Not a great singer, pretty fair on ukulele, but here’s 2,400 beautiful people at PAX Australia singing along to my song, “Shut Up, You Tiny Fool”. People are good.

I had a vasectomy last week and am still extremely jet-lagged from my U.S trip. Why these details? Because I did a set last night where the jetlag + pain in my balls collided til I was in a daze, which meant I repeatedly said “I had a vasectomy” and never elaborated. New catchphrase?
John Robertson onstage at a comedy club, his suit is black, his hair is long and white and he is almost certainly in the middle of saying, “I had a vasectomy” without elaborating on this in any way.

Here’s a fun, non-marsupial murder fact for that movie - Chips Rafferty, who played Jock, may have been spared a fate worse than death… by his death

Mention the soullessness of AI promotion, summon a bot pretending to be human.

The life of a touring stand-up is why this was my last week: - solo show in Harpenden, UK - fly to Bermuda - three shows on a cruise boat - arrive New York 6:30am yesterday - arrive 6am London today - now on a train to Newcastle to get a train to North Shields for a show - 4am train home

Beyond ejaculating where and when you intend to, there is probably nothing on earth as wonderful as playing pool on a hot summer’s day in Australia when the air-con is working.

There are many pleasures in the world, and one of them is a window seat, the Vangelis Blade Runner soundtrack and just enough sleep deprivation to smile like you’ve just shat in someone else’s pants

When I was at school there was a show called The Twins Of Destiny - two psychic tots on the run from the Empress Dowager of China and her evil eunuchs
I'd never heard that last word, thought it was spelled "U N I K" and was some kind of warrior. Which is how one fateful day at lunchtime, when we all decided to play Twins Of Destiny, the playground resounded with my joyful cry,"I'LL BE THE EUNUCHS!"
