Tom Stoppard wrote one of the speeches that got me into drama school, so it was partly his fault.

Woke up and read this article about the race to develop Artificial General Intelligence to feel my first taste of existential terror this week, before 10am.

I pray D:Ream’s New Labour anthem was right.

Last night's @mostlycomedy.bsky.social was ridiculous. Dan's & my longtime friend, Kelly Rickard, was ace, James Acaster worked his magic exactly 17 years to the day of his first Mostly visit, & one of my favourite comics, Marcus Brigstocke, made his Mostly debut, exceptionally closing the night.
Like the song says, 'Oh, What a Night'. Thanks to all who came to yesterday's cracking #Hitchin #MostlyComedy, with special mention to our stellar lineup: @marcusbrig.bsky.social, James Acaster, Kelly Rickard & @davidephgrave.bsky.social. See you in Dec for Arthur Smith & @iansmithcomedy.bsky.social

Woman, to her kids on the bus as we passed the six hills on Six Hills Way, Stevenage: “That’s where they filmed Teletubbies.”

Good, clean, local humour.
