I'm bringing my new show to Edinburgh for the full run! After last year's (award-winning!) debut, I've spent the last 11 months crafting a brand-new hour of comedy - and I think it's the best thing I've ever written. Book your tickets here: www.edfringe.com/tickets/what...

I'm wearing a lovely suit, and sitting in a window that looks like it could belong to your grandparents. Lace curtains and floral wallpaper.

The show is at 6.15pm from 7 to 31 August. The venue is Hoots at Apex.

I'm performing my new show in London on Wednesday! Come and see! I'll discuss pub quizzes, Stranger Things, behaviour on public transport, and why my mother's pretending my childhood home contained an extra bedroom. www.museumofcomedy.com/steffan-alun...
A poster for my new show in London, and I look absolutely lovely in it. Like I'm on the front cover of Smash Hits. I can't express how much you'd fancy me based on this picture.

Oh, and it's the Museum of Comedy on 8 July at 7pm.

I've missed late night trains! Drunk women are belting out I Dreamed A Dream. I am shocked by every single line as I learn what they think the lyrics are. Only one of them was brave enough to belt the final high note. "Oh my God you can SING 🥹🥹🥹" said one of the others. (She can't, really.)

We all do things at a different pace. It must have taken me 6 years between my first piano lesson and passing Grade 1. Anyway, after 14 and a half years of performing standup comedy, I have been given the Pegasus Award for Best Newcomer.

Doctor Who! The 90s! Two of my favourite things! I'd be so excited for this book even if I wasn't one of the writers for it. And Philip Purser-Hallard's book will be great too.

I just started listening to this new-ish podcast, on @steffanalun.bsky.social's recommendation. Guy 1 is writing a murder mystery and guy 2 is directing the detective's next move, like whodunit D&D. It's the kind of thing you'd probably like if you follow me. www.thedirecteddetective.com/2253345

The Directed Detective
Two hosts. One of them has plotted a murder mystery. The other must direct the detective and solve the case within ten episodes.

In my wildest dreams, I didn't expect the BBC to celebrate 20 years of the revived Doctor Who with an exploration of how filming it in Wales has made it queerer. Also: I'm in this! Discussing Wales, bisexuality and Dr Who, which are the three things about me. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Google's AI is nearly spot on here, except for the fact that S Club 7 have never appeared in Doctor Who, there is no musical number in The Runaway Bride, and it didn't air in 2005.
A screenshot of Google's AI overview, claiming:

'S Club 7 appeared in one Doctor Who episode, titled "The Runaway Bride", which aired in 2005 as part of the show's revival. They played themselves in a musical number within the episode.'

This! Been making comics for 15yrs and I am deeply aware that the only person who is gonna get the experience I want out of what I create is me. Sounds like a problem but is actually a GREAT excuse to put every queer character/dynamic into it that I've found lacking in the media I grew up with.
