I’m on the very funny Parody Boris Johnson podcast this week answering some excellent comedy Qs from the Parody PM himself. Have a listen: https://pod.fo/e/dc94a

Had a lot of fun recording the first episode of Vix Leyton’s very fun podcast Comedy Arcade with Thom Tuck and Esyllt Sears. You can have a listen here and I’ll be in a future episode too!

I’m doing a bit of reading in Andrew O’Neill’s online read-through of a sitcom script that he wrote. It’s this Thursday the 24th at 9pm and as Andrew is very funny, it’s highly likely the script will be too. So tune in. Here’s the link and that: https://www.facebook.com/events/323232738900642/

Also thrilled to have fan art made of my character (thanks to @thebookofmac on Twitter). You can still watch the whole thing here if you fancy it: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/726354350  

I had a lovely chat with Jamie at Fringe Festival Support, all about my general levels of despairing during lockdown and after. FFS do lots of work looking into the mental health of performers, so warning: Some stuff I talk about is a tad bleak.

I occasionally get some of my gags on Twitter in the very fun website The Poke and then usually forget to share it when I do. Starting with this week, and whenever I can remember, I’ll pop the links on here should you fancy a laugh/polite smirk/abject wailing. Here are this week’s:   1. Boris […]
