Read this article from my friend Lewis about Ben, the real person behind PAC. I was there for a decent amount of this, was at his first matches and was great seeing him, for it turns out, the last time at Les's funeral. Still in shock. cultaholic.com/posts/rememb...

Remembering My Friend Ben, The International Wrestling Superstar
To most of the rest of the world, he was PAC. Or Neville. Or ‘The Man That Gravity Forgot’. But, to me, he was simply Ben, the local lad I spent a great deal of time with during some of my most format...

Keep seeing posts on Facebook and Insta about the incredible billion dollar box office the Michael Jackson biopic achieved and the tone is "case closed😎" like he can't possibly have been a child rapist coz his hagiographic fluff piece made a bunch of money.

Just awful news this morning. There will be loads written about what an athlete Ben was, and he was. A top ten most spectacular wrestler of all time, travelled the world, was amazing as recently as two days ago when he worked a pay per view.

I know that Toby Young et al thrive on the notoriety and that the best thing to do is not give them the oxygen of publicity. But I'm more excited about the day he inevitably deprives himself of oxygen when his asphyxiwank goes wrong.

I hereby officially offer Toby Young out for a fight. And not for charity, for an actual fight. So, Toby, I'm sure you learned jousting or some shit at the school daddy begged you into, so let me formally ask if you want your fucking go?

Lee Kyle @imleekyle.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
First they came for Toby Young and I was like "Fucking get in! Destroy the fucker, go on, kick him right in the balls until they atrophy!" And I took great joy and laughed and laughed til I was sick in his worthless face and then I laughed and was sick more. And I was glad the camera for him.

Not even messing, I'm in Nevis in a few months, might ask if he wants his fucking go. If he's not dead by then.

All good points but I think we should also be talking about the big venues and Edinburgh uni making fat stacks whilst underpaying their staff not to mention Fringe society exec dir getting £100k per year whilst we lowly comics must pay £300-400 just to be in the brochure

Lee is a fantastic comedian. I bought the audiobook version of it last week and found it to be fantastic and inciteful. If ya wanna do comedy that's more long formed and storytelling based. Check this book out. It's a great price too.

Looking at doing your first Edinburgh Fringe show next year? I'm doing a series of Zoom workshops about writing a stand up show every Tuesday evening in September. Comment below if you're interested and I'll be in touch next week with details and references.

The idea that education is the same thing as job-training and no more than that is so disheartening. Getting a job isn’t the goal. Human flourishing is the goal. Getting a job might be a step to flourishing, (or not) but to think “job” is the top of the mountain rather than base camp is so sad.

Just want to nudge you towards something I'm doing later this year at The Stand Comedy Club, Newcastle that I'm incredibly excited for. It's a show called New Directions where I'm directing debut solo shows from some really promising North East comedians. www.thestand.co.uk/news/new-dir...

The world has always been screwed around by abusers & criminals - emperors, dictators,& popes - just seems social media & borders drawn by investors leads to the next level of grotesque oppression (& to hell with every millionaire comic that’s played their rebel card while helping the obfuscation)

I’ve done it! I’ve finished! I’ve listened to an album at random (By clicking random page on Wikipedia til an album appears) every day this year. Here are the ones I gave a 10 to. All obviously worth a listen.

Off to see Paul McCartney on Wednesday in stupid London. He does three hours. Too long innit? Like, Paul, mate, you’ve got a decent back catalogue there but nobody needs Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da. Saw Jason Donovan this summer, he got it done in 40 minutes. You’re either a professional or you’re not.

A few people asked if I’m doing a panto at the Stand this year and the answer is “No, but I’m doing this if you want to bring your kids.” It’s me along with Kelly Rickard, Hannah Walker and Elaine Robertson, or, using our new group title ‘Lee and Something For The Dads.’

You know that song? That Hot To Go? Anyway, it's in my head now but I keep going "L-E-E-K-Y-L-E Half man half K-Y-Jelly" And it is honestly a fairly poor use of my time.

I'd just told a story about doing a workshop where a girl with selective mutism talked for the first time in school.. then I kept talking about a beloved kids author. This is from my new special 'England's Best Comedian' which is free to watch now on a beloved and popular video sharing website.

Hi everyone, I've noticed that a lot of people say that we aren't talking about men's mental health enough so maybe we are. That's all for now, I'll let you know if I notice anything else.

You know, comedy has taken me some amazing places. Who'd have thought that I'd get to eat free pizza in an accessible toilet in Dronfield with Sammy Dobson, Nick Cranston and Cal Halbert about 8 years ago. And to think I could have just wasted my life.

Stephen Fry is probably the most consistently disappointing figure that people don’t want to hear it about. Except David Jason obviously.

Right. It’s time for me to say this. We need a Scrappy Doo reappraisal. I loved him as a kid, so did you, until the internet told you different. He’s passionate, up for a scrap, and has many workable catchphrases. Unlike Scoob with his too tall mismatched sandwiches.
