There's a thing in The Times today about me. I just want to make it clear that I did NOT go running to the press in a tantrum about not being commissioned! It's not an interview, they didn't contact me. I wrote on my substack for transparency about rejection, not to bitch.

Haha thanks! The chips will haunt me forever but yes, onwards 💪

Yeah I tried to cram as many ideas as I could into the pilot, to show the full range of comedy I’m into. Unfortunately can’t do much more than that, seems to be a number game. Although I wish it could have been promoted a bit better by the Beeb, I did what I could on socials

Looking forward to watching Mitchell & Webb tonight particularly cos there’s some newer faces and writers. I wrote about the sketch show renaissance with a Scottish slant for @snackmag.bsky.social, read it here: snackmag.co.uk/zara-gladman...

Sick of websites suggesting long, complicated, forgettable passwords to me. If I wanna get hacked then that’s my prerogative.

Why do critics feel the need to preface a review with “TikTok comedian” or “online comedian”?

Pal, you’re an “online critic”!

Maybe just review the live comedy that’s in front of you without bias or judgement about how they got there. This is the world we live in now, get with the times babyyyy!!
