@DawnDrush12 @Thehexagon Thank you for coming :)

A fascinating show @Thehexagon tonight by a man who exudes his love of the night sky. He speaks with humour and enthusiasm and you learn a lot about all things astronomy, enhanced by spectacular sound and visuals.

CALLING EVERYONE IN OR NEAR READING! The Night Sky Show comes to Reading Hexagon on Sunday. This is your last chance to see this show here, so don't miss it. A fantastic evening exploring the cosmos for everyone. Book here: whatsonreading.com/venues/hexagon…

See me in Reading theis weekend. :) I promise you will love it. It's nothing like a victorian freak show, but just as interesting.

@JimGB1989 I haven't been to a party in ages and you are right good ones are very rare. There was the new years party bringing in the millennium. I enjoyed that and was very, very drunk.

@VirtualAstro "I was expecting this". Well obviously, you were deliberately goading a response. And can someone tell me about the party that doesn't come with lots of awful problems? Because I've never seem one in my lifetime.

So in todays social experiment. I mentioned that you shouldn't vote for the reform party as it comes with all sorts of awful problems. The response funilly enough, came from people who would be voting that way and they were a bit miffed. I was expecting this. It's the old adage: flies will always gather around poo.

ATTENTION PEOPLE IN & NEAR READING! The Night Sky Show comes to the Reading Hexagon this weekend. Have a fantastic night out exploring the night sky and universe beyond, in a very entertaining, informative and enjoyable way. Not to be missed!

Why on Earth do people have to tell you that they are unfollowing and make a big deal about it? If you want to unfollow, just do it. Telling the person you are unfollowing just makes you look like an idiot. As for the rest of you. Carry on 👍

This evening I rode a Lama. And it was good.

@simonbfraser You will have to ask the venue as I don’t know myself. See you there.

For the next few days, I will be contacting theatres and venues up and down the UK. If you would like The Night Sky Show to come to a theatre near you, let me know which one, or get them to contact me. 2024 is pretty much booked up and now I'm booking 2025

My first big arena show. I feel all grown up and slightly terrified. 🤣🤣🤣

Holy shit you can actually see satellites orbiting!!!

If you follow me on any social media channel, I want you to understand that I am a real person and won't just pump out astronomy and space stuff. I will sometimes talk about other things, be serious, be silly. I will sometimes make you laugh and sometimes piss you off. This is social media and mine is all shiny and nice. You need to either accept that or unfollow.

@hatternick I hear you :)

@VirtualAstro temu MAGA latching onto astronomy. Didn`t have that on my 2026 bingo card! I agree with you FWIW which i know is the square root of jack shit
