Two men find a melon in a forest and it almost destroys them. Very proud of this short film I made with my best friend! Link in reply.

My best friend filmed this fight sequence between us entirely by himself - no other camerapeople; no sound or lighting guys. Take a look.
Full film here: youtube.com/watch?v=AJoLGtxG…

“It’s always interesting what goes on when people don’t know they’re being listened to.”
Those lovely folk at The Quietus have run an exclusive extract of my latest book, MICROPHONE. Sink your eyes into this!

Little glimpse of Two Men and a Melon. Full thing below. What's this short comedy film about? Thank you. It's about two men who discover a mysterious melon in a forest, and are almost torn apart by its power. Give it a bloody watch, m8.

Made a short film with my best friend and you know what - we're so proud of it. It's an age-told tale of two guys who find a sinister melon beneath the ground, and it tears them apart.

An insidious offshoot of sending influencers in to do a journalist's job is that it props up and justifies the celeb-on-celeb interview, which we've all fallen prey to, is generally bad for the form, and like many things may be Jimmy Fallon's fault. theguardian.com/culture/2026…

Gorrrrrrgeous goal. But terrible defending. I'm afraid this will be the greatest goal ever for a long, long time.

Back By Popular Demand.
The greatest goal of all time, a bit of magic from Frank Worthington, with appreciation from the referee.
RIP Frank

On an earnest note - if you want to see more SNL UK-style things happen (AND WHO DOESN'T) - support live comedy. Support comics doing weird things. Specifically, support it on Friday night by coming to this. Cheers.

Yes. This is exactly why I wrote Microphone - out in April.

My husband commented that he really liked the noises I make during sex. On the basis that more is better, I arranged a microphone and amplifier to give him more of it. Hearing myself put me right off it. Sometimes, electronic help isn't helpful.

Our guest this week is certainly someone to “write home about” if you’ll excuse the pun! Ralph Jones is a journalist, author, script writer and comedian, and he also crops up on various platforms as a performer and contributor. How does he fit it all in?! Join us now to find out!

I watched Katie Hopkins do stand-up. It was one of the worst nights of my life.

EXTRAORDINARY man. I know he was sacked; he didn’t resign. We are witnessing the unravelling of a giant loser.

As someone with a couple of TV script options, I'd love to offer comedy script feedback to people who need it. Get in touch for wise counsel and pedantic corrections on spelling.
