Had a huge row with a racist on the bus. She told a girl to “go back to her own country”. I went batshit&she told me I needed to educate myself. Told her I have 2 degrees,she went quiet. She will never know I didn’t finish one&the other is in Contemporary Theatre so doesn’t count

‘s free training? You’ve got the time now. Or is it not actually about that?
The last 6 houses that have come up for sale in my tiny village on Ynys Môn are now second/holiday homes. Lots of people retire here too, this means the village school - just like the village shop before it- is almost certainly going to go. 🧵 1/5
Comedians being transphobic contribute towards a culture of fear that makes trans people incredible marginalised & unsafe. I hate it when women’s safety is used as a straw man for these attacks cos I know of far more male comics who’ve assaulted women than trans people who have.
Can I just recommend joining a local rugby team? You’ll meet lovely, fun, supportive folk. It’s a sport where every body type has a chance to shine and the nights out are wild. I had never played it before last summer and now I love training rain or shine.
Thanks for all your lush tweets about HIGNFY -earrings by
@tattydevine
. Lads slagging my laugh off- that’s what a woman sounds like when she’s having fun, soz you’re not more used to it. Changed my twitter settings, so keep yelling into the ether & I’ll keep laughing on tv.
Got a joiner in the house today who's part of a male voice choir. He's got a Christmas playlist on and he's singing along to it. It's a free carol service and I'm nearly in tears at my laptop it's so lovely.
Love all the lads showing concern for women while laying it out like a dating profile. “I’m 6ft &well built. I understand why a woman on her own might feel intimidated even though I’m well dressed & smell nice. How is she supposed to know I read and my sister is my best friend?”
Ah, the burning indignity of chasing payment for a job you did six months ago. Begging for money that’s rightfully yours from someone on a salary who can’t understand the urgency. Good to see this dance never goes away.
Paid my student loan back this year which is obviously part of the agreement but also as someone who did an arts degree very much not part of the non verbal agreement. Anyway, Enjoy the money, I hope it makes you happy. Dear lord, what a sad little life, Salford.
When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life. When a woman is tired of London she’s tired of near constant low level sexual harassment on public transport.
If you love Wales for holidays, you surely get why we love living here & so many of us want to have families here. Many of us want our families to be raised speaking Welsh. All this is becoming less & less likely. We’re not anti tourism, or anti English, we’re pro community.
4/5
Fuck me, making people do stand up to a room full of blow up dolls and 4 audience members is brutal. There’s challenges in the Saw franchise that are kinder than that.
Hello comedians who are lads who care about our industry. Next time you’re on a bill with no chicks and it’s all white and straight, it would be nice to think you’d ask the club or promoter why. Be lush to think you had our backs when it comes to representation.
As money is rapidly becoming worthless and crypto is for boys who are mad and boring can we start a new currency? Let’s use something tangible and accessible and bountiful to all. My suggestion: empty GU ramekins.
Cocktail bars with a secret fake entrance are the worst. It’s bad enough paying 11 quid for a G&T without adding to the indignity by climbing through a washing machine first.
You know when people get GCSE results & lots of folk give lovely advice about how they felt, how they did and what they do now? Can we do the same with the fringe? All the newer acts I know (and most the established ones) are feeling so much pressure, especially financially.
I gave blood for the first time ever today and they let me hold the warm, full, bag and I felt so proud. I will now be starting all sentences with “speaking as a Mother…”
The industry can meaningfully help class representation in comedy by PAYING ON TIME. If you're not underwritten by familial wealth cash flow is always an issue, pay people on time so they can live. Doesn't feel like a huge ask?
Last night as I was saying bye to my audience a woman came up and said “what is felching? No one will tell me” and another woman swept in and said “this is my Mother please don’t tell her”.
So excited to announce that I’ll be presenting a show on

Another clip where I spend much of it on the verve of tears. The Welsh language is such an emotive thing for me so please be kind when you watch the show tomorrow!
Amazing when people make the case for humanising immigrants by saying “we need them! They look after our children, serve our food and they prop up the NHS”. They shouldn’t have to be useful to you to deserve your respect and compassion guys!
This is depressing common now and my fear is, it’s done. You can’t roll back the time on this stuff. Reform and regulation is moving at a glacial pace and when anyone speaks up the welsh people are painted as xenophobes or ungrateful. 3/5

So much love for my outfit on tonight’s
@richardosman
House of Games. It’s a custom outfit from Donald Stanley (insta) female owed, small business who make everything to order and are fully size inclusive.
My partner had to shave his beard for an acting thing. He didn’t want to because he said I would fall out of love with him! He shaved it and it turns out he was bang on the money. Hard way for us both to find out I can’t love his actual face.
Shout out to all the people having their weight commented on by relatives. My fav from my Dad “Some people just don’t care what they look like I suppose”.
Sometimes I don't think we've moved forward much as a society and then I remember as a kid that if one bulb went on the Christmas lights NONE OF THEM WORKED and I realise we ARE in the future.
Solidarity with everyone striking today and especially my brothers, both teachers. I know they’ve agonised about this and wouldn’t be away from their classes if they felt there were another option.
You can’t fat shame me because to qualify I would need to think there was something to be ashamed of. You can’t great tits shame me or lovely vagina shame me either.
If I ever present the News at Ten (throw it on the bucket list, you never know) I will insist on doing so in my sequin welsh flag leotard complete with cape. To show solidarity with
@huwbbc
and any excuse tbh.
I always hear people using anti trans arguments to nebulously defend against men exploiting spaces, like toilets. What isn't nebulous is the amount of women and nb people I know who aren't femme being questioned on their genitalia in toilets by self appointed genital prefects.
Got a lot of respect for the women on the charity shop I bought a top from telling me “this shirt is a lovely colour, I thought about buying it but it would be far too big for me”.
According to her latest mailout the Tory MP for Môn is going to be on the “children’s TV Show”

that. When I filmed for them at the start of this year I was wearing a badge with “NHS” on & they made me take it off. Odd priorities.
Absolutely love Gen Z going after us millennials for having side partings. YOU’D HIDE AS MUCH OF YOUR FACE AS YOU COULD IF YOU’D LIVED THROUGH OUR EYEBROW TRENDS.

BBC Children In Need: The Big Welsh Round-Up
Sunday, 4pm, BBC One Wales
Fun that gaslighting has moved from a term that finally allowed victims to articulate their experience to a word you can use to display your displeasure that mango flavoured coke existed. Another superb and subtle way of minimising survivors’ experience.
Yesterday I met the amazing woman who’s going to be doing BSL at my show on the 12th & the 26th. She came up & checked some spellings of welsh words & bought a bumbag! She wants to wear some sequins & big earrings too so I’m kitting her out for the occasion! I can’t wait!
In the last fortnight two of my pals living in Gwynedd have been asked to leave their long term rentals as they’re being turned into holiday homes. One had a family with two kids under 4. One has found a house & the one with kids is going to put a caravan on a mate’s field. 2/5
It’s nearly that time of year where a fella explains to you that actually he “cooks sprouts with bacon and they taste great“ with the confidence of the person who invented it.
If I find out I’m very ill you can bet I’ll be naming and shaming all the male comedians who are cheating on their wives and Fiancés. Really go down in flames.
Embarrassingly late to the party but love You’re Dead To Me podcast. If you love history but don’t have the attention span to read books 🙋🏻♀️ I think you’ll really love it too.
Ok, the news is out in the world and I’m so proud to be a part of this year’s
@comicrelief
. It was an amazing experience and Glesni my dog for Countryfile’s One Red Nose and Their Dog was an absolute babe. She’s less enamoured with me as you can see.
You shouldn’t be able to be an MP if you haven’t ever been so skint in your life that at least once you had to steal toilet roll from a pub/university/parents house to take home and use.
