Can you spot my Dad in this little lot?

Whitstable beach in December!

It's as beautiful as it always is, albeit differently so from its summertime beauty.

And it's right here on Whitstable beach that I record the intro to every episode of my new podcast, Letters To My Dead Dad.

My pal Paul Elliott has made an ace video for the festive song I recorded the other day. Surely destined to be the Christmas number one?

First light on Whitstable beach earlier today, on the shortest day of the year.

And what should I spot on the path, but a huge bumblebee. Like a promise of summer.

Happy Winter Solstice, everyone!

Coming up in spring 2026!

Funny Rabbit's autumn season finished with a bang on Friday in a show starring the mighty @markthomasinfo.bsky.social ably supported by guest spots Livi Kolinsky, Chris Penfold and Jay Blakesley.

Going through a pile of old Doctor Who magazines before recycling them, I found this make-your-own theatre among 'em.

So had to make it.

Obvs.

I love the student guest acts in Funny Rabbit.

This Friday, two of the three guest acts at Funny Rabbit are Livi and Chris who are both doing my second year module on 1980s alternative cabaret.

Here you see them performing in a recent class.

Ho ho ho! Our Xmas Special on Friday includes a festive gift especially for you!

Yes, it's the most precious gift of all. THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER!
And with the mighty @markthomasinfo.bsky.social onstage, belly laughs are a cast iron guarantee!

"White Christmas" thrown together by Joe and me.

Joe's on the new ukulele we got him for his birthday. I'm on the octave mandolin I got recently after saving up.

Festive musical fun from me and my son.

Just a week to go before our amazing Funny Rabbit Christmas Special, starring the legend that is Mark Thomas!
We're in the theatre, so still plenty of tickets available.
Don't miss it!

Jac made the mistake of letting me decorate one of her gingerbread men.

Is that a straggly Santa beard or is he just drooling heavily?

You be the judge.

I love creepy Santas. And they don't get much creepier than this blood-curdling white-clad Santa I spotted in a Thai restaurant in Whitstable.

Jac, Joe and Tom have decorated the Christmas tree while I've been work. Lovely to come home to a tree that's full-on festive.

Our next show is an absolute belter, starring the mighty @markthomasinfo.bsky.social

That's right! Mark freakin' Thomas!!

Due to popular demand, we've had to move the show to the theatre.

Start the festive season in style at Funny Rabbit!

Red Bull advent calendars are "a thing" now.

Spotted this in Tesco's last night.

24 days of feeling festively jittery, yours for a mere thirty five freakin' quid!

Wow.

How do comedians use their bodies as a defining feature of their onstage identity and as a tool for establishing a relationship with the audience? In his KWI lecture, @oliverdouble.bsky.social questioned the notion that stand-up is primarily a verbal form. Now online on YouTube: tinyurl.com/2mwmxxsf
