feel VERY weird doing this, but if you have liked what I've made and/or done and/or said, please consider sliding me a small cappuccino across the bar?
I made a ko-fi and forgot to tell anyone :D

If you love LMAOnaise but can't pay for a full subscription, I'd love it SO much if you'd consider a one-off donation!

This is also where to order print newspapers now, AND/OR a pdf version to download if you simply can't wait!

Was not expecting to hear the phrase "up to their eyeballs in clunge" in reference to Watership Down but I have to thank @eleanormorton.bsky.social for the huge lol I did

So much amazing comedy and cabaret this week across the country. I’m so relieved to see that the London drag community are remembering Sondheim on the anniversary of his passing with possibly THE BEST SHOW TITLE OF ALL TIME!!??

Paying for a PR for Edinburgh Fringe is just not an option for a lot of people. Doing your own PR may seem really daunting, but there's loads you *can* do yourself.

So, we've put the recording of our March workshop out for all!

Helloo! LMAOnaise has had a little setback with the reviewers accom I was hoping to get from the Fringe (didn't get it!)

If you think Ed Fringe could do with thoughtful commentary over personal remarks & star ratings, I'd love a hand getting there!!

All this money & energy spent to make life more miserable for trans people could've been used to fight against domestic violence, wage disparity, sexual harassment, harassment of people accessing abortion services, proper childcare provision; you know, to make the world a better place instead.

This is also an astonishingly weak piece of reasoning: it's the Supreme Court version of 'we can always tell.' The problems 'the duty bearer' faces here are no different from the problems the duty bearer faces when confronted with gender non-conforming cis people.

There's clowns and songs and remember Skins? That show that perfectly reflected what our teenage lives were like completely for sure 👀 I was like that, it was like looking in a mirror, same for you I presume?

Comedy is still full of men like Russell Brand, not even close to being as famous or influential as him, but still protected, lauded even. I hoped the documentary and investigation might open that up to scrutiny, but it never did. It is still happening
