Absolute larks at the @vixleyton.bsky.social gig, as the brilliant and strange @andrewoneillcomedy.bsky.social invited the entire audience into the green room at the end of their set.

You should go and see Vix on Sunday afternoon. What else are you going to be doing? Actually that's not even rhetorical. If you CAN'T attend, or don't plan to, please tell me what else you've got on Sunday afternoon.

Sheffield! This is Sunday. My award losing Edinburgh fringe 4* comedy lecture about pettiness with @andrewoneillcomedy.bsky.social + Hannah Braggins at the civilised time of 4pm. Say QUACKS - well, write it in the discount box but also, why not say it out loud - and tix may even be free?🎫

We are having scaffolding for our leaky roof and we didn’t know the burly fellas installing it would need to go in our neighbour’s garden - extensively - and now utterly mortified. Real shame we have just bought this house as we are going to have to move immediately.

Not that I remain completely traumatised by Tiptoe, but yesterday I hesitated to mention my female partner’s name when introducing myself to my new neighbours. It all feels a bit scarier out there these days.

Sheffield! All rise for the Chief Petty Officer. After an unreal run at Edinburgh Fringe, I’m back home to do my comedy lecture on the history and cultural significance of pettiness (& scientific formula for the perfect petty act) to Sheffield Plate on 4th October at the civilised Sunday time of 4pm

As someone who violently hates change, packing and moving house this weekend having got back from Fringe on Monday, and gone back to work on Tuesday, is definitely a fantastic mental health experience. 10/10 no notes.

No one is more demanding or more likely to mess you about than people getting really nice stuff from you for free. Olio as a principle is amazing, in practice it is a frustration factory of the highest order.

On today's show, Arfie came from a long line of hermit crabs, Chrissy got a new scorekeeper and Vix's actual ex boyfriend Mark Watson scared a crow. More nonsense on Tuesday!

As a tiny free edinburgh fringe show amongst thousands of telly/insta-famous, I had low expectations on it making a dent, so for @fringebiscuit.bsky.social to flag it 3rd most talked about is surreal. Believe in your ideas! And have people who believe for you on days you can’t. And Stevie Nicks.

This morning I got a great review, this afternoon a reviewer kept falling asleep during the show… life comes at you fast at Edinburgh fringe.

If you’re heading to Edinburgh Fringe & planning to see my show, might I suggest this Sunday when Chortle are in reviewing. Would be very keen to have it not just be the two of us. Chief Petty Officer, all about identifying the moment you have taken something too far. Could be a bit on the nose.

In honour of Chief Petty Officer opening at Edinburgh Fringe this week, here are the top 10 petty pop culture moments as voted for by the UK. I used a proper research agency and everything. Binface came in at 13 when I did this, but I suspect he might topple #1 if we did it again. Do you agree?

15 WIPs. 400+ people. 11 cities. A chaotic online version. For an indie show driven by hustle, that feels huge. Thanks to everyone who created Chief Petty Officer. It’s more curation than creation at this point. Whatever happens, glad I went back on ‘never again’ Fringe in 11 days, here we go.

Very excited to be doing my last preview of Chief Petty Officer at Phoenix Arts, London next week. A comedic lecture on history & cultural significance of pettiness and how to commit the perfect petty act. Perfect for anyone who loves pub quiz trivia, Radio 4 curiosities & grudges. #britcom #comedy

Vix Leyton @vixleyton.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

One last time in London before Edinburgh Fringe. I aim to define the formula for the perfect petty act with case studies from Ea Nasir through to Binface. For anyone who loves Radio 4, pub trivia, pop culture and anything 50 cent has ever done. It’s not like other lectures, it’s a cool lecture.

Home for a (quite big) gig and the route is through an area full of ghosts from my life - Big Tesco where we did the family big shop, my uni halls of residence, where my high school best friend lived, turning for my Nana’s house. Just felt full weight of 41 years. Did not care for it. Not one bit.

The narrative podcast which I made, with a cast full of brilliant talents and absolute nobodies, is over for series one. All 24 episodes are now bingeable if you're the sort of person who likes to wait and binge. I think it's one of the better things I've offered the public in my time.

Just like Nani, who complained in clay tablet about Ea Nasir’s copper but still had to return, I’m back in the hairdressers who did me so wrong I fed back I didn’t like it, to her face; and cringed through a correction . We get what we deserve - whether through inferior copper or harsh bleaching.

Still holds.

The old yougov poll in which 12% of men thought they could take a point off Serena Williams, along with the classic tweet: “Confident in my ability to properly tennis, I take the court. I smile at my opponent. Serena does not return the gesture. She'd be prettier if she did, I think. She serves. The ball passes cleanly through my skull, killing me instantly.”

Had to miss my work in progress show tonight in London so Charlotte assembled an audience for me so I could still practice. Hoping Scrooge McDuck is going to be generous with the collection bucket at the end. I am very lucky.
