I know someone who claims to have never worked with anyone they'd consider problematic. But they're a fellow comic, pro wrestling fan and Red Dwarf fan like me... So fair play, that's a great bit of denial or some superb trolling.

Whenever I gigged in Rhyl (at the theatre across from where John Prescott punched that man), I always made sure to pick up a copy of their local paper, The Rhyl Journal, for every edition was guaranteed to feature a story that was absolutely WILD!

Here are three fine examples.

FYI: The dog was ok.

Suzi Quatro might be a filthy Tory, but if I'd been a young lad in the 70's I'd have been absolutely in love with everything about her. She was pretty cool #totp

Nothing to see here...

Just DS Ted Roach from The Bill being the hard-drinking, 'don't play by the rules, but I get the damn results, guv' maverick of Sun Hill to the strains of Judas Priest.

Enjoy your day!

You know what we don't talk enough about?

The Hoff on German TV (obvs) singing the delightfully schlock 'Everybody Sunshine' with, let me check...

An abundance of kids, a big blue cat, a haunting bear-like creature on a swing, a bagpiper and a backing singer putting in WAY too much effort.

80's homoerotic pro wrestling vignettes.

Designed to introduce new 'heartthrob' wrestlers to an area, and especially to appeal to female fans to attend the live shows, promoters would make these vignettes to sell them and well... Judge for yourself.

I want a Bond film where he is timeline age appropriate retired 007, but the plot is a courtroom drama where he's brought up on multiple decades of unpaid child support.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Because I'm in France, I'm sadly missing out on the annual "WHERE'S YOU FOOKIN' POPPY" watch.

So, in remembrance, here's the time The Cookie Monster appeared on The One Show... wearing a poppy.

I have so many questions about this (see below)

Here's a picture of a pub ashtray I've had in my phone for about a decade because the standing cig butts reminded me of Anthony Gormley's Another Place sculptures.

Have a great day 💛

As an OG Top Gear fan, it's a real shame to read that Quentin Wilson passed away, aged only 68. He was great, a really amusing droll sarcasm in his verbal delivery.

A physically fascinating man to observe. Somehow looking like both a young Mr. Burns and an adult Stewie Griffin at the same time.

OTD 4 years ago, I was gigging in Darlington with the mighty @robbotron.bsky.social and Paul Pirie.

It produced a favourite photo of mine where we look a bit like an alternate universe version of Spinal Tap... No, none of us got lost trying to find the stage.

Bon week-end 💛

Today I was informed that I've been saying the name Chappell Roan incorrectly.

It turns out it's pronounced like CHAPEL, like a wedding chapel.

I've been saying it as SHAPPELLE. With the pronunciation like how you'd say the surname of Dave Chappelle.

I love being young, cool and with it!

Here's a very silly joke I used to tell on stage about dating a religious Christian fundamentalist.

Enjoy 🧡

It's saturday night and this sexy beast is using his time watching a 20 part YouTube series on the history of ITV regional franchises of yore. Good grief, I am irresistible!

🎃Halloween story👻

2018, not in costume, a drunk fella was like 'OMG, YOU LOOK SOOO LIKE THAT BLOKE!'

Went through a rolodex of my doppelgangers like George Harrison, Josh Groban etc, asked to be more specific.

'HE BEAT ALL THOSE BIRDS WITH A HAMMER'

He meant Peter Sutcliffe.

2018 me below 👇
