Once again, this tiny rat is making me late for work, this time by having the audacity to crawl into the crook of my arm and fall asleep like a tiny fucken baby
Tilly, a small rat terrier/Jack Russell, gently snoozing in the crook of my arm. You can see a couple of her lil teeth and everything. Another angle of the tiny rat bastard falling asleep in my goddamn arms

We put lots of art facts in it, so it’s also an educational experience
Comedian Ella Lawry puts on a poncho on the set of ‘Make It ‘Til You Make It’. A graphic is on the lower bottom left of the screen that says “Art Fact! Sometimes when I go to Spotlight I need to have a lie down”.

Thank you, me from November last year, for reminding myself that I wanted to do Gandalf Big Naturals for Halloween this year.
An Apple Watch on my wrist, displaying the reminder “Gandalf big naturals Hallow…”

Notice how no-one, not a single soul, has ever complained about the female gaze in entertainment

Sorry I’m late for work - my dog fell asleep on my arm again
Elyce, lying in bed, stares directly into the camera as Tilly, a small Jack Russell, is conked out asleep on her arm, emotionally trapping her

Definitely go watch this week’s #HardQuiz - partly ‘cause I’m very proud of my coral and beef questions, but also, because we had to teach Tom how to pronounce “UNHhhh”

#MICF officially kicks off today, so for the eighth year running, I’m bringing back my MICF bingo. First person to get a row gets a 7-Eleven treat of their choice, first person to fill the grid gets TWO 7-Eleven treats of their choice.
A bingo card titled “the 8th annual unofficial but very legit MICF bingo”. It has a hot pink background and a pale green square in the middle. The text is handwritten in black and there’s a grid with 25 squares. Written in the squares, from top to bottom, left to right: - see a solo debut - hear a venue horror story - big tired cry - undignified “shower” in the toilets between shows - is this a character or just a wig? - tech whoopsie - today’s meals presented by 7-Eleven - go to a venue more than 10 min from town hall - see a clown show where no-one takes any clothes off - feeld joke - “so, I’m single…” - TikTok comedian tries to do crowdwork - see a new act - witness niche MICF beef - audience member forgets they’re not at home - AI joke - chat at artist bar WITHOUT spiralling after - CREPE! - is this satire or are they a cooker? - see three shows in one night - FULL. CHOREO. - see some sketch - thinly-veiled request for ket - big mess - fucken hell, ANOTHER crush on some clown?

An artist mate tried using the “suggest some up-and-coming acts” prompt and got this:
MICF’s AI concierge responding to a prompt asking to suggest sone exciting up-and-coming acts by saying “I wasn’t able to find any specific up-and-coming acts for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival during the opening week (26th March - 1st April 2025). However, new shows are being added regularly, so I recommend checking the Melbourne Comedy Festival website for the latest updates and exciting new talent!”

He’s so angry
A forearm with a tattoo of David Lynch’s Angriest Dog in the World. It’s a very pointy, black, tadpole-looking dog, straining against its leash, baring lots of tiny teeth and saying “Grrrrrrrrr”

Gonna need someone at the aquarium to explain to me what is going on with this seahorse. Someone needs to answer for this.
A cartoon seahorse on signage at Melbourne Aquarium. It’s an orange seahorse, side on to the viewer, looking over its shoulder at you. It has long lashes and black eyeliner for some reason, and has a slightly raised eyebrow and a small, restrained smile. It’s wearing a flowing blue scarf. It honestly looks like this seahorse is saying goodbye to you at the airport after you’ve had a fleeting, yet torrid affair. A cartoon seahorse on signage at Melbourne Aquarium. It’s an orange seahorse, side on to the viewer, looking over its shoulder at you. It has long lashes and black eyeliner for some reason and is wearing a blue flowing scarf. On this sign, there’s a heading that says “help us”, and below that, text that says “100 million seahorses are killed for use in traditional medicines every year!” The seahorse has raised eyebrows again, but this time, it is pouting. Close-up of the pouting seahorse.

Me: Man, I downloaded this app weeks ago and I haven’t gone on any dates yet, what gives??

Also me:
Screenshot of the chat screen in the Feeld dating app. Up the top it says “today” “you and D connected” and then a message bubble that I have sent as the first message in the interaction that says “Fuck/marry/kill: strawberry, raspberry, blueberry”. It is 10:54am.

The extremely low-stakes, uncool, new material only comedy night I run returns for 2025 TONIGHT!

www.improvconspiracy.com
A square poster for a comedy night called “Script Jam”. The text on it reads “Sunday February 16th, 7:15, The Improv Conspiracy. Brand new material from Han Arbuthnott, Rudy Jean Rigg, Freddie Arthur, Jacob Henegan, Donna Collins, Lukas Meintjes”. It’s on a black background and in the bottom right corner, there’s a cartoon of a yellow animal on a blue wig, ready to perform.
