This is a new venture, coming over here in despair at the collapse of Twitter. Stand up tours of the UK, Ireland and New Zealand in 2026, on stage much more my home than social media but I have a touch of FOMO
Thank you, what a nice message to receive on my birthday. And, for the avoidance of doubt, I can confirm no money changed hands in the creation of Verity’s post.
😂
Dear Mr Alan Davies,
Your application for a 60+ London Oyster photocard has been processed and will be delivered within 5 days.
🕺🥳
Had to search that up, made me smile
Obvs…
Same show
I am now 60 as of 5 minutes ago.
So many old people’s forms to fill in so I can get my discounts. I’ll be up all night.
Recording QI all day and last night. Many klaxons, massively in negative points deficit. Only an idiot would not have lowered self esteem at this moment. And yes, I am that idiot.
Delighted to be chatting rats on new @alandaviescomic.bsky.social Radio 4 series ‘A Life Without…’ listen here 👇https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002rf05 @chiffchat.bsky.social
Life Without is now on BBC Sounds. It’s a new podcast series I’m presenting for BBC Radio 4. Imagine the world without something we take for granted. V interesting guests and only 15 mins per episode. First show is the moon…

Glasgow, my first show of 2026 is at your comedy festival on March 29. Hoping for a couple of laps of the clockwork orange while I’m there.

Wherever you can get BBC Sounds, by whatever means necessary…
I loved being on this show and feel lucky to have joined in on a few episodes. I’m v sad about @robinince.bsky.social leaving.
Ha! No shit, Sherlock
This has been so much fun to record, all the guests excellent and somehow edited down to 15 mins. Imagine that, a podcast with no waffling…it’s a first for me, certainly.
Did you make it…?
Happy times with @stephenfry.bsky.social guessing Blue Whale. I had no idea it happened so often…
Erm, absolutely never had a drink before any QI recording in 23 years so not sure what you mean. Probably wanted one…
This is true. The dole was £26 a week and the EAS was £40 a week, and you were allowed to earn. You had to have a grand to sign up. I borrowed it from my father and gave it back the next day.
I’m sorry to hear about Robin. It’s absolutely true that he understudied me in Auntie and Me (with the late great Margaret Tyzack) and I asked him to go on when Arsenal were playing Man Utd. I was grateful! At least he got to do the show once. It was a 90 min monologue he’d spent weeks learning. RIP
Feel sick that Mandelson wanted to be US ambassador. What did he want from that job? Cannot understand how anyone associated in any way with Epstein could be considered. I’m reading an extraordinary book, The Lasting Harm by Lucia Osborne-Crowley. Maybe Keir Starmer should too, if he hasn’t done so.
This is what you get if you turn the football off. What the actual fuck is he talking about?
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.
I don’t know but in the circumstances I’d suggest you just go to the head of the queue
What’s worse? England’s catastrophic throwing away of wickets or the pisspoor coverage from the amateurs at TNT who commentate on a replay as if it’s live…?
It’s too cold to get out of bed. Dog will have to walk itself and ten year old make his own way to school.
