We'll start.

Brett Goldstein winning three consecutive Emmy nominations for Best Comedy Supporting Actor is extraordinary and can't be celebrated enough. As Conan O'Brien once said: "If you work hard and are kind, amazing things will happen." This dude is living proof and we love him so much.

We are sorry to see the end of Mock The Week. A lot of our pals worked on that show, which proved such a breeding ground for terrific comedy talent. What's more, it was a force for good for the live circuit too, encouraging folk to check out telly stars in the clubs and on tour.

At the risk of toe-curling virtue signalling, it has been brought to our attention that we have ensured more than 100 comedians have been paid since we launched our online shows in April. And that obviously wouldn't be possible without you guys buying tickets. So thank you. 👍❤️

Bill Bailey on Always Be Comedy debut. Was a lovely moment when he walked on. On the newsletter we'd put how we "strictly" couldn't give any clues. And we think some people were expecting Stacey Dooley. Anyway, Mr Bailey dishing out what is known in comedy circles as a "shoeing".
