@brightonfringe
has been very important for my "career" and I was lucky to benefit from bursaries and awards that no longer exist. So now this one does.
This week I was meant to be doing a residency at the lovely
@battersea_arts
centre to make a new show. Instead, I'm going to make stupid inventions in my bedroom and upload them for you. Today: Portable Freight Train. Sound On.
That awkward moment when everyone has a superpower *except* you...😬
#Extraordinary
, a new Original series, is streaming January 25, exclusively on Disney+.
hello everyone. Show is cancelled today because I have food poisoning. Please please please do come back another day if you were booked in for today. I would normally push myself to do it but my team is trying to save me from myself. Please prove them right and come back
Heartbreaking news about VAULT for so many people, but especially the many performers who were going to debut their first ever shows at the festival. If you're wondering where to look next, I'm running a bursary

I do this thing where I give people money to make comedy
@brightonfringe
and then talk about it/how nice I am loads so in many ways, I am the true beneficiary. Here we go again!
This is not a prank. I've spent my "downtime" curating a comedy festival with
@OSOArtsCentre
celebrating the most creative new voices in the biz, featuring their most madly ambitious new ideas. The line up: (deep breath)

POSTER DROP. This year, I'm going for the biggest award in comedy. The Edinburgh Comedy Poster Award. I've made a show only because you can't have a poster without a show, but really this is the main course. Thanks to

Tape measure fun just never ends! (until you reach 8 metres).
This is absolutely amazing. What a treat. For anyone who doesn't know this is pretty much the highest honour in comedy, after all the awards no one cares about

@brightonfringe
Excited to share my show which has been described as like visiting IKEA on acid
@BSpiegeltent
Look. Me and
@kitsullivan
got our first ever sketch commission and we blew the budget on a bouncy castle. Turns out, chasing your dream can pay off, but not if you then spend it all. Very proud anyway

I've added words (and myself) to the Eyewitness theme. When I was growing up, this is what I thought museums looked like.
Retweet like my career depended on it.
It's the weekend! Do yourself a favour and take yourself down to your own personal disco. Another stupid invention from the week I was meant to be doing an "Artist" Residency at
