Squirrel Comedy

I especially loved Koenig as The Sexy Villain Bester in Babylon5. His acting in that was astonishingly good. RIP dear sweet Walter.

I’ll say it: it shows what disgusting pigs Americans are that they eat their cheesecake right there at the factory instead of waiting for it to be delivered to a store or restaurant

Today we lost Walter Koenig. Some thoughts about a fine actor and genuinely nice guy....

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

The point's been made by smarter people, but I think the worst AI thing is that it frames these rewarding pursuits as tasks you must want to get out of the way. Let me read/write/think this for you! No good can come from YOU doing it!

Fantastic Emceeing @locallaughs.bsky.social tonight by Terrie Arthur (Freddie Arthur). Dressed to terrify ( as her mum for Halloween.👻☠️

Very exciting visit from The Count himself tonight for the @locallaughs.bsky.social Halloween special. @benvolchok.bsky.social brought Dracula doing standup.

Had a lovely time at the Cheerful Earful podcast Festival seeing @mrjoshearl.bsky.social's Don't You Know Who I Am with Bron Lewis, Ray O'Leary, Scout Boxall and Ben Russell. Hillarious! And warm and cosy in Humdinger Studios out of the crappy weather.

The New From The Hideout had @tonymartin.bsky.social mention Pete doing breakdown announcements late at night. Here's a genuine off-air example of such an apology.

He was also in the Quinn Martin stable of recurring guest stars. 🫡

The difference between me and Americans. #standupcomedy #jocaulfield

The collective noun for hermits is a paradox

I went to see my old mate Tim Key's show tonight. Several people came up and said 'this must be annoying, but can we have a selfie'. I was all gracious: 'haha, it's fine!' Actually it's more than fine. I NEED IT. PLEASE RECOGNISE ME.

Doctor Who: City of Death - Part Four (20th October 1979). "I think that was possibly the most important punch in history."

The Melbourne Fringe Festival Award Winners can be found on their website. Briefly: Best Comedy: Nosebleeds, a sketch comedy act - Holly Bohmer, Mario Hannah and Taylor Griffiths. Best Cabaret: Dead Don't Dance by Dean Nash. Spirit of the fringe: Slugs www.melbournefringe.com.au/news-stories...

Watching Oliver Clark sing the news on Sam Pang Tonight is fantastic and warming my heart. (Also Kitty Flanagan should've been hosting her own tonight show years ago, she's so effing talented.)

SAM PANG TONIGHT is back, 8.40 tonight on Ten. I may or may not have an extremely stupid cameo.

So yeah Aussie Bird Count starts tomorrow. But there’s nothing stopping you from starting early, and I’ve already done three counts. #AussieBirdCount

Weekend catch-up: Social media parasites are shamelessly stealing comedians' material and remaking it with AI-generated avatars. http://dlvr.it/TVy82l

Maybe it will happen today... youtu.be/kSQ8tZ35t4U?...

The unproduced Strange New Worlds x Doctor Who crossover Akiva Goldsman: “We really did talk to Russell for a while about crossing over the two shows. Not just, ‘Hey, wouldn't it be a fun idea,’ but how to do it. How narratively it would work. Ultimately, there were too many corporate hurdles.”

We're all going to die. Good to know.

Restaurant idea. An abba themed curry house called chicken tikka, tell me what’s wrong. Good day to you.

Make space enough between you.

I have to admit, Shane Gillis‘s “Didn’t know women were dressing like whores at the gym“ joke in his SNL monologue really captured the comedy zeitgeist of a Funny Bone open mic night in 1985.

Having Lorne Michaels be producer of SNL in 2026 is like if they had hired someone to produce it in 1975 whose main claim to fame was a hit radio comedy from 1928.

Tired of having wrists? Great news,

“I felt a great disturbance in the internet, as if millions of fascist and racist voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.”

Last night I saw one of the best stand up shows this year, Tegan Higginbotham's Follow That Turtle! It's Dark, it's provocative, it's funny, it's Tegan! Only 5 shows to go from Wed til Sun at Theory Bar in the CBD (used to be Loop) 🤩 Get out to the last week of #MelbourneFringe

The MC tonight @locallaughs.bsky.social was Sweeney Preston who did a fantastic job of it. There is an art to hosting a comedy line up and Sweeney ticked all the good boxes. Seriously brilliant. Always good to see a young comedian honing their craft.

So wonderful having Denise Scott back headlining @locallaughs.bsky.social killing with a brand new bit about how shit the entertainment at the NRL Grand Final on the weekend was. And none of us at the Local are sporty, let alone NRL, but she painted the most hilarious picture for us. She was awesome

Last night's Melbourne Fringe show was Harold Holt: The Man, The Myth. I enjoyed it but it started HALF an hour late. So I was a little late for my next show Welcome To Hell, which had a total lock out policy! No late entries at all! So be careful out there Fringe goers.

What an awesome first night #melbournefringe tonight. So excited to start with one of the best Cabaret artists in the country, Jude Perl. Jazzy piano playing & a voice to send you into the ether. She's inviting talented friends on stage and tonight was Kate K-S and their voices blended perfectly. 🤩

I'm up the SUNSHINE COAST next week, with shows in MAROOCHYDORE, COOLUM and MOOLOOLAH VALLEY: www.funnycoastcomedy.com.au/comedy-shows
