Definitely go watch this week’s #HardQuiz - partly ‘cause I’m very proud of my coral and beef questions, but also, because we had to teach Tom how to pronounce “UNHhhh”

Good piece from Debi Enker about our broken Oz content rules, sabotaged by the Morrison Government and still not fixed by Labor. Taxpayers who subsidise Australian drama production often can't see the results, screening only behind paywalls.

My neighbour’s smoke alarm went off for ages while nobody seemed to be home, which made me very anxious about what I’d do in a fire TIL the Melbourne Fire Brigade is now called Fire Rescue Victoria. I have no idea how long it’s had that name

A show I just have not been able to swing getting to and will sit at the top of my list of 2025 MICF Regrets. There’s always a couple.

Well. Seems it's 30 years ago to the day that I turned up far too early (at doors) and did my very first open spot, at The Frog & Bucket on Newton St in Manchester, in front of, as it turned out, Caroline Aherne, Peter Hook, @geofflloyd.bsky.social and @davegorman.bsky.social. Might go have a drink.

I keep hoping I'll wake up feeling better. But this pharangitis won't shift. I'm so sad watching the comedy festival slip away, not being able to go out.🙁
