Lovely review of the new tour in The British Comedy Guide this week. It mentions that the previous tour is a good companion piece; if you want to see that show here’s the link to the special we did of it… https://t.co/mt6EQnElHD UK/Ireland tour dates on https://t.co/YHRHNzVlRS

A brief tiny memory about Manchán Magan, who passed away yesterday. I guested on a series he did 20 years ago, and he noted that I had dropped the “fada” (the accent/diacritic) over the O in my name, which I had replaced with a capital O, just for ease of understanding in the

@daraobriain, genuinely one of the funniest standup gigs I've been to tonight in Swansea. My sides hurt from laughing. Hope the effects of the mid-to-severe blood loss aren't too long lasting.

Very sad today to hear of the untimely death of writer and film-maker Manchán Magan. His work with the Irish language was both inspirational and normalising, and he can claim a great amount of credit for the resurgence in the everyday, normal use of the language. He managed to

Language learners! Currently combining Duolingo, Ella Verbs and Language Transfer to learn some Spanish. What might you recommend for spoken/writing practice? Good sources for teachers, whether zoom or IRL? And/or an app to will suggest topics and correct efforts?

I wish more of my shows, like Stoke last night, had a cartoonist in the audience illustrating the audience bits. THIS is the way to do the old #youhadtobethere

I would hate people not to see when I click my ruby slippers together and say “There’s no place like home”.

So, the plan for @EPfestival then; get a lovely, relaxed mid-afternoon slot, and sure, you won’t be up against anything too high-profile, or noisy, or energetic, that the entire world, including you, is dying to see. The reality:

Hounslow council have banned Lime bikes, and licensed Forest and Voi; neighbouring Richmond has licensed Lime and banned the others. So every bridge is Checkpoint Charlie, with loads of Lime bikes parked on one side and loads of Forest and Voi on the other. Top work everyone!
