If you live in North London, first of all, stop showing off. Secondly, I'll be holding a Detectives' Masterclass at the Proms at St Jude's on Sunday 29th June. It's free, it's for kids aged 7-11 and it's funny: www.promsatstjudes.org.uk/promsevent/j...

The remote islands of Scotland are known to be home to folk with the second sight. Alasdair tells James the story of three gifted seers, each of whom came to a sticky end. (In one case, literally. Barrel of tar, innit?)

North Americans, you can now get my audiobook of Montgomery Bonbon: Mystery at the Manor via @prhaudio.bsky.social. There are some absolutely cracking accents in this one, plus jokes and an impossible murder... www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/803559...

Reading gamerant hints for Lorelei & the Laser Eyes, and it's full of weird (ai?) phrases in place of "the player", resulting in absurd sentences like: "Fans of games with unique art styles should flip the switches" and "Fans of indie games should then press the return key". Why be like this?

Hastings! Come and see me working on a new show this Weds 11th. The graphic says "selling fast" and they're not allowed to lie about that, so the show is probably going to be very cool and popular. Tickets: www.jokepit.com/comedy-in/hastings/alasdair-beckett-king-king-of-crumbs-work-in-progr/28094

I'm off to Cheltenham Science Festival tomorrow to ask the big questions. Like, "is it a problem that my act doesn't have any science jokes in it?" Check out this lovely lineup: www.cheltenhamfestivals.org/events/variety-night

This always bears repeating. Getting a GRC is supposed to be the final confirmation, not the first step. Saying you shouldn't live as your acquired gender until you already have a GRC is a bit like saying you shouldn't live in the UK until you're already a British citizen.
