A Complete Waste Of Time

A Complete Waste Of Time

I’ve barely left the flat today. I would like to say I consider this a success. The weather outside is, I would say, unhappy. It’s not terrible and angry and full of rain and bluster and thunder. It’s just grey, drizzly and generally not keen to be out of bed on a Sunday and so […]

Flight Mode

Flight Mode

Flying home from Copenhagen on Friday…. yes, I’m starting a blog like that. Yes that is exactly how I want to appear. Like a jet setting international comic who flits around the globe like a mirth explorer, a merchant of hilarity. In reality of course, I did one gig in Sweden which was ok and […]

Gig for Lincoln’s Legs in Cardiff

This is a nice article about the lovely gig I got to do with Frankie Boyle and Francesca Martinez for Lincoln’s Legs. Lincoln is a proper champ of a kid and hopefully the money raised will help keep him mobile. http://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/15526469.Frankie_Boyle_gig_raises___35k_to_help_appeal_for_boy__39_s_operation/

Classic Hero Stance

Here is an article for the British Comedy Guide about my thoughts on Netflix and Marvel’s The Defenders. It was written while I was at the Edinburgh Fringe so a) I hadn’t seen the show yet and b) I was hoping this would help plug my show. Still though, it was fun to chat to […]

Broken Winging It

Broken Winging It

I’m not sure when as a kid I got my first inkling that grown ups didn’t know everything. I’ve got a feeling it was when we were on a family trip to the US about 1992ish. Yes that’s a bit vague but my parents would save up each year, for a few years in a […]

Blog: Mind Fringes

Another blog. Still about comedy and EdFringe stuff because that’s what’s on my brain at the mo. Have a read: https://www.tiernandouieb.co.uk/2017/08/mind-fringes/

Mind Fringes

Mind Fringes

I’ve now been home from the Edinburgh Fringe for 3 days, and I’m still in the usual need for recovery. Yesterday I accidentally napped for 3 hours without meaning to. Does that still fit into nap criteria? 3 hours doesn’t feel long enough for a sleep but it’s definitely way more than a nap. Is […]

The Quietus Radio Day – September 1st

The award winning site and podcast The Quietus are doing a day of live radio on September 1st. It all looks excellent but from 7pm my brother The Last Skeptik is hosting and I’ll be guesting at some point after that too. Tune in, turn on, fall over: http://thequietus.com/articles/23054-quietus-day-of-radio

Shopkeepers in Leith

I did a silly tweet while living in Leith this year for the EdFringe. Turns out, people quite liked it, to the extent the Poke did an article about it. Which is nice. http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2017/08/30/shopkeepers-leith-no-time-fancy-names/
