Ben elton's autobiography is brilliant. I forget (dissociate) about how racist and sexist comedy still was when i started. I am hard on myself about my career...I did pretty well considering. And Shazia, who was really up against it as she didn't even binge drink to fit in like I did.

I did a keynote speech yesterday at Warwick university. It went so well. Real connection made. I have a tour show at Warwick Uni tomorrow which has not quite sold out. Did I mention the tour show to the audience yesterday? No. No I did not because I am an idiot. Thank you for your time.

Today I set up my first EVER zoom call, from my own account. Wow. Never felt so grown up since the first time I drove my car on to a car ferry when I was 45. Maybe one day I will understand what an ISA is.
