Still an epsilon number of seats left for tomorrow night's Big London Show which don't have the view blocked by a safety rail. That said: I promise to move around the stage so much that no one rail can block me for long. https://t.co/g0KQKCMadN

If you’re watching the Women’s Rugby World Cup quarterfinals on the BBC: yes, that was me crunching some numbers! (Just after 112:30.)

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!

I had to print 8,000 flyers. I know how generate print files using python. This felt unavoidable.

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.

Tour sales are going well! Shows are not until October but 24% of all tickets are gone. Watch out if you're in Swindon: that show is over half sold; Leeds and North Finchley both > ⅓ gone.

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. https://t.co/dfhGoFauQ0 That said, teachers can still sign up for free here:

We thought we’d sold out but the fine people at The Capitol, Melbourne managed to find 60 extra chairs somewhere. Now on sale. So if you want to see the show tomorrow: you’re in luck!

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".
