Yep, 🤞🏻

Not quite privately but don’t worry. Weird that the Mail ‘newspaper’ choose to put ‘abuse’ in quotation marks.

Living with my father, his manic depression and alcoholism In Helen Longstreth’s poignant memoir, Things in Every Room, she vividly evokes the extreme emotional instability of her childhood

Highly recommend Helen Longstreth’s memoir Things In Every Room.

I did a big London show last November. Nothing planned at the moment.

Alan Davies: Think Ahead - Glasgow International Comedy Festival Alan is delighted to announce his return to Scotland for the Glasgow International Comedy Festival with his brand new show.

First time in my stand up career that a festival has added a warning that my show contains ‘swearing.’
Glasgow audiences must be more sensitive than they used to be. We’ll find out on March 29…

I’m on the One Show on BBC1 at 7 with the Pussycat Dolls. Not sure how to prepare. Perhaps I’ll do the calming exercise Michael Palin’s character used in GBH to help him get over bridges

Thank you, what a nice message to receive on my birthday. And, for the avoidance of doubt, I can confirm no money changed hands in the creation of Verity’s post.

😂

Dear Mr Alan Davies,

Your application for a 60+ London Oyster photocard has been processed and will be delivered within 5 days.
🕺🥳

Had to search that up, made me smile

Obvs…

Same show

I am now 60 as of 5 minutes ago.
So many old people’s forms to fill in so I can get my discounts. I’ll be up all night.

Recording QI all day and last night. Many klaxons, massively in negative points deficit. Only an idiot would not have lowered self esteem at this moment. And yes, I am that idiot.

Alan Davies: Think Ahead - Glasgow International Comedy Festival Alan is delighted to announce his return to Scotland for the Glasgow International Comedy Festival with his brand new show.

Glasgow, my first show of 2026 is at your comedy festival on March 29. Hoping for a couple of laps of the clockwork orange while I’m there.

Wherever you can get BBC Sounds, by whatever means necessary…

I loved being on this show and feel lucky to have joined in on a few episodes. I’m v sad about @robinince.bsky.social leaving.

Ha! No shit, Sherlock

This has been so much fun to record, all the guests excellent and somehow edited down to 15 mins. Imagine that, a podcast with no waffling…it’s a first for me, certainly.

Did you make it…?

Happy times with @stephenfry.bsky.social guessing Blue Whale. I had no idea it happened so often…

Erm, absolutely never had a drink before any QI recording in 23 years so not sure what you mean. Probably wanted one…

This is true. The dole was £26 a week and the EAS was £40 a week, and you were allowed to earn. You had to have a grand to sign up. I borrowed it from my father and gave it back the next day.

I’m sorry to hear about Robin. It’s absolutely true that he understudied me in Auntie and Me (with the late great Margaret Tyzack) and I asked him to go on when Arsenal were playing Man Utd. I was grateful! At least he got to do the show once. It was a 90 min monologue he’d spent weeks learning. RIP
