Headline in today's Broadcast "Gary Barlow takes Jason Manford to New Zealand for ITV Travelogue" feels like the last straw.

Stop telling us there's no money to make TV when you're sending dull millionaires on free holidays. FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

Who is watching this shit?

Topical comedy in the turdiest of times. A blatant stance on the merits of satire.

If you didn’t already know, I write quite a lot of topical comedy. Here’s me writing about writing it:

Some players love #riddles. A challenge faced with brains, not a character sheet.

Some go "My Wizard has an 18 Intelligence, I'm rolling to solve it".

Louie is the 3rd option- "Fuck you, fuck your riddles, let me kill something."

OUT NOW: Episode 4- Kill the Crow

Guest starring @beakachu.bsky.social as the mysterious Riddle Crow.

“Wales has been mapped more extensively by tea towel than by Ordnance Survey!” Gareth Gwynn is bringing a low-fi vibe packed with nostalgia and gags to his WIP that recreates how his great-grandfather would have performed his own poems.

Absolute pleasure talking to @garethgwynn.bsky.social about his upcoming Glasgow show!

The only thing I love more than the sights of spring are the sounds of spring… particularly the batshit noises foxes make when they’re fucking.

Another wonderful year at the Edinburgh International Improv Festival! Jokes, new friends, old friends, drinking, Scottish country dancing, and yes-anding.

And it was an absolute privilege to perform as part of the ensemble team!

But now back to normal- Ep 3 is out Thursday!
