Stand-up comedian, podcast host, Lisburn-born. I believe that's what they call in the business a triple threat.

The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.

My book sales have dropped off this month, which finds me in self-promotion mode.

As opposed to Twitter, which is of course full of lively debate and not incessant right-wing hate, decapitation videos and ads for the worst products you can imagine.
If the Internet is a big plate of shite - and it is - at least let me have the equivalent of a fucking condiment.

Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

Kind of fucked up that there is only one song about the Return of the Mack. Feels like it'd be a bigger deal.

Please repost (retweet) stuff on here. Once that stopped on Twitter, we comedians didn’t feel the platform was working for us. I know it’s a wank thing to ask to publicise us, but we need it and we publicise loads of other things. Isn’t reposting a comedian better than reposting outrage? I hope so.

My Twitter is gone! Just way too grim these days. Plus it also deletes a lot of my terrible early attempts at being funny, which is great for me and my street cred as a good comedian.
