What a great post. Good on you for doing one of the most worthwhile jobs out there. You’re making a real difference mate 💜

inattentivedetail.bsky.social•97 days ago

Yessss bz congrats on the job that'll be great! Hoping for another liverpool gig still tbf.

catbob.bsky.social•101 days ago

Brilliant, thanks for being honest and so glad you're finding fulfilment working with these children while still doing your thing!

halloweenjackb.bsky.social•102 days ago

Great read to be fair. Made me think of this absolute Norwich City (and Scotland tbf) legend. Not quite the same situation. But always interesting to hear the perspective of anyone who has stepped between very different worlds in their job. https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/20874762.norwich-city-football-hero-teaching-assistant-robert-flecks-inspirational-story/

This is fantastic, honest stuff. I started off my career working with disabled kids for a charity and I know and miss that warmth you describe. Please keep writing about it!

petesjoner.bsky.social•100 days ago

Always love your stuff, and wish you were bigger and got the breaks you deserve. Saying that, my son (good lab tbf) will always have some contact with SEN, and knowing good family men like you are involved with system and making a difference feels warm. Good luck with both streams of work.

igperrish.bsky.social•101 days ago

Interesting read, think I've managed to subscribe to your Substack now.

sublimesnapshot.bsky.social•99 days ago

I admire your openness and honesty in sharing this. Having seen your Care show live at the Mac in Birmingham it wouldn't surprise me if this new job provides some more heartwarmingly funny comedy material one day in the future.

rwatership.bsky.social•102 days ago

Aww that sounds like a class job Gaffer, my eldest sister has DS so I know both how challenging but rewarding that kind of work is. Glad things have worked out and hope all is well with the family tbf x

kaedesmith.bsky.social•101 days ago

Really loved reading this, thank you for sharing.

callmeconor.bsky.social•102 days ago

Resonates hard with me, today of all days, when I've officially been given notice from my dream job too.
To steal a phrase from my mum "what's for you, won't go by you!". Keep doing your thing. It'll work out.

Now get out of here before I flying kick you in the back in a corridor tbf

loufioravanti.bsky.social•101 days ago

I loved it!

maceyjustice.bsky.social•102 days ago

Absolutely brilliant. You'll make a great deal of difference to these kids.

srhlou.bsky.social•102 days ago

Congratulations on your journey, I used to work in the same role and I enjoyed it so much!! Even being punched in the head felt somewhat fun (who can blame them morning assembly is boring and rubbish)

rachelprevails.bsky.social•101 days ago

Rooting for you, pal 🙏💙

athenakugblenu.bsky.social•102 days ago

You'd be surprised what's going on that people aren't sharing. I'm happy you've found fulfilling work. and youre still a comic. You get to say that shit forever

jimdalycomedy.bsky.social•102 days ago

Share a LOT of those feelings and also currently have a job outside of comedy. Btw, this was the first substack I ever read, was class tbf.

jimmyhell.bsky.social•102 days ago

Awww, go ed Bilal, you'll be sound. Great to read such honesty tbf.

johnsonjx.bsky.social•102 days ago

This is the reason Substack was invented. ATB (all the best)

poochied.bsky.social•102 days ago

first good substack article

choppychunks.bsky.social•101 days ago

Love this. Good to have good people in the profession (like me. I'm great!)

You are v funny to be honest hehe .. you have talent and warmth and keep digging - you will get there.. the podcast with Joey is cool as well never forget how wonderful you are

bitmuchmate.itch.io•101 days ago

This is great, but I hope it doesn't affect your Benidorm dates.

magnusman.bsky.social•100 days ago

Top stuff gaffer

siturner.bsky.social•102 days ago

Honestly, the amount of times I'm watching a comedian and they drop in that they have a day job, it's crazy

My wife works with SEN children and it sounds so rewarding. Thanks for writing about it

lukeish.bsky.social•102 days ago

Congrats on the job. I know it must have been hard to stomach getting a "real job", but you're doing something worthwhile. That's a lot more than most people can say. "Success" (define that any way you like) in the arts isn't a linear process; you're young, there's loads of time.

kayleigh-jones.bsky.social•101 days ago

This is the first Substack I've read. I still don't know what a Substack is, & I refuse to ask anyone. But I enjoyed it. I have endometriosis, I feel your wife's pain, literally.
I still have a day job, obviously, who am I? I used to work in a SEN school, a kid fish hooked me. You're gonna love it.

jaycorns.bsky.social•100 days ago

This was class 👌🏼

gaijintendo.bsky.social•101 days ago

I don't like comedy, but even I can see you are Britain's Funniest Man. What I love is work that requires a shower as soon as you get home, and you have to respect that. Which, for clarity, I do.

samwhyte.bsky.social•101 days ago

My fella's an SEN TLA having also done care work and I know you can really be the difference that makes the difference when you click with the kids you're supporting. Congrats on the job!

deweyarsenal.bsky.social•99 days ago

It's on 69 reposts now no need to thank me

bezlightyear.bsky.social•101 days ago

Nice.

sauronsbeagle.bsky.social•101 days ago

You're a class Britishman, Bilal, if you can even say such a thing these days?

hereslee.bsky.social•101 days ago

Lovely stuff. Congrats and good luck with it, gaffer.
