BBC Breaking News - Donald Trump promises report within 90 days on allegations of Russian hacking during US election campaign: That’s because it’s being posted from Moscow and there are often problems with the mail. I mean, come on. It’s not like they’re going to email it. They’re not stupid.
Guitarist Tommy Allsup who tossed a coin and missed taking the plane that crashed, killing Buddy Holly, dies aged 85: Final Destination always gets its victim.
After much struggle (and as per usual the struggle was getting my arse on the seat and then concentrating on the job in hand rather than games or the internet) I finally got the video script completed. I don’t know why it’s been so hard this time. Maybe it’s just a bit too long a series over a bit too long a time (but how the fuck I managed to turn these out weekly is beyond me). I really want them to be good and that adds an additional pressure. But it will all be worth it. They are such fun to do and you get a lot more out of the live experience as an audience member (due mainly to the multiple fuck ups we are bound to make). The last two are selling well, which is great news, as we’re basically out of money. So if you can come along on Sunday at 7.30pm at the Leicester Square Theatre or on the 12th February, we won’t just give you a fab night of ramshackle comedy, but you’ll be giving us funds to film the last few sketches that I want to do. Buy your tickets here or if you can’t make it and you missed out on the kickstarter, you can buy merch and access the secret channel which will be packed with AIOTM extras (there’s some fun stuff up there already) and give you longer versions of each show, before the non-paying scum public see them.
It’s been a very interesting experiment. I did six episodes of Meaning of Life on a budget of £25,000 which definitely wasn’t enough and I’ve discovered that £100,000 isn’t enough for six episodes either. But whatever happens and however it is received we are pushing back the boundaries of what is possible online, without a broadcaster and solely through the support of fans. Thanks for helping us achieve this. I think you’ll get good value for your money though. Nice rewards plus six bonus podcasts plus six hour long comedy shows! Hooray!
It was my turn to get up with Phoebe today. When I opened her door and she saw that it was me she said “Uh-oh”. She is my harshest critic. And views my wife like a Trump supporter views Trump. She can do no wrong! Even though I let Phoebe get away with stuff and am nowhere near as strict as Catie is. Maybe because of that.
And I’ve idly started thinking about the new Edinburgh show and looking back at my half century on this planet to try and assess how things are going. I realised that of all the things I’ve done I only regret the people I didn’t have sex with. And 66% of the people I did have sex with. So nice to know that of the people I regret not having sex with, I would have regretted having sex with two thirds of them. But there’s no way of knowing which two thirds it would have been. If only I’d had sex with them at least I could have correctly tallied my regret.
