Comedy types - I’ve seen this several times recently. I have thoughts, but why is Tuesday the funniest day of the week?

If you haven’t had the joy of hearing Patchwuff, go and listen now. It’s not long, and it will make your face wet in the loveliest way.

I AM MRS PEOPLE KNICKERS

Women of Radar

For #InternationalWomensDay the last episode of Series 1 of Echoes of Bawdsey The Story of Radar - Women of Radar. The story of how women played a pivotal role in the history of radar & the Second World War is rarely told. I hope this #podcast puts that right.

Look, I’d be the first to say my nascent comics knowledge means my eye may not be very well trained, but even I can see this is bloody amazing work

Crowdfund starts Monday. I am involved.

Don’t try and understand or rationalise it. Just enjoy the silly.

Need to add Bernard Cribbins’ Right Said Fred in the background.

Nothing says a podcast festival is over like John Lewis coming to collect their sofa.

Great to meet @bobfischer.bsky.social in person post his Broken Veil chat with @gralefrit.bsky.social and @willmac23.bsky.social

AAAAARGH! Hit record but didn't arm the track. 30 mins of no narration later, cue meltdown.

How long have I been doing this for a living?!

I was the same with Seurat’s La Grande Jatte, but I knew it was huge because of Ferris Bueller. (I have a photo of me standing in front of it Ferris-Style!)

Delighted to add to my hauntology credentials by lending my voice to the prosecution. Way too much fun.

Series 3 starts today! More weird comedy podcast sketch strangeness is available NOW. Yes, that is Richard Stilgoe, for no particular reason.

I’d been struggling with how I’d word a description of how I see Stephen - this is exactly it!

BBC Radio 4 - Drama on 4, The Goblin King and Me A story about a real-life encounter with David Bowie, marking ten years since his passing.

Listened to this over the weekend. Clearly by a writer (@paulmagrs.bsky.social) with a real passion for Bowie and his work. Loved Sophie Cotton's music too, though I do have a small bias there as she's been creating the music for our dementia drama "Harry's Home"!

BBC Radio 4 - Drama on 4, The Truth about Phyllis Twigg A light-hearted Christmas drama about giving credit where credit’s due.

Available now - the story of Phyllis Twigg the first radio dramatist. A light comedy drama about giving credit where it’s due: even if it takes 100 years.

Drama on 4 - The Truth about Phyllis Twigg - BBC Sounds A light-hearted Christmas drama about giving credit where credit’s due.

We're very proud of Aja Dodd, who has gone straight from Mulgrave Audio to BBC Radio 4! Kudos to director @soundliness.com, who heard Aja in our play 'Fellfoul' and cast her in 'The Truth About Phyllis Twigg', a charming and illuminating new play about the birth of radio drama. It's here...

I love the joy in watching improv. Maybe I should get my arse in gear and find a class!

Back at the Comedy Store last night for the first time in ages seeing off @neilmullarkey.com for his last show with the Comedy Store Players. Fun (of course), a great atmosphere in the room and it brought back lots of memories!
