Reading Stanley Tucci. Thus learned that London has wild rocket growing in nooks & crannies cos the Romans brought it over, centuries ago. ✨ And that his kids will put off bedtime with this kind of interrogation. "How much older are you than Mummy?" "Twenty-one years." "Then why is she taller?"

Ha, just remembered a workshopper today with a lolly in his mouth, announcing self as being in "a very cheap Dalek costume".

Asked the workshoppers for times they've taken something too literally. One kid told us about being on a farm residential, when they were all told to hit the hay. So he went and punched a bale! As instructed! 🏆✨

Parents: you've sat through some excruciating things in the name of entertaining your kids. This is a genuinely fun gig that you'll enjoy too.

I'm sorry but this *England's birthday" stuff is stupid, and this article by Tom Holland is disingenuous - it implies Aethelstan chased the Vikings out of England once and for all which totally ignores the Danish invasions (and Cnut's reign) in the 11th century www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The "additional training" had BETTER be a series of flashcards allowing drivers to better identify what a horse IS. apnews.com/video/city-o...

I’m so happy I made a meme to celebrate.

My kid has a close friend who’s nonbinary. Some jerky kid said “whatever, Rainbow” to them and my kid shot back with “whatever, Default Settings.” Name calling is wrong and I’m going to take her out for ice cream.

Watching Wildwood again, struck by how it shows the true horror of battle, and that taking a life is a huge thing, especially for a child. A real impactful lesson h- wait, as the credits roll, two small boys race down the front, to sword fight directly before the screen. Ah well, nevertheless.

This is an amazing tool, props to Tim

The Christmas period is a wild time to be offering comics gigs. Some can't do the show cos they're in panto (oh yes they are). Some are on holiday. And then there's the old "I'm playing Santa for a Garden Centre in Rickmansworth" excuse. Which, yes, we've just had.

Families! KIDS! Join us for smashing stand-up shows in #FinsburyPark @parktheatrelondon.bsky.social (this Sunday, with @joznorris.bsky.social & @howardread.bsky.social!), #Brighton (with Rachel from Shelf!), #Havant, #Bedford, #Twickenham and #Harlow! 🎟️ www.comedyclub4kids.co.uk/gigs/

Reading the first of the Wildwood series, pondering why more authors don't do as Colin Meloy has here and only quote as many copyrighted lyrics as a forgetful child can manage.

Heist movie where you find out in Act 3 that everyone was lying about their special skill and hoped no one would find out. Hacker frantically googling how to open a command line. Demo man asking a Home Depot employee where the blasting caps are. Face watching YouTube videos on how to talk to women

The workshoppers all contemplating the tradition that vampires have to pause & count anything you throw before them. One suggests dropping a grenade in with all the grains of rice. They lean down to count. You duck. 💥 Excellent Buffy level thinking, that.

@alexhorne.bsky.social Bet that sticker cost a lot of honk.
