Really proud of this show, I think it’s the best show I’ve done and it’s free in Edinburgh!

Only taken me 20 years of stand up to feel like I’m actually good at it. Feeling myself on stage for the first time ever.

I’ve not got a comedy agent or PR, so would appreciate any help in sharing.

I’m doing a free show at the Edinburgh festival this year for 10 days.

With the massive fees of doing the festival, the free fringe allows performers a chance to do a show in a lovely venue without losing a massive amount of money!

Man Utd are so much in debt but they’re talking about a new £2 billion stadium. They’re like my broke friend I keep seeing on Instagram being on holiday.

My 9 year old boy after Arsenal drew with Man Utd said ‘I like it when we draw because everyone is happy’. This sort of reasonable and empathetic reaction is unacceptable.

If you're interested in comedy and comedy history, this is a really good documentary about Downstairs at the Kings Head in Crouch End - the oldest comedy club in Britain and still one of the best. Made by the prolific film maker @joebor.bsky.social. Enjoy!

The thing that worries me is that Martin Lewis (the money saving expert) used to be a comedian (and gave up to become a money saving expert).

Lovely to see people turn out for the lovely Janey Godley today. I remember doing a show at The Edinburgh Festival about 10 years ago and the show next door always had a massive queue, I found out it was for her show and I realised how popular and loved she was. #RIPJaney

So over the top and I bloody loved it!
An epic movie in every way, much like the first one.
Big speeches and heavyweight performances.
Paul Mescal holds the screen, would not be surprised if him and Denzel Washington get Oscar nods too.

Very proud to announce that my book ‘Silly Poems From A Stand Up’ is now available to buy on Kindle and as a real life book!

I’ve been writing silly poems on and off for a few years, done a few on stage, got some laughs, so thought I’d put them out there.

Was an honour to host the Q&A of the amazing film ‘Reawakening’ with the brilliant director at the lovely Electric Cinema.

The film is an amazing achievement. A powerful story that constantly keeps you gripped and guessing and really stays with you. Congrats to all involved!
