Hey, nice to see you on here. Good luck in Edinburgh this year. I wanted to see your show but I couldn't make it work as I'm having a very short and tactical Fringe after being unemployed for 7 months. Maybe see you on Blair Street, looks like I'll be there a lot.

Well, I also have this account where I try to promote and review comedy all over the UK, but mostly London and South-East tbh. I took a break to get a job, but I hope to resume normal service now. Where abouts are you and do you go to Brighton / Edinburgh Fringe or any other fests?

Screenwriter doing a press conference chuckles "It just wrote itself!" in an unguarded moment. Silence descends. The interviewers' faces fall. Everyone packs up and starts filing out. "No, no, not REALLY!" the writer gabbles. "I wrote it! I wrote it!" But it's too late. His career is over.

I think most of the old Tory racists who lust after Reform remember the Cold War and still have a bit of geo-political sense. They're probably sickened by Farage's pandering to Russia, and she had to differentiate somehow.

I saw him being fawned over (and insulated from the public) by TV execs at a Brian Butterfield Preview Show. I was looking around, bored, saw him and did a double take - that really fucked him off. Then he went to a special toilet upstairs none of us were allowed to go to.

I see you're using a service like buffer or something to schedule your Bluesky posts. For some reason it always outputs images in a square wrapped, I had to accept it, I make all images square now. I reported it and they fixed it for a day, then they ignored me cos I don't pay and it broke again. xx

CHEAPSHOW remains the best, funniest, most honest, indie comedy podcast available. I put the new episode of @cheapshow.bsky.social on as I left the house and was in tears within minutes. Fuckin' hilarious. They were on top form this week; wry observations about 'secret gardens' cracked me up 🤣

Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻 we saw the last night of his run in Edinburgh, surprisingly awful. Hollywood celebs had been two nights before and instagrammed it, so room was full of Americans going "spring break" crazy at literally nothing, he was coasting. Bit disappointed cos I'd heard such great things.
