It’s been a two screening day today - lovely to spend so much time in cinemas for once! Earlier on I saw @joebor.bsky.social’s very entertaining documentary about the original Tinky Winky (Dave Thompson) I also make a very brief appearance in that. Just call me Mr Bit Part!
Proud to announce my new feature documentary 'TINKY WINKY: MY STORY' will be premiering on Sunday 11th January at The Phoenix Cinema at midday.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the star.
Book now.

I’m doing this show in Tunbridge Wells next week with @joebor.bsky.social @rosieisaholt.bsky.social and @stuartlawscomedy.bsky.social. Tales from a life in showbiz (or at least on the fringes of it!) Should be a fun evening! trinitytheatre.net/events/stori...
Found my audience! Elderly Americans!
Really proud of this show, I think it’s the best show I’ve done and it’s free in Edinburgh!
Only taken me 20 years of stand up to feel like I’m actually good at it. Feeling myself on stage for the first time ever.
I’ve not got a comedy agent or PR, so would appreciate any help in sharing.

I’m doing a free show at the Edinburgh festival this year for 10 days.
With the massive fees of doing the festival, the free fringe allows performers a chance to do a show in a lovely venue without losing a massive amount of money!
Getting some lovely reviews for my children’s’ novel. I’m really very proud of it. I published it and am promoting it myself, so do spread the word amzn.eu/d/bwPQa8J
My illustrations are featured in this kids book, which is available to buy on Amazon. It's a heartwarming table about a boy who makes and unexpected friend in the kitchen. #kidsbook #childrensbook

I’m so proud of this book.
Been working on it for many years with different agents and publishers. Decided to just publish it.
So here it is, my first childrens novel: The Friend in The Fridge.
Also illustrated by my amazingly talented mate Alex Demetris.

Previously unpublished but just out, 'Changing Places', the autobiography of Walter Bor - a candid account of his work as a planner in London, Liverpool, Milton Keynes and elsewhere as well as his remarkable personal story:

Man Utd are so much in debt but they’re talking about a new £2 billion stadium. They’re like my broke friend I keep seeing on Instagram being on holiday.
My 9 year old boy after Arsenal drew with Man Utd said ‘I like it when we draw because everyone is happy’. This sort of reasonable and empathetic reaction is unacceptable.
If you're interested in comedy and comedy history, this is a really good documentary about Downstairs at the Kings Head in Crouch End - the oldest comedy club in Britain and still one of the best. Made by the prolific film maker @joebor.bsky.social. Enjoy!

The thing that worries me is that Martin Lewis (the money saving expert) used to be a comedian (and gave up to become a money saving expert).
You can now submit to our film festival! We have opened it up to all types of short films!

Lovely to see people turn out for the lovely Janey Godley today. I remember doing a show at The Edinburgh Festival about 10 years ago and the show next door always had a massive queue, I found out it was for her show and I realised how popular and loved she was. #RIPJaney
So over the top and I bloody loved it!
An epic movie in every way, much like the first one.
Big speeches and heavyweight performances.
Paul Mescal holds the screen, would not be surprised if him and Denzel Washington get Oscar nods too.

Very proud to announce that my book ‘Silly Poems From A Stand Up’ is now available to buy on Kindle and as a real life book!
I’ve been writing silly poems on and off for a few years, done a few on stage, got some laughs, so thought I’d put them out there.

Was an honour to host the Q&A of the amazing film ‘Reawakening’ with the brilliant director at the lovely Electric Cinema.
The film is an amazing achievement. A powerful story that constantly keeps you gripped and guessing and really stays with you. Congrats to all involved!
