Leedipus - Twitch APRIL FOOL - DKC ON THE BONGOS!?

Hi friends, my pal @leedipus.bsky.social is currently playing Donkey Kong on the bongos? It's glorious. It's chaotic. Come hang out! www.twitch.tv/leedipus

I am not an April fools person, not at all, but The Phoenix is the one exception. Every year they prank kids with a different ‘wrong’ magazine, and every year the dedication to the bit is outSTANDING 🫡

Henry (a 3-year-old boy) hides behind a curtain with his head and feet sticking out. He is shouting: MUMMY! I AM HIDING FROM YOU!
