The difference between comedians and politicians is that comedians are too clever to stand in the firing line, so they join the firing squad

Last night the @metoffice issued the first yellow snow and ice warning of the season. This means it’s time for my annual yellow snow and ice warning. Do not eat yellow snow and ice, you have been warned.

I’m not sure what’s more surprising, a solid gold 50p coin featuring the snowman walking in the air, or the fact the royal mint does an advent calendar! #OddNews #TheFridayWeek Gold Snowman 50p hidden in Christmas calendar https://t.co/aXwVhTLzKW

TBH today’s one person audience does hurt, but that’s just part of the #Edfringe and frankly I’m pretty happy it’s taken this long to happen! She was awesome, laughed through the whole show so no real complaint. Just hope this doesn’t happen on Tuesday when my parents are in!🙀🥹

Saw an excellent dark Comedy called 27 on the #EdinburghFringe
It’s about a man approaching his 28th birthday and getting obsessed with celebrities who died at the peak of fame at the age of 27.
@Cold-open-theatre foolishly chose a short run, so there’s only two nights left!

First day of cooking for myself at the Edinburgh Fringe! I have not invented fried broccoli! I repeat, I have not invented fried broccoli! #ExperimentingWithFood #EdFringe

[Richard Wheatley @ROMTWheatley]

Edinburgh Fringe starts tomorrow for me! #AmIBeautiful is a tricky question at the best of times, even tougher when you’re blind.

Super excited to be picked for the UK Showdown squad! I only started playing in October and yet, somehow, this time next week I’ll be competing in Prague!#Showdown #Paralympics #BlindSport It’s a bit like blind table tennis mixed with air hockey.

After five weeks of brewing, it’s time to crack open the home-made beer.

Does anyone fancy supporting grassroots comedy with me next week? I’m performing at the star of Kings Kings Cross on Monday, and the Royal George on Charing Cross Road on Thursday. Both are usually excellent nights! #LondonComedy #GAndB
