The thoughts, writing and performances of Stephen Mawhinney told from a very subjective point of view.
And a lot of sport.
And if you prefer your topical comedy with a Scottish flavour here's this week's #BreakingTheNews
Thrilled to have written for this too!

I've been collecting pandemic era signs that nobody can be bothered to take down or remove. There's something grimly fascinating about this. Putting them up was urgent and important; removing them is nobody's job. How long will some of these hang around?

Thrilled to have been part of the team for an incredible episode of #TheNakedWeek And pleased to work with Wes Streeting to give some publicity to a little known show called Celebrity Traitors.

I mean this can't possibly be true, can it? Taylor Swift on #TheNakedWeek ? I guess you'd better listen at 6.30pm to find out.
TONIGHT- 6.30pm - #TheNakedWeek only bloody well welcomes actual TAYLOR SWIFT to the show as recorded last night in London.

One thing I really like about the celebrity version of The Traitors is that there's good faithfuls in the final and not just useful idiots. (Although it helped that they decided to banish one of the less good faithfuls...)
