Embrace The Age Of Chaos By Learning To Improvise In both improv comedy and business, the key to greatness is throwing out the script and learning to embrace the unpredictable.

If you have to speak publicly, even if it's just a brief toast at dinner, do NOT follow the stupid advice telling you to just wing it and "speak from the heart." That's a sure way to stumble or say something you'll regret. Always prepare your remarks and practice them.

Joshua can't half sing so when he and Ruth get going on an improv song, with Yshani on the old joanna, it'll blow your socks off.

Back from a lovely evening seeing @marcusbrig.bsky.social perform at The Stand. An influence and a very funny man - and Museum of Everything remains one of my favourite radio comedies of all time.

Enough crawling, time for bed!

Had the pleasure of seeing @marcusbrig.bsky.social last night at the Stand in Newcastle and what an excellent show it was. Highly recommend catching Vitruvian Mango if you can.
