Hello! I'm Bec. I'm a comedian, writer, presenter and (sometimes) actor. I like silliness, wordplay and making flipcharts. Here is a thread of stuff I get up to. Please RT or follow if you like it! Xxx
I mishear Non Je Ne Regrette Rien...
The Danish footballer Kasper Schmeichel is receiving a lot of praise for his performance today.
Less can be said for his brother, Michael, who everyone always sounds very disappointed in.

Sometimes I think about all the stuff I did as a child - gymnastics, swimming, kick-boxing, indoor rock-climbing, camping, dancing, drama, etc, and feel so lazy as an adult.
Then I realise I would do those things today if someone else still booked, paid, and drove me to them.
"This IS Art Attack!" yells Neil Buchanan, throwing his arms open. The camera pulls out, above the trees, above the houses, further and further, past the stratosphere until eventually it stops, revealing Earth is the ultimate Art Attack and Neil Buchanan was God all along.
Men are taught:
- Sharing feelings is "feminine" and bad.
- Physical strength = self-worth.
- It is THEIR job to support a family.
- They are somehow "less of a man" if a wife earns more.
The patriarchy is bad for everyone.
Don't let the system win guys.

Men who live in the UK:
12 men each day take their own lives;
7/10 murder victims are male;
90% of rough sleepers are men;
95% of the prison population is male;
84% of suicides linked to the recession were men.
We need do to better. This is not OK.

<Mario calling his Mum from jail>
MUM: Who is this?
MARIO: It's a me! Mario!
MUM: Oh! What's up sweetie?
MARIO: I am arrested!
MUM: Oh good. I slept well too.
Apparently kids are taught this acronym in school now:
T.H.I.N.K. before you speak.
T - is it True?
H - is it Helpful?
I - is it Inspiring?
N - is it Necessary?
K - is it Kind?
I feel like I need this to pop up every time I go to post online.
Hello! Can you please Google the phrase "Taskmaster Bec Hill"? If enough people do it, eventually my name will automatically show up whenever anyone Googles "Taskmaster" and the producers will have no choice but to book me.
"WHY AM I SO ANXIOUS THESE DAYS?!" she pondered, while scrolling through photos of friends with better lives and listening to another podcast about horrific murders.
A man just got on my train wearing a blue shirt and a red waistcoat and everyone is trying to show him their tickets.
The first few times he tried to explain he is not the conductor, but he gave up and is now just checking and nodding as he walks down the carriage.
Full disclosure: this is the second dance. The first one, Mum didn't press record and let me dance for ages before telling me. Payback for the prank we played on her earlier. We shoulda taken her photo in front of the ship.
I only recently discovered that the on/off symbol (pictured) represents a 1 and a 0 - as in, binary for on/off.
Anyone got any other symbol revelations that blew their minds?

Here I am in Dictionary Corner having the time of my life with my little mug and crayons. No idea what happened on the show. Spent the whole time doodling. Loved every minute.

Staying with a friend who has a small baby. Forgot they have a dog too and freaked out when I heard incredibly fast, tiny footsteps running up the stairs.
OTHER COMEDIANS: I'm going to write some cutting-edge topical jokes for Twitter.
ME: I made tiny donuts for my hamster so he wouldn't feel left out when I ate mine.

The older I get, the more I start to believe that "giving 110%" or "going above and beyond" is a capitalist ideology created to keep people from appreciating the true value of their own time and labour.
"We don't need feminism."
Gillette puts out a commercial asking men to hold other men accountable for harassment.

Like this tweet if you think these seats shouldn't be listed as window seats. I request a window seat because

If I ran a bar, I'd have a sign on the wall with the sign-language for each drink on the menu so that you could order without having to yell. Plus it would teach everyone some simple sign-language.
The majority of charity gigs don't pay and the ones that do, don't pay enough. They're usually tougher, at weird times and without the normal structure required to make a good gig. Yet despite his success,
@MrNishKumar
still does more charity gigs than anyone else I've ever met.
Can anyone convince me why a 2-property cap per person and the prohibition, or nationalisation of all companies whose sole purpose is to buy and rent out residential properties would be a bad thing for the public as a whole?
I thanked the tour guide. Then took this to the counter of the shop and said this is my favourite bit from my favourite Shakespeare story: The Princess Bride.
Hi
@DavidKHarbour
. I thought it would be funny if I put you as the 2nd traveller on the Two Together Railcard.
Turns out you can ONLY use it when travelling TOGETHER.
Please join me for a discount day trip on the train next time you're in London, so this wasn't a waste of £30.
