The Chair Company feels so close to my personal comedy tastes I worry no-one else will watch, but you should and must. Tim Robinson is the most excellent clown of realism.

Trump calls on the Israeli President to pardon Benjamin Netanyahu:

"Cigars and champagne - who the hell cares about it?"

Netanyahu is currently on trial for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, including allegedly accepting 700,000 shekels (approx. $210,000) worth of luxury goods in bribes.

Episode one of The Chair Company was very much my jam. An anxiety dream of a thriller rooted in fragile masculinity and our inability to move on from public embarrassment.

A shadow realm below London populated by the quirky/gothic character actors who'd have been a dream cast list for #DoctorWho Season 32 in 1996, one in particular seems an obvious Doctor-to-be. Also, Peter Capaldi! It's #Neverwhere

Cracking night at tonight's Divine Comedy gig at the Glasshouse. Forgot how, for good or ill, At the Indie Disco (good) and Our Mutual Friend (ill) really sums up my student years.
