My trigonometry book Love Triangle is now out in paperback in the USA!.
What if we told you that triangles are what make our lives possible? In his #1 International Bestseller, LOVE TRIANGLE, @standupmaths says we should show a little more appreciation for this 3-cornered, 3-sided polygon 🥰📐. LOVE TRIANGLE is now in paperback. Start reading today!

Sadly, my show at the #EdFringe has been can cancelled tonight because the wind is consistently above the safety rating of the venue awnings. Which leaves a mere 21 shows left to go.

Nothing focuses the mind to finish writing a show like already being a “pick of best stand up”. Minimal pressure then.

The Moon Pi kickstarter ends in about 24 hours. But don't worry, we are fully funded. So I guess, there's 24 hours to give me more money I don't need. That said, teachers can still sign up for free here:

Promo time! I'll be at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe #EdFringe from 30 July to 25 August. Please come along. It's 6:30pm in the Pleasance Courtyard, which means I'm up against the best of the comedy best. But I did call my show "Getting Triggy With It".
