Would genuinely have more respect if they just said this:

Krusty trying to justify his endorsement of Kamp Krusty: THEY DROVE A DUMP TRUCK FULL OF MONEY TO MY HOUSE I'M NOT MADE OFSTONE.

I have been criticised for being part of the Riyadh comedy festival. This is why I did it | Omid Djalili

The headlines focus on money, but the gigs were great and I think there are different ways to achieve progress. Art, especially comedy, can be part of that, says stand-up comedian, Omid Djalili.

When I first saw this ending (from Mario Bava’s BAY OF BLOOD) I was unable to move for about 10 minutes.

How have the Tories not got an emergent non-headbanger lined up? Did Boris cull them all in 2019?

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.

My controversial Alan Partridge opinion is that the Gibbons brothers have a totally different concept of the character to the one Coogan developed with Iannucci and Baynham and it might as well be a different character. Their era of stuff doesn’t quite work for me.

Tony, on the other hand, I got, even though I like about the same number of films. He shoots everything like it’s an advert for things he likes - guns! cars! tits! planes! explosions!

There’s 3, maybe 4 at a push that I like, and 2 of those are the obvious ones. The thing for me is that I couldn’t possibly describe what it is that he does, there’s no identifying features.

Someone must have done some variation on this over the last 30 years but I’ve never heard it.

Keith Urban is a funny name for a country music star, it’s like having a rapper called Stuart Bluegrass.

DAMN I just realized a major marker of our generational divide is whether you:

- Come up with several short search terms encompassing the main subjects and string them together b/c you were trained on encyclopedia and fucking Dewey decimal

OR

Even worse now with the contactless pads which require positioning to the nearest millimetre, as well as encroaching across the unspoken line of demarcation across the centre of the table.

I don’t like this art. It looks like Michel Simon has won a race.
