I do stuff in comedy but don't let it define me. I record a semi-regular radio show called the Records Retrieval Service that I have let define me. I'm yet to be picked up by ANY UK radio station. https://www.mixcloud.com/RecordsRetrievalService/

Show 86 of the Records Retrieval Service is out now. What is the Records Retrieval Service (RRS)? My vaguely monthly radio show playing my favourite new music (mainly) with adequate links. I think it’s good. And I’ve done 86 of the puppies. www.mixcloud.com/RecordsRetri...

I am on track to have 1 (one) comic produced in time for @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social 2025. When I first visited in 2023 I set myself the personal goal of tabling by 2027. If you’re tabling this year and might want to have my 1 (one) comic & someone with mild patter to help out then I’m all ears.

Hey gang. In personal news I’ve written a comic. It’s currently being illustrated by a group of absolutely dream artists and I’m hoping I’ll be hawking it about the place towards the end of summer. I’m pivoting hard to comics. It’s a vibe and the buzz starts here.

They let us make some TV again. That’s nice. A lot of hypo-talented professional plums involved in the making of this, front and back. Give it a tiny little watch maybe if you like.

Watched this being filmed and it was SO GOOD. You're in for a treat!

Today's the day. If you're unfortunate enough to be outside of Wales, set your iPlayer location to 'Wales' to watch live at 10.30pm. Not that anyone following me needs to do that as you've all RSVP'd and will be watching it in my living room.
