Sometimes you need a cheery little song to help you cope with the difficult times.

@oliverizod @TheRSC @AustenImpro @_yshani I can’t begin to tell you what it meant Oli. You and Dylan were incredible. And as you say, amazing people doing something slightly different from the Day job, but with all their skill, talent and experience. Gobsmacking.

@ThePleasance @PleasanceComedy @PleasanceFuture @YoungPleasance @PleasanceKids @EdUniStudents @eicc Looking at the glorious categories of comedy on this brochure and thinking of what @elf_lyons has been talking about!

[Dom Gittins @comdotdom]

I was rooting around old material I had produced because - well you know - when I came across some bits I really enjoyed. I thought I might put it out there for you to hear too.

I think an 03:15 Twirl bar is an excellent habit to get into

@iainthomson What a delightfully naïve use of the word ‘my’ by a man with a cat

@themajorclanger Bless you Major. Your multifarious whimsies are often in my thoughts

[Dom Gittins @comdotdom]

@themajorclanger Are you able to make it to the show on Saturday, or will you be sending an small suitcase stuffed with untraceable notes instead ?? 🤭

[Dom Gittins @comdotdom]

@elf_lyons Absolutely right and thoughtfully put across. The range of comedic output is broad and it’s preposterous to compare some categories with others.
Although I will never believe art is a competition, I do believe awards celebrate great art - so let’s 👏 the right thing

“Having more awards … is probably better”

Former Edinburgh Comedy Awards nominee Elf Lyons says this is the moment to broaden out the number of awards to suit different styles of comedy

Hello stalker.
Love you Sis.

Seems quite a reasonable price for a whole Princess

In a flagrant #FuckCancer salute to his metastases, my big brother @comdotdom is weaponising comedy to raise money for @MacmillanCancer. Join us & an insanely talented cast/crew from shows inc. @AustenImpro, @Questingtime & @TheShowstoppers on 3rd June! https://t.co/PQ5vREZLiW

[Dom Gittins @comdotdom]

@EwaSR Thank you for introducing me to @yesterdaysprint - what a delight

[Dom Gittins @comdotdom]

@PianoTuned Charles might hate this (because it’s changed radically) or absolutely love it … might be an interesting thing to try ?

[Dom Gittins @comdotdom]

Just come across @bradmehldau and his album “Your Mother Should Know”
Virtuosic jazz piano plays The Beatles.
I absolutely love it as he takes tunes I know intimately to unexpected note spaces and goes exploring !

On the ward again …
Hey look at me I’m on the ward again
Waking every hour to check blood pressure trends
Holy cannulas ! On the ward again.

If I can’t be in my own bed, at least I can be Willie Nelson 🤠
