Well, another Bath Comedy Festival tucks itself up in bed, and levity flies from the city once again for another year. This was a particularly light year for me, as my usual multiple duties mainly boiled down to just performing at Moles club on Sunday 9th, for this year's FUNNY NOISES: MY LOVELY HORSE! True, a…
More updates on SOUPY TWISTS: Digested and excreted for your pervy pleasure! Now read on, dot dot dot… 9) Since You Have Been Kind Enough Never To Be Peter Sissons... Sirs and Madams, I am chastened and bowed – ever the men and women of affairs, you have reminded us all, ALL, of our duty. A Fry &…
"Unless, of course, I’m absolutely entirely wrong, again." To be fair, it's still a remake – they just went with Brexit's 'DICKS ARE RUNNING EVERYTHING' finale instead.
HAPPY HALLOWE'EN, SOUPY TWISTERS! https://twitter.com/JemRoberts/status/792080187324334080 I am actually IN America (The States) as the holiday comes around (so don't throw me out of a window, Stephen and Hugh), and sadly, with that reference, I've already used up the best Fry & Laurie video for Hallowe'en in the text above, but to celebrate us hitting a wonderful…

And so, the most stressful time of the year draws to a close yet again – The Bath Comedy Festival 2016 is, for me at least, bar a silly afternoon of Unrehearsed Monty Python & The Holy Grail, drawing to a close. Between the shows I have run, the work I have had to do,…
Happy springtime! That most insanely stressful time of my year, thanks to the Bath Comedy Festival, now entering its... what? 8th year you say? That sounds about right, and I've put together shows for all of them. In fact, thanks to working on my first book at the time, I'd semi-retired from performing when the…
Well, what a treat, above all. That’s the main thing to take away from Offstage Theatre’s live tribute to the wonders of I’m Sorry I’ll Read That Again – how lucky we all were that they put that show together, and those of us who were born long after the last proper episode of ISIRTA…
