Looking at doing your first Edinburgh Fringe show next year?

I'm doing a series of Zoom workshops about writing a stand up show every Tuesday evening in September.

Comment below if you're interested and I'll be in touch next week with details and references.

The idea that education is the same thing as job-training and no more than that is so disheartening.

Getting a job isn’t the goal. Human flourishing is the goal. Getting a job might be a step to flourishing, (or not) but to think “job” is the top of the mountain rather than base camp is so sad.

I think about BoJack Horseman a lot.

My stand up tour Bottle It starts in Sunderland in a week!

Over the last few years, I've been putting messages in bottles in seas and rivers. But where? Have a look at this video to see where in the world they are then come and see me tell you all about it.

Just want to nudge you towards something I'm doing later this year at The Stand Comedy Club, Newcastle that I'm incredibly excited for.

It's a show called New Directions where I'm directing debut solo shows from some really promising North East comedians.

Over the last three years I've been throwing messages in bottles into seas and rivers!

Come see me on tour from next month where I'll tell you all about it, culminating in what will be my last solo show for quite some time at Tyne Theatre on 18th April!

Just finished my new ebook, it's available today for Felt Nowt members but will be out soon if you fancy picking it up!

I spent 2024 listening to a different album every day at random and have written 60,000 words about it.

The world has always been screwed around by abusers & criminals - emperors, dictators,& popes - just seems social media & borders drawn by investors leads to the next level of grotesque oppression (& to hell with every millionaire comic that’s played their rebel card while helping the obfuscation)

We are now in the Chinese Year of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em.

People born in this year are inexplicably good at job interviews and do their own stunts.

I’ve done it! I’ve finished!

I’ve listened to an album at random (By clicking random page on Wikipedia til an album appears) every day this year.

Here are the ones I gave a 10 to. All obviously worth a listen.

Off to see Paul McCartney on Wednesday in stupid London. He does three hours. Too long innit?

Like, Paul, mate, you’ve got a decent back catalogue there but nobody needs Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.

Saw Jason Donovan this summer, he got it done in 40 minutes. You’re either a professional or you’re not.

Jo is a great comedian. As you probably already know admittedly.
My brand new comedy special “Here Comes Trouble” is being released exclusively on @nextupcomedy.com on Thursday 19th December - Yes, I know I’ve already told you but I’m going to nag you every day until you watch it. ✌️

A few people asked if I’m doing a panto at the Stand this year and the answer is “No, but I’m doing this if you want to bring your kids.”

It’s me along with Kelly Rickard, Hannah Walker and Elaine Robertson, or, using our new group title ‘Lee and Something For The Dads.’

Did 1 gig last night and 2 gigs tonight.

If this trend continues I’ll be doing 256 gigs next Saturday and I’m a bit stressed about it.

I’m 45 years old and I still don’t really know how many days months hath.

Oh Lee, I have at some point enjoyed your work and understand that you are doing this without an agent or PR team so it would be remiss of me not to tell people I know who might like your comedy about it.

Thanks mate.

You know that song? That Hot To Go?

Anyway, it's in my head now but I keep going

"L-E-E-K-Y-L-E
Half man half K-Y-Jelly"

And it is honestly a fairly poor use of my time.

I'd just told a story about doing a workshop where a girl with selective mutism talked for the first time in school.. then I kept talking about a beloved kids author.

This is from my new special 'England's Best Comedian' which is free to watch now on a beloved and popular video sharing website.

Hi everyone, I've noticed that a lot of people say that we aren't talking about men's mental health enough so maybe we are.

That's all for now, I'll let you know if I notice anything else.

Hi everyone, I've noticed that a lot of comedians say medical professional instead of doctor in their little skits.

Anyway, have a nice evening, I'll let you know if I notice anything else.
