Stand up, podcast, host, consumer champion & hype merchant, writer, columnist. Strong views, diluted by vino. Fueled by petty.
If you’re heading to Edinburgh Fringe & planning to see my show, might I suggest this Sunday when Chortle are in reviewing. Would be very keen to have it not just be the two of us. Chief Petty Officer, all about identifying the moment you have taken something too far. Could be a bit on the nose.
Look out for these around Edinburgh - limited edition beer mats advertising my Fringe show. You can put your pint on me!
In honour of Chief Petty Officer opening at Edinburgh Fringe this week, here are the top 10 petty pop culture moments as voted for by the UK. I used a proper research agency and everything. Binface came in at 13 when I did this, but I suspect he might topple #1 if we did it again. Do you agree?
I’ve finished writing my show! Now I just have to get it all learned before I leave tomorrow. Easy.
@octopody.bsky.social I have not forgotten you. Thought it might be fun to post your bag from Edinburgh x
I am at the emergency dentist and I was simply unprepared teeth could hurt so much. Been waiting 42 minutes for my 3.30pm appointment so far. If I faint, will they just get it done and wake me up when it is over?

Chapter 1 – A Metric Fuck Tonne of Cake
It’s a Superpower?? is an immersive audio experience and is best enjoyed with headphones. Five autistics walk into a support group, which starts off about as well as you’d expect. At least there’s not...

15 WIPs. 400+ people. 11 cities. A chaotic online version. For an indie show driven by hustle, that feels huge. Thanks to everyone who created Chief Petty Officer. It’s more curation than creation at this point. Whatever happens, glad I went back on ‘never again’ Fringe in 11 days, here we go.
Thank you so much to everyone who has bought one. You are all getting one of these postcards I had designed for my first ever live Comedy Arcade with @watsoncomedian.bsky.social @turlygod.bsky.social @esylltsears.bsky.social and Sikisa, designed by lovely Izzy of Comedy Marathon fame ❤️
Vix Leyton@vixleyton.bsky.social · 2w agoIf you would like to be the proud owner of a limited edition Ea Nasir bag, I am offering them for £10 (including UK postage) to raise money for flyerers at Edinburgh Fringe! They are well travelled as I keep taking them to WIPs and forgetting to sell them at the end..
@samwhyte.bsky.social you bought tickets for my show but didn’t get to see it - I owe you one show. You have a choice of recorded ones - a live audience version or a chaotic online version I did in my house like a mad scientist to the best people

If you missed it last night, you can still see Vix at Edinburgh Fringe. Huge recommend from me. Some incredible petty stories in here I've never heard before and an excellently nerdy presentation. Support Vix, she needs some better velcro!

Vix Leyton@vixleyton.bsky.social · 3w agoVery excited to be doing my last preview of Chief Petty Officer at Phoenix Arts, London next week. A comedic lecture on history & cultural significance of pettiness and how to commit the perfect petty act. Perfect for anyone who loves pub quiz trivia, Radio 4 curiosities & grudges. #britcom #comedy
One last time in London before Edinburgh Fringe. I aim to define the formula for the perfect petty act with case studies from Ea Nasir through to Binface. For anyone who loves Radio 4, pub trivia, pop culture and anything 50 cent has ever done. It’s not like other lectures, it’s a cool lecture.
🍓ONE WEEK🍓 This time next week for our special one off show with @vixleyton.bsky.social Get your tickets below 👇 #CoherentComedy
Got two tickets for #mychemicalromance tonight - general standing, happy to fire them over to someone if affording/getting them was a problem. Would love someone to have a lovely night. I can confirm I am a real person who isn’t a scammer - but then I suppose a scammer would say that 😂
Kicking off the season! ❤️
The Alternative Comedy Memorial Society (ACMS)@theacms.bsky.social · 4w agoIn Edinburgh this summer? US TOO, HI!

Home for a (quite big) gig and the route is through an area full of ghosts from my life - Big Tesco where we did the family big shop, my uni halls of residence, where my high school best friend lived, turning for my Nana’s house. Just felt full weight of 41 years. Did not care for it. Not one bit.
The narrative podcast which I made, with a cast full of brilliant talents and absolute nobodies, is over for series one. All 24 episodes are now bingeable if you're the sort of person who likes to wait and binge. I think it's one of the better things I've offered the public in my time.
Murder Of A Famous Bastard@murderbastard.bsky.social · 8mo agoHello, HERE ARE THE LINKS to get the actual podcast when it comes out on Sunday. For now, if you would like to 'follow' it at your chosen podcast emporium, that really helps. See you soon! podcasts.apple.com/podcast/murd... open.spotify.com/show/2di2tB8... feeds.acast.com/public/shows...
As is traditional, my last show before Fringe will be with the best audience in the world. Always a perfect end to the WIP season, would love you to join us, and could not ask for better support.
Coherent Comedy@coherentcomedy.com · last mo.🍓VIX LEYTON🍓 Absolutely delighted to announce an extra special show with @vixleyton.bsky.social on the 20th July with support from @zoethorne.bsky.social Tickets below 👇 #CoherentComedy
Cardiff! Excited to be doing this home town run out of my comedy lecture on the history and cultural significance of pettiness - complete with charts. Joined by @20thcenturymarc.marcburrows.co.uk sharing his 10 best songs of all time & the life he lived around them. Next Thursday! Porters!
Just like Nani, who complained in clay tablet about Ea Nasir’s copper but still had to return, I’m back in the hairdressers who did me so wrong I fed back I didn’t like it, to her face; and cringed through a correction . We get what we deserve - whether through inferior copper or harsh bleaching.
