David Lynch was my favourite director and I’m absolutely floored by his loss. Here’s the stupid joke of mine he inspired. Thanks for everything David.

Not sure what to get that special someone for Christmas? Well it was two days ago so I’m sorry. You’ve fucked it.

Anyway I’m bringing a new Work In Progress to Glasgow Comedy Festival in March and tickets are on sale now.

In the spirit of Christmas I'm going to use my first post to draw attention to something by @cbthorburn.bsky.social that has greatly improved my enjoyment of Jingle Bell Rock

Tweet by Chris Thorburn: Giddy up, Jingle horse, for fucks sake. Pick up your feet, you cunt.

Members of the jury, I ask you: why do we enjoy Mars? Is it the flavour? The texture? Or is it the great big throbbing vein?
