These guys are protesting about 'groups of fighting age men threatening local areas'. You've got to admire the irony.

The great @rmcunliffe.bsky.social recommended this on a recent @ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social - and she’s spot on, it’s magnificent and very topical to now. I really need to catch up on Frank Turner’s stuff. music.apple.com/gb/album/193...

Very happy for Spencer Jones (Dogs, @pleasance.co.uk ) too. I had a big stupid grin all over my face throughout the whole thing. #edfringe

John-Luke Roberts. An absolute master of the stand up art and an absolute master of language as well. Not as high concept as previous shows, but he still delights in sneaking deeper topics into sillier wordplay while building a beautiful world of complex ideas. #edfringe

Honestly, you could spend your whole #edfringe never leaving the @monkeybarrelcomedy.bsky.social village and just have a wonderful time.

Saw this yesterday, and it deserves to win all sorts of stuff. The best written show I’ve seen so far at #edfringe, every line crafted beautifully, every dark gag delivered with sly charm. Very much recommended.

Like an idiot I bought 3 tickets for Nish Kumar @monkeybarrelcomedy.bsky.social for Friday 21st at 1450 - before realising I’m not in Edinburgh till a week later. Is there a good home they can go to? (20 quid for all 3 if you put the difference in his charity bucket at the end) #edfringe

The Comedy About Spies at the Adelphi Theatre is an absolute joy - expertly crafted silliness by Mischief Theatre. Go see if you can.

I’ve really enjoyed reading Notorious by @ottoenglish.bsky.social - he’s so good at telling gripping stories that go against the usual narrative - this time on people, groups (and in one case, microbes) traditionally thought of as villains.

That final episode of Tiptoe is the most tense, uncomfortable bit of TV I’ve seen in a long time, even though you know how it’s going to end. Masterful writing by Russell T Davies.

Can’t do much other than read in this weather. So, a pleasure to have The Full English by @stuartmaconie.bsky.social - an affectionate, honest and witty travelogue following JB Priestley’s Daimler tracks. Patriotism reclaimed.

What I love about Chris’s appearances on The Bugle is that he sounds like he’s really, really enjoying himself. He should do satire more often.

Give Jo Martin a proper run at it, setting the whole show pre-Hartnell. Chibnall gifted us a baggage-free, simplified premise - the Doctor on the run from the Time Lords.

I love this record, it was my favourite of last year. The cover, however, looks like what you get if you feed the title and artist into an AI slop generator.

Belatedly getting into Shrinking on Apple TV, and it’s my new favourite show. Script, performances, direction and music - oh wow, the music - all come together beautifully. youtu.be/HIJjT-Dd62k?...

Just finished this, brilliantly written by the late David Cavanagh - an honest, enthralling portrait of British independent music in the 80s and 90s, spending as much time on the near-misses and failures (18 Wheeler?) as the successes of Creation Records.

I’d very much recommend this book from @robburl.bsky.social - a history of the (dying?) art of the TV Political Interview and a memoir of a life in political broadcasting. Witty, heartfelt and balanced.
