🌞 Sunday Salutations 🌞
Lloyd the dog, the sun shining on him as he sleeps on a chair that’s covered in a lovely red blanket. I’ve edited the photo so that there’s a speech bubble above Lloyd and in the speech bubble I’ve put a picture of a slice of ‘Billy Bear Ham’ (a type of ham where the slices are shaped like a bear’s face)

Throughly enjoyed chatting with @britishcomedy.bsky.social about The Early Worms podcast and a whole host of thought-provoking things for their Random 8 column/ section/ thing. Read it wherever you traditionally read your British Comedy Guide articles (on their website).
Me with a Pomeranian dog on my head. The dog looks dead happy, actually. The text reads “which TV show would you love to have been in and which part?” And I answered “The Osbournes. I would have liked to have played one of the Pomeranians” A screenshot of British Comedy Guide articles”Random 8” interview. I’ve edited around the screenshot to make it look like a badger is reading a newspaper version of The British Comedy Guide, a speech bubble next to the badger reading “WHAT A RIVETING READ! ENCORE!! ENCORE!!!!!”. I’ve also edited in a big slug with a speech bubble coming from it reading “THIS ARTICLE IS MY CHILDREN’S FAVOURITE BEDTIME STORY!”, below the slug some smaller ‘baby’ slugs.

We’re now up to four little lovely episodes of the Early Worms podcast! If you leave your house and start walking whilst listening to all the episodes of Early Worms back-to-back, you will end up 2 hours and 17 minutes from home, but boy will you have had a nice time.
The title card things from the podcast videos of ‘Early Worms’, one on top of each other. Both images show Phil Ellis and I sat on a beige couch with microphones, laughing and/ or pulling faces. Both images have the “Early Worms” logo above us (pink and swirly like little worms). The top image has the title “EPISODE ONE: “THERE IS NO U IN BURY”” and the bottom image’s title reads “EPISODE TWO: “A JUG OF SLUGS”” The title card things from the podcast videos of ‘Early Worms’, one on top of each other.

Happy Halloween from me and Lloyd Rattus-Battus Thomas. If you see Lloyd trick or treating this evening, please fill his trick or treat bucket to the brim with Wensleydale or he WILL eat your children.
Lloyd the dog and I dressed up - Lloyd is dressed up as Wallace in a white shirt, green sweater vest and red tie, I’m dressed up as Gromit with my hair in pig tails like ears and a black circle dog nose drawn on the end of my nose. We’re sat on the floor in front of an armchair, on which a backpack shaped like Shaun the Sheep is sat. Lloyd, dressed up as Wallace from Wallace and Gromit, wearing a white shirt, red tie and a green sweater vest. He’s looking wistful, and I’ve edited a cartoon speech bubble above him, in which sits a cartoon of a piece of cheese.

Went to a kids play area in Llanelli and this foal came over and asked me if I’ve ever listened to Taking Back Sunday

Big fan of this person on Vinted using their Djungelskog as a model

How on earth is a rat a ‘freak of nature’?
Humans are far bigger freaks of nature, walking upright on two feet like we think we’re better than all the other creatures, and digging up all the other creatures’ houses to build more shitting vape shops. Get a life and let the rats play football.
News story from BBC Sport which reads 'Freak of nature' rat invades Wales' qualifier. There’s a close up photo of a rat running on a football field with a caption which reads “The rat made an appearance during the second half of the World Cup qualifier”

Got some work-in-progress shows this weekend and next in Aberystwyth and Manchester where I’ll be figuring out my solo show.

‼️CONTENT WARNING: the show will touch on the subject of grief.
Picture of me from the eyes up, my hair in a messy bun, looking up into nowhere. I’m surrounded by my awful drawings of slugs. Text, which I’ve written using sharpies on scraps of paper, reads “WORK-IN-PROGRESS SHOWS. ABERYSTWYTH COMEDY FESTIVAL, Sun 5th October. WOMEN IN COMEDY FESTIVAL, MANCHESTER, Sun 12th October. Tickets + info in bio!”

Had such a lovely time being on the panel for the radio show ‘What Just Happened’ in Aberystwyth last night!

If you’d like to give it a listen, it’s available now via BBC Sounds. Gather thy ears! 📻🦡
A group of comedians stood on a stage in front of a lovely velvet blue curtain. From left to right, it’s Ignacio Lopez, Mel Owen, Robin Morgan, Kiri Pritchard-McLean and then me.

A bit of a low that I’ve had to start clarifying to my mother when I have and haven’t cheated at a game of Wordle. Just absolutely love cheating at it - very very moreish once you do that first womble down cheat street
Two WhatsApp messages I sent my mam. First one says “Wordle 1,565 6/6” and shows that I got the answer on Wordle after 6 guesses. The second message reads “I didn’t cheat xxxxx”

Bring them back. Even if it’s to teach us about vape safety, or how to use a tin opener or whatever. Please - society is crying out for the hogs

Had such a lush time in the writers' room for tonight's episode of 'What Just Happened'. Sat in to watch the recording and you're in for an ABSOLUTE treat.

You can hear it tonight on BBC Radio Wales at 6:30pm, or listen back via BBC Sounds. 📻🦡
Five people (the ‘What Just Happened’ panellists and its host Robin Morgan) stood in a line on stage in front of desks with water jugs on. Left to right we have: the journalist Will Hayward, and the comedians Mel Owen, Robin Morgan, Kiri Pritchard-McLean, and Paul Hilleard.

Just watched the ‘Feels Good Man’ doc and I think this man needs an intervention. I could show him ice and tell him it's water from the future and he'd still buy it.
A screenshot from the documentary ‘Feels Good Man’ which shows a man in posh car singing looking directly into the camera. On the screen, there’s text that reads “each Rare Pepe to understand” which isn’t relevant to this post so don’t worry about it Another screenshot from the film ‘Feels Good Man’ which shows the man from the previous photo holding a really expensive and rare “Homer Pepe” card that he’s spent a daft amount of money buying. It looks like a Pokémon card but with Homer Simpson looking like Pepe the Frog, all green with red lips.

Vanessa has opened up a right can of worms here and I won’t be silenced!!!!!!
Photo of my TV. On the screen is a man talking on Vanessa Feltz’s chat show - the subject they’re talking about is show on the bottom, which reads “Dress up for special occasions?”, below which they’ve put the email address for the show for people to get in touch (vanessa@channel5.com). The subtitles read “live. If you enjoy looking great, I respect that, that’s fantastic” A screenshot of me writing an email to vanessa@channel5.com. The title of the email reads “RE: dressing up for special occasions”. The body of the email reads “aye, I love dressing up for special occasions. Kindest regards, Anna”

A hole like this on the front, however? Lovely. I could draw a little face on my belly, become a double act. For formal occasions I could maybe put a big jewel in my bellybutton like a little troll.

Death to all dresses with backs like this. Stupid Teletubbie TV back dresses. What’s the point?? Are we meant to poke our bums out through it for the loo?? For the love of God, STOP trying to get me to show my back to the general public!!
A photo of the back of a dress, hung on the back of a wardrobe. It’s a lovely purple floral patterned dress with a high neck and gorgeous flared sleeves. However, some back-loving creep rat flea knee has decided to design it with a massive hole in the back.

Manchester! I will be in your land doing a work-in-progress show in October, trying out new noises and shapes for Women In Comedy Festival UK! Come along! Bring thy slugs!
A picture of me stood in the spotlight a small stage with big red and black curtains. Next to me is a lectern upon which a big slug is sitting. I’m wearing a big blue jumper with a big fried egg appliquéd onto it. There’s writing on the page (my scribbly handwriting on small scraps of paper) which reads “I DO THINGS SOMETIMES (a work-in-progress show). Sunday 12th October @ Lost Cat, Manchester. For the Women in Comedy Festival!”

Look what I just found on the train - hit the bloody jackpot I have, boys. Pencil sharpeners and mini slinkies on me. Going to be walking into that arcade like I’m The Wolf of Wallstreet.
A photo of a bunch of arcade tickets from Blackpool’s Coral Island, sat on a carpetted train seat A close up of one of the arcade tickets in my hand. It it red, white and black, with a barcode in the middle and text which reads “CORAL ISLAND BLACKPOOL” in a piratey font

Just finished reading Fahrenheit 451 and, of course, it’s brilliant and wonderful and will eternally be spookily relevant. However, whenever ‘The Hound’ came up and they mentioned the needle in its mouth, I could not stop imagining Gnipper from Beano with his one front fang. Five stars.
A photo of a copy of the book ‘Fahrenheit 452’ by Ray Bradbury. The book cover is black with big red, yellow and orange flames. I’ve plopped a little picture of Gnipper from Beano next to the book. Gnipper is a small cartoon dog with black shaggy fur and a singular sharp fang in the middle of their mouth.

Twisting my moustache, giggling my way across the platform as 🎶 Moon Beam Ice Cream 🎶 scuttles across my brain again
A cartoon fox sneakily walking. A smile plastered across their face. In their hands some swag/ treasure (well, a box and a luggage bag but you can tell by the cheeky glint in his eye that he’s got that treasure). Across his eyes he wears a zorro-esque mask. All very sneaky!
