I'd like to be rich enough to be successful

I'm not sure my year's going to get better than this, tbh @The_Ben_Starr

WELP - today I found myself loving BBC2's Chess show, and that Martin Short and Meryl Streep are dating. This year has completed

The Change, the comedy written by and starring @BridgetChristie, returns to Channel 4 on Tuesday 25th March for Series 2. Here's an exclusive look at the trailer: comedy.co.uk/tv/fyi/750/the…

@GinaLyons Me please!

I’ve set up a women in comedy WhatsApp group. Performers/ writers/ producers/ directors/ casting/ agents. If you work in comedy and identify as female, get involved.

Katie Hims is also one of my favourite writers for @BBCTheArchers and you can find Blood, Sex and Money here: libro.fm/audiobooks/978… @BBCRadio4 5/5 (yes, I'm' done)

(having tried listening to some of the newer non-British productions - they sounds straight out of old-timey radio) We should be proud of this work. 4/5

What a brilliant piece by radio dramatist Katie on what we lose by cutting radio drama to (less than) the bone. bit.ly/41ru5OO I've been able to experience so many classics and new writing through BBC's radio dramas - it's the first place I heard Mike Bartlett 1/5

7-day viewing figures for television devices (not mobile, tablets etc), show have revealed Amandaland Episode 1 as the most-watched launch for a new BBC One comedy series since Ghosts in 2019, with just over 4 million viewers.

@JoannaTilley @ExpectationEnt1 @BCGPro @BritishComedy Ah that's such a nice thing to say! Especially from a fellow David Nobbs shortlister, and another fantastic comedy writer. I do, however, have a graveyard of dead competition entries. Let's not think about that ...

@NobbsMemorial @BCGPro @ExpectationEnt1 thank you!

@anabasuwrites @BCGPro @ExpectationEnt1 Congratulations! Wonderful news!

Online profiles are getting a dusting, with hopefully no exchange for my soul ("but it's so profitable!"). All listed now with a shiny linktr.ee/anabasu, and a cartoon to soften the blow of how boring this message is

Hi @BCGPro! Any update on the Expectation Call-Out Competition?

@indieventurepod I'm listening right now, and the podcast has never felt closer to splitting up 😓😬🤣

WHY ARE NONE OF YOU SAYING I’m X-iting

Last night @TheLCW we had obstacles to moving on romantically for Mothers Undertaking Fitness Fun, a fictional @ykayani81 bonding with the old folks & hospital reviews for the bereaved Thanks to everyone who joined us. We meet next on Tuesday 26th November: same time, same place

I volunteer at #Oxfam & a man came in today to donate toys and children's books precisely because he had read this @caitlinmoran @thetimes article. Please do take your clean, usable, saleable items to a charity shop before #Christmas rather than waiting until afterwards 😊

This thing is I can work really really hard as a comedy writer, but I will never be as funny as Alison Hammond at any given moment. And I have to LIVE with that truth
