Had a good day today. I feel like I’m starting to properly let myself feel happy for the first time since I lost James, my brother and best pal, 3 years ago. Thank you everyone who has stuck by me and believed in me over the years. Feel like I’m almost myself again. X

I really struggle with enforced grief. This idea of stopping all comedy and so on. When I lost my dad, brother, two best pals, humour was one of the things that helped the most. The worst people to be around were the ones who tell you how to experience your grief.

ON THIS DAY 🗓️:

It would win the prestigious Palme d'Or award at the Cannes Film Festival and go on to be nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
One of the greatest movies of all time.

Bit of a drunk train home tweet but want to mark today has been one of the best of my life. Auditioned for a part I’ve always wanted to play, saw the Elvis film and finally nailed my show. And got my ADHD diagnosis. Feel like a new chapter and after so much struggle some peace.

Amazing! Don’t mean to sound like a twat but Julia Davis came to see me tonight. One of my big inspirations. Human remains was what got me and Ferg into doing comedy probably more than anything. And she’s since never been less than incredible. Oh I could dance all night!

Goodness it’s 4 years since we lost my dear brother James. My humour is entirely inspired by him. In another universe he would have become a comedic legend but he spent his career helping others. My show is dedicated to him, which he’d hate. A dear old fellow indeed.
