterly joyous about communal laughter at live comedy nights, and this is one of my absolute favourites. This is a superb lineup. Go see!

Christina Aguilera was suggested as a rival character to be included in the Britney musical. We were then asked to suggest reasons why they might be rivals. Audience member: "Because the patriarchy likes to pit women against each other". Perfect answer - no notes.

Cat Mac @catherinemac.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Well - that was a lot of fun! Shamilton - the improvised musical. A different central character chosen by the audience each night. Britney Spears not my personal choice but a great show nonetheless. (Cast encouraged photos - I'm not being a dick. I did wait until the end anyway) #impro #London

Glad i got work done early and could come out to play - laughed so hard i couldn't breathe! The dance TED talk, florist cabaret, monopoly night & the M&B musical. I thought "not a mountain but a sand dune" was going to be the earworm but then Monopoly Night happened! Thanks @comedystoreplayers!
