Should do an introduction I suppose

Hello! I’m Alex, I work in unscripted TV, writing questions and puzzles for quiz shows, and designing new formats for competitive reality and game shows.

I also do absurdist drag comedy as my alter ego Céilí Rae Minogue.

Feel free to say hi and ask me stuff! X

I truly hate the world we've ended up in. Cruelty dressed as justice.

Remixed songs are great because they’re like listening to that song you were already a fan of but it takes way longer to get to the bit in the song you like so you have to work harder to enjoy it x

Really special game, feels so deeply intimate yet also just out of reach. Locations feel familiar and disorienting. I want anything I make to feel this personal. Please play Heartworm.

This is the maddest tour I've ever seen in my life. It seems like he's doing more gigs than there are days in the year.

It’s been a day of ups and downs

Found out a TV format I created that was going to get made had to be shuttered due to some weird legal stuff I cannot possibly get into.

BUT also got a new Irish passport with an updated gender marker so I don’t have to travel on a male passport anymore.

I’m so happy when Dan gets to tinker with a question to add puns. The Butter Grief sequence comes to mind.
