I was reminded about this when watching 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown yesterday. Huge Davies did three songs, all of which I'd heard when he was supporting Phil Wang. This year I went to: Colin & Brad - Scared Scriptless I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue The Infinite Monkey Cage Michael Spicer The... Continue reading

Live comedy in 2020
I like to go and see live comedy. I had quite a bit in the diary for this year, which quickly got cancelled from March. Although then I saw more than I thought, as they included live screenings.

Funny stuff
I thought that posting about some of the funny RSS feeds and twitter feeds I've been looking at recently would be fun.
