If I get bored halfway through a big shop, I like to stop off by the gravy aisle and have an impromptu game of noughts and crosses with a complete stranger.

Don't know what's going on today but I've seen some horrendous injuries out and about. Blood, cuts, one person I could see all of their bones! Be careful out there.

For those who don't know this story, which I first shared six years ago today....

This one time I got my days wrong at work and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine.

Here's the full schedule: nextupcomedy.com/calendar/age...

Gather all your snacks and get comfy! 🔥
On a more cheerful note, if you're a comedy fan but can't make it to the Edinburgh Fringe, I really recommend @nextupcomedy.com who livestream loads of the shows - worth the membership on its own.

(I'm not being paid/encouraged to post this, I just genuinely think it's a great service)

Edinburgh! A Passion for Passion at Underbelly, Bristo Square!

It's a show about writing a book about romance. If you love romance novels or if you have no idea how anyone could, this is for you.

Hallo friends! If you’re seeing this please give it a bit of love for the algorithm.

Hey! I’m in London! I’ll be at Soho Theatre 6-9 August doing my very silly show A Passion For Passion and in Edinburgh after then.

They've just put a call out for a customer who's failed to board and is holding up the flight, and his name is MR SLOW. Nobody except me seemed to think it was funny.

If you haven't seen it, last week I wrote and performed five poems that were entirely unrelated to each other. One of the poems is a rap where I say the words "I'm a sexual confection with a flesh and blood erection" and that's not even the most unsettling bit of it.

I'm going on tour! I'm taking a two hour comedy show around the country - the first half a compilation of my favourite bits, and then It Is Better in full. I fell in love with It Is Better when I pulled it out of storage for my retrospective last year. Please come!

Last week, my son lost his first tooth. Unfortunately he also swallowed it, leaving me with one just option: to get to work forging some government documents.

Will the tooth fairy pay up if the tooth has been swallowed?
As a fan of money, my son has known of the Tooth Fairy for some time, and is now discussing her rates of business – and filling in the correct paperwork

Well. This is what I did on Monday. A series of poems unrelated to Shrek
5 of them in fact.

The gingerbread man one is...somewhat spicy

(Filmed at and by the lovely @theacms.bsky.social. Book tickets for their shows!!)
