Thank you to every venue who decided to NOT use fireworks tonight. Fireworks have a devastating impact on animals and also on humans. Thanks for being considerate and kind.

Laughter, gratitude, tears of appreciation and wonder @thebooklounge.bsky.social last night for the magical celebration of Andrew Brown's win of the Sunday Times Fiction Prize for his The Bitterness of Olives. An unforgettable evening of pure joy.

Nah, you got this. And good to see support for stand-up! Have fun :)
Hosting an open mic comedy showdown at 10am, in an open air amphitheater with foot traffic going past.

What could go wrong?

(Everything. Everything)

But the prize money is R10k and the city is supporting stand up. So let’s make it happen!

Agreed
I’m finding the community here far more engaging and respectful, while still wickedly funny. Happy to be migrating to these friendlier skies.

I'm so glad my feed is full of David Tennant and Michael Sheen and Good Omens and Doctor Who and cool art and doggies...

And not MAGAts.
