Poem by Andrea Cohen.

This lady scared this shit out me when I was four years old. Morgrim was also terrifying.

The look they were going for in this new Smithsonian portrait:

Angry old man using a zimmer frame.

If this doesn't get Trump the Nobel Peace Prize then nothing will.

If you're wondering what Captain Tom's daughter is up to these days, she's joined Kasabian.

Dutch late night TV has its take

Turns out AI really stands for Annoying Interference.

Stop putting it everywhere. Every day use cases are largely irritating and pointless.

it's real support from actual racists

If Kneecap are ever forced to change their name, they should be called Néecap.

Take That's profile pic on Spotify is hilarious. Gary has indigestion after a pub lunch half-way on a country walk. He doesn't know if he can continue.

Gary: I knew that Ploughman's was a mistake.
Mark: Take your time.
Howard: Looks like it's going to rain, anyway. We can do the rest another day.

That's it. Edinburgh Fringe is over for 2025. To commemorate this, I recreated the ending of Breaking Bad. You can watch it on my Instagram account here:

Today, I had more Edinburgh Fringe punters in via @mrjamesob.bsky.social. They helpfully identified themselves with their quiz team name 'The James O'Brien Appreciation Society'.

I also had a five-star review published today:

21 shows now done, three to go.

If you take one thing home today...

... you may be a shoplifter.

UK police have now started seizing Palpatine action figures.

They come with a walking stick too.

I had my first confirmed Fringe punter today who came from my appearance on Mystery Hour via @mrjamesob.bsky.social. Although he failed to correctly answer who invented darts. Which is, of course, the Earl of Dartmouth.

How To Win A Pub Quiz runs until 25 Aug.

Living on the edge there.

I bet you'd still get the squid question wrong.

Thanks for coming. Your loyalty points kept you in it. Fourth time lucky?

@alexdlove.bsky.social great craic at How To Win a Pub Quiz at Stand 1 this morning. Our 3rd attempt and we came a close second! And I got the Colossal Squid question wrong…AGAIN!!😫

Ridley Scott's career really went downhill with the original Hovis advert.

He chooses to focus on crisps.

What is the meaning of this? Tempting Tattie in Edinburgh has had a makeover and removed The Richard Herring from its menu. Massively disrespectful to man who has dedicated so much time to eating baked potatoes there @herring1967.bsky.social

Basically, if you give your right foot a thorough massage, your right arm will then appear about two or three inches longer than your left arm when you compare them. Then if you massage your left foot and compare arms afterwards, they'll look the same length again.

I think I'll have to find a way to mention them now.

It is I, Alex of the strange foot question fame. I'm taking a trivia-based show to Edinburgh Fringe next month called How To Win A Pub Quiz. It's part stand-up, part actual pub quiz. I think Mystery Hour fans will like it

Nice try, Jumanji. But I know your game.

(Getting trapped inside for decades.)

Keir Starmer is the political equivalent of a bed sheet that absorbs the smells of whatever it comes into contact with.

From Reform, it's stale ale and cheap cigarettes. From the Labour right, it's various types of mouldy excrement from 2010.

You can buy tickets for my #EdFringe show with no dynamic pricing here: www.thestand.co.uk/fringe/2427/...

I queued for hours for an Oasis ticket for Edinburgh, but didn't succeed. It cost some people thousands.

I'm not missing out. I may also lose thousands from the Oasis gig due to the extreme accommodation costs stopping people from going to the Fringe and seeing my show.

I really need to get around to ordering my Irish passport...
