When you realise one of the best actors is actually pretty lazy when choosing his parts! #ChristianBale #Batman #AmericanPsycho #HollywoodScoop #ActorsLife

Two pictures side by side of actor Christian Bale from Batman and American Psycho. One photo says “Batman” and the other says “Batman” but between the T and the M is the letter E inserted above to read his American Psycho name of Bateman.

We really enjoyed having Shall I Compere Thee In A Funny Way? at the @buxtonfringe.bsky.social - would recommend the show to any @edfringe.bsky.social venue. If you have children, School's Out Comedy Club is fantastic - hope you can bring both shows back to us next year!

Regardless of what you think of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, this is not a good look for the Edinburgh Fringe, or for the UK. Antisemitism is real, and terrifying. The situation in Gaza is horrific. Both things can be true. Discrimination is not the way to peace, anywhere.

Following on from the news that my and Aaron Levene’s long running compilation show, Jew-O-Rama, was being cancelled by Whistlebinkies due to concerns over “staff safety”, yesterday I learnt that my solo show, Shall I Compere Thee in a Funny Way? was being dropped by Banshee Labyrinth. 1/8

When you gig in a cinema and realise the current release of films totally reflects the comedy industry!

Four movie posters with their corresponding comedy spots including “A complete Unknown” as compete, A Real Pain” as the opener, “Maria” as token woman and “The Brutalist” as the headliner.
