@GuillemBalague @edfringe I did think I saw you at Philosophy of the World, then went 'nah, can't be..'

Maradona play sounds great!

[CLASH @ClashMagazine]

It's the ever-essential Edinburgh Fringe 2025 round-up from @SiHawkins

This year's highlights - American mavericks, Britpop breakdowns, and sibling angst... oh, and a bit of Oasis!

@brucedes Read that as Kevin - absolutely bewildered for a minute there

Can we start a campaign to Release the Acaster Cut?

Tragic R.I.P

@RobertAuton I'm intrigued how he ever came up.. something about groundhog day?

[Si Hawkins @SiHawkins]

@theofficialfwa I only met Paddy once - at the greatest game I ever saw. He was in my seat at Oxford/Orient '06, apologetically moved, but left me with his laptop for a while, which was charging. Was sorely tempted to try a quick para & see what happened, like a sportswriting Billy's Boots

Brexit. In three headlines.

Jaden Smith continuing the family tradition of ruining awards ceremonies for everyone.

It's the (hopefully) triumphant return of @WeirdosComedy's panto tomorrow, for charity - although my chat with Cerys Bradley featured a heartfelt appeal for missing crisps. Have YOU seen them? Cerys would love to know https://t.co/1v1vzTFZUM

[Si Hawkins @SiHawkins]

@brucedes Last thing I saw, he was writing for Sewing Bee (I think), so maybe that sort of thing has taken over, off camera, saving the gags for more lucrative outlets?

[Weirdos Comedy @WeirdosComedy]

The Weirdos Panto returns.
One night only at @bloomstheatre
All money goes to charity.
Buy a ticket today for a glorious night out of silliness.

Yes, yes The Old Vic's Christmas Carol, Julian Clary's panto and Jools' Hootenanny - this is 2024's festive show to see. Well, if they've worked out what to do with it - I had a lazy Sunday chat with Riches, who was busy baking for Kearns. "He demands banana bread..."

[British Comedy Live @UKLiveComedy]

Adam Riches and John Kearns ARE Ball & Boe. Two award-winning comedy mavericks take on two mighty music behemoths, for two weeks before Christmas. Riches explains more in this interview:

Is he just waiting for the last of us liberal types to leave, then he'll turn the X into a swastika?

[John Shuttleworth @johnshuttlewrth]

Hi followers, I recently did my first pre-tour interview. In it I mention newscasters Kenneth Kendal AND Richard Baker, so a riveting read is guaranteed!

Thoughts with our friends in the United States this morning. Why not donate to @ACLU - a vital hub for numerous key campaigns to protect civil liberties.

Bless that @JaneyGodley whose hilarious fury was in equal measure to her gloriously mischievous compassion x

[Si Hawkins @SiHawkins]

Only one big-in-the-90s-&-on-tour-next-year rock icon I wanted to interview. Absolutely dripping with attitude (& probably dripping)

"If I disagree with someone I’m very likely to say ‘You’ve made a grave error!’ Or ‘You’re very wide of the mark, lad!'"

A pleasure to chop it up with #TheChroniclesofDOOM author SKIZ Fernando Jr on anything from breadcrumbs of esoterica the #Supervillain would lay in his lyrics, to his underrated production skills. Published by @FaberBooks on 7/11.
