Good news! Our baby was born yesterday (Boxing Day). She’s doing well and so is her mum. We’re delighted and a bit exhausted. I expect there will be a pause in the podcast for a little while but LEP will be back soon. Happy New Year and cheers everyone!! 👶🍾🥂❤️

Podcast update: It's still a busy time! We're still working on the flat. My pod-room still doesn't have electricity or internet. My daughter was off school with covid so I couldn't work (she's fine) then I was ill and couldn't work (I'm fine)! But LEP will be back in 1-2 weeks.🙏

If you’ve ever wondered about my podcast logo, it’s inspired by some of the street signs you can see in England.

Performing stand-up comedy in front of approx. 2,500 people this evening 🤡, opening for
@ptcomedy
for one of his big shows at Le Grand Rex in Paris. This should be fun - let’s hope the audience can actually understand me! No Russian jokes allowed.

Weird coincidence! In ep.673 my brother talked about his fake UFO picture, printed in the local newspaper. He found the original paper at our parents’ house today. Oddly enough, the photo was printed on Weds 29 July 1987. Today is also Weds 29 July. Coincidence? ...or aliens?

Brexit is like the picture of a Bic Mac on the wall of a McDonald’s. What you actually get in your hands is far from what was advertised.

Just woke up from a vivid dream in which I was hanging out with David Bowie (1972 era) and we got on really well and he was definitely going to be a guest on my podcast. We both agreed that The Rutles was our favourite film ever, which was nice.

Lots of people asking for my comments on Ukraine, or saying “why are you silent about Ukraine?” And “this is no time for jokes”.
I did a whole episode about Ukraine already (760) and of course I completely disagree with the invasion.

Can't understand TV and films these days without subtitles? Apparently, neither can native speakers. Dialogue in TV and films is often just really hard to hear! Why?
