I'm just absolutely gutted about today's show being flooded out at the Edinburgh Fringe. We were about fifteen minutes in to a very cosy show and then had to evacuate due to the venue flooding... I'm so sorry to the audience who came, I feel awful letting you down.

I have a little gag in my new show about the Battle of Towton and there's been a persistent voice in my head saying "cut this joke, no one gets it, it's stubbornly niche and stupid to keep in" but I've left it and left it and left it and then yesterday it got a round of applause I WIN

We just had to call the fire service because someone has deliberately started a fire in the woods opposite our house. I could cry. I can’t fathom how our species feels so insulated from responsibility in the micro and macro

At this point I don’t understand how we’re not banning bonfires. I love backing on to the South Downs and my neighbour is literally blazing up a storm right now. It feels like madness

My 4yo just asked me what “at” means and I went to explain it and then pulled up realising I have absolutely no idea how to describe it. My mouth opened and the concrete answer was gone. Like when you try to explain a dream and forget it in the instant of looking at it

I decided to watch Sleeping With The Enemy tonight. Never seen it before. Theres fifteen minutes to go and I think I might turn it off here so it’s a lovely story about a woman getting her life back instead of the tense woman alone in a house ending I think is coming

I saw To Kill A Mockingbird at the theatre tonight. Cultured and stuff I am. Aaron Sorkin adaptation and a really good watch but… I have thoughts about it. Anyone else seen it and had thoughts?

I finally had “That Work in Progress Show” tonight where you get really excited and it all flows in the right direction. Some clunks and some misfires but the tone and the overall shape was exactly what I pictured tonight… I’m starting to get so excited about September

Right. I've had a week off on proper holiday and i go back to work tomorrow so this evening I've cleared my inbox. I now have NO REASON whatsoever not to write all day tomorrow in prep for the next preview in the evening... right? RIGHT?!

Here’s my dog she’s cute isn’t she? If you want her to continue having a shiny coat and healthy insides please buy tickets to one of the following: - Komedia Brighton, tomorrow night a WIP - my Edinburgh run, 17-27 August, a WIP - my tour, 4 Sept to 26 Nov, called Yo Yo

Yuzu is a honey/terracotta JRT cross poodle but you really can’t see the JRT in her particularly. She’s fluffy with brown eyes and gangly legs

Justin Bieber singing “it’s my World Cup hallelujah” was the moment I turned inside out from embarrassment at being this species just in case anyone needs this information for a medical text book on why my butt hole is an outie
