There's a top-class trolling opportunity here: "In the absence of people driving over Hammersmith Bridge it's not clear there's any demand for a car route"

What Chris Bowen and the Australian government have done is genuinely game changing. It will permanently change and massively improve the energy system in Australia and we can only hope this incredible example will be replicated by other nations.

Did you know I made a game? About strangling a horse? Of COURSE you did! I never shut up about it!

But that's because it is GREAT and you will die a LOT! For my first ever game I'm very proud of it. God dammit it is FUNNY!

AND it's free to play! Cor blimey!

Incredible updated tour artwork by the amazing Will Andrews.

All dates and tickets here - give it a share if you enjoyed the show, I'm managing this tour myself and it turns out that's a lot of work! All shares hugely appreciated.
