The Comedy Doctor

I'm Sophie. I'm studying a PhD in sitcoms to become the Comedy Doctor. I'm a writer and my work is 'imaginatively revolting'.

Rik Mayall is my god.

I made a rug of my favourite scene of my favourite episode of my favourite TV show where my favourite character delivers my favourite joke.

I made the pattern myself. It's taken just over a year & is made up of 19312 individual knots (plus the many more that were wrong & undone)

@BigCuckLittle Oof that's rough. Hope it got better after that!

Travelling on a busy train reminds you how selfish people can be. Took ages for anyone to move so my partner on crutches could sit, and only then when asked, and someone couldn't wait for me to move to get their suitcase down from overhead compartment and fully dropped it on me.

No thank you x

How gorgeous to hear a robin singing and look up and see this directly above me. And how telling about who keeps pooing on my chair.

A fun sign to find at work

@andrewjosephact I love this

[The Comedy Doctor @comedy_doc]

Other people my age have their phone galleries full of pictures of their kids. Mine is full of this robin who follows me around. I love him.

@SarahLidsActor Do it! They're like a tenner on Amazon and it means I get entertained by sweet little birds while washing up. And the pigeons and squirrels can't get to them because they're too chunky so the little ones get a chance

@andrewjosephact Everything that comes to our garden goes mad for sunflower seeds that are still in the shell. They don't eat the shell but also don't really care for ones that are shelled ready for them. But most days the squirrels get there first and polish all those off.

@danwaterfield Oh god I know. I'm now teaching students at that college WHO WERE BORN THE YEAR WE LEFT.

[The Comedy Doctor @comedy_doc]

@danwaterfield I have cat ones too. I don't have a cat.

Kirsty MacColl night on the BBC is my favourite thing ever

[The Comedy Doctor @comedy_doc]

Really enjoyed this from the Guardian's Paul Heaton interview

Trying to stick with the good habit of having a calm morning coffee outside with the birds even when the weather's rubbish. An easy habit in spring & summer & I've got to remind myself of the good impact on my day & stick with it! Plus wellies at 7am feels like I'm at a festival

Personal success story

[The Comedy Doctor @comedy_doc]

There's a condom demonstrator in our office that used to belong to the health and social care team, and we don't know how or why we got it, but it's been there for years. This week we gave him a smiley face and a crocheted cowboy hat.
