I'm in Edinburgh from <checks watch, panics> tomorrow and, as per previous years, am intending to do my (probably too) honest video diaries so why give my YouTube channel a little subscribe and watch a man physically deteriorate in real time over a month? www.youtube.com/@thatbaldyfe...

Nick says funny things with his mouth in order to provoke laugh sounds from the mouths of others. Seems fair. (Oh, and he used to make films with his mate Rich - they're here too)

Raiders of the Lost Ark came out in 1981, but was set in 1936 - a difference of 45 years. If they made the film today, the same time difference would mean it would be set in 1981.

Went to the cinema yesterday, got a badge and some socks. More freebies at the flicks please
This is (somehow) one week away. It would be really lovely to sell some tickets for it, please and thank you. www.edfringe.com/tickets/what...
Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: No Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney or Ghibli. Even without the Stars (Wars & Trek), there's still too many to choose from. Let's go with my (unsurprising) default.

Jake L@jaykayell.bsky.social · last wk.Forever my problematic fave.
I'm so sorry, I haven't been posting enough cat pics on here. I shall remedy that forthwith Clem Fandango (ridiculously fluffy) & Dinky Frinkbuster (standardly furry)
Without saying your age, what's your favourite movie that came out when you were 18? About 5 I'd pick for that year (always struggle with "pick one") but, for making me want to be a filmmaker at that age, it's this one for the "DIY" feeling it inspired (along with Reservoir Dogs and El Mariachi)
Chrissy Derbyshire@chrissyd-comedy.bsky.social · 2w agoWithout saying your age, what's your favourite movie that came out when you were 18? I love this movie so much. Funny, brutal, brilliantly acted, constantly surprising, and full of classic Italian horror references.
I reckon more football fans should realise that they're just nerds. Know all the old cast members? Dress up in cosplay as your best characters? Sit around in the pub speculating with your mates about the next person in charge and how you'd do it better? Neeeerrrddssss! One of us, one of us...
Apparently this wasn’t a solo game after all (Just getting BlueSky cat levels restored now that man kicks football excitement is back to standard levels)
This is an incredible ethos to apply to being collaboratively part of someone's creative vision and definitely an aim to live by ("I served in it") RIP
huck mason@tylerhuckabee.bsky.social · 3w agoRIP
I own this and so should you - go off and get a copy, I’ll just wait here
Joel Morris@gralefrit.bsky.social · 3w agoBy the way, have got the last remaining Unbound stock of the Incomplete Framley Examiner collection, and it’s being distributed again - by Wilton Square. Buy a new copy of that book now, we WILL get the money. That’s the last time this book will exist, I reckon, sadly. But get it while you can.
An excellent summary of the current state of TV by someone who created a fave series of mine (The Middleman - if you're in any way nerdy, find it and watch it) and also wrote a couple of great candid books on TV too (Shoot That One & Shoot This One)
javier grillo-marxuach@okbjgm.bsky.social · 4w agoi believe that the the entire "binge watch" model of releasing television series is based on a faulty premise, and that faulty premise has significantly devaluated television as an art form. stick with me on this one...
Gonna be all over that there Edinburgh in August. If anything, it’s going to be tricky to avoid me so you might as well give in and just come see me www.edfringe.com/tickets/what...
Books Read 2026 Nos. 27-35 Seems fitting that around the Big Five Oh month that I covered off a few of the lifelong special interests (Henson, Pratchett, Who*) plus an alt history about queer cowboys herding hippos based on actual plan put forward by US Congress (sure, why not?) *weird law firm
I've brought you all here today to announce that I'm stopping performing as a character comedian... so that I can start performing as a character comedian. Please respect my privacy at this time and also pay attention to absolutely everything that I do.
What a pathetic little man. Sub-Alan Partridge self-pitying. "I've been sowing hate for 20 years, why won't anyone just love me? I'm going to America where everyone says I'm great"
Marrow Bishop Doctor Nemesis Omega Sentinel and, of course, Old Man Logan Yep, story checks out
Gail Simone@gailsimone.bsky.social · last mo.All the different X-Men names are nicknames for penis. Try it. Cyclops. Angel. Beast. It works 89 times out of 100.
Ah damn, I’ve been called up for PM duty. Now I’ve got to come up with three right wing policies to beat the right wingers to it by Wednesday…
MySpace. Customisable page (although some people's were unviewable), started blogging through it, made online friends who became IRL friends for the first time and even went on dates as a result of being on there. Felt genuinely social.
JD (by way of Blacksky)@jdot.blacksky.team · 2mo agoCan I ask y’all a genuine question? In all your life online, what’s the greatest social media you’ve ever used?
Trying to resist the urge as a long, long term Who fan to say, “It’s OK, just wait 16 years and it’ll be back…” (Might finally have time to complete that full rewatch from 1963 to date that I started about 5 years ago)
Come see this next Sunday. It’ll be fun and it’s currently your last chance before Edinburgh… queercomedyclub.co.uk/event/nick-k...
Terrible news. Heartwarming to learn through stories shared by friends that he was a kind and supportive person throughout his life
io9@io9.com · 2mo ago'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Star Anthony Stewart Head Has Passed Away
Come see me (and me and me and me and me) doing this for the last time pre-Edinburgh. Not going to Edinburgh? Better get to this then! You know it makes sense* queercomedyclub.co.uk/event/nick-k... *making sense not guaranteed
Just realised the Good Place very accurately depicted how AI actually works…
Depressing times as the solidifying of Petty Little Bigot Island continues Trans people are not the problem. Underfunded public services, climate change, the rise of fascism and war are things to worry about You shouldn’t give a shit about who’s having a shit
