We gently launched our show at Leicester's 'Independent Comedy Festival' last week and, well, I just got an update on ticket sales. It's a big room. Arguably *too* big. And... I am really thrilled by how it's going, given the half-arsitude of our advertising. And the fact that it's not for 3 months.
Just remembered that I probably should have included - at the very least - some details, or a link or something. So here's the link or something: ytheatre.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/...

A bunch of words plopped out of me and you can read them if you'd like to. plasticjeezus.substack.com/p/the-pj-tim...
Good morning. Here's an unexpectedly brilliant version of Smashing Pumpkins' 'Thirty Three', featuring Olivia Rodrigo on guest vocals. (I liked this song on the album - in fact, I bought the CD single - but I think this might actually be better) youtu.be/OETiPBadY-s Enjoy.

I just realised - two days late - that I probably should have included the ticket link for this. Look, I'm not a marketing person. I stand on stage and grumpily twang away on a ukulele. Obviously nobody with any insight into how to sell tickets would do THAT. ytheatre.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/...
The Jack the Ripper case is - famously - unsolved. This man did a BAD job. They've given him a blue plaque for *not* being able to solve a high profile murder case. I don't mean to sound arrogant but I am *also* capable of not solving that case. And nobody's asking where I want *my* blue plaque put.
If, like me, you've never really delved too deeply into the work of PJ Harvey for whatever reason, then I urge you to watch this live gig I just stumbled upon - and perhaps, like me, you'll be utterly spellbound by it. Everything about it is pretty bloody incredible. Enjoy. youtu.be/h6XnHRBYSA8
To be honest, the only other frame of reference I have for her live performances was this one, when she played at Glastonbury in 1995. I recorded it and watched it incessantly. Possibly for the wrong reasons, as a hormonal 15 year old. But still... it was pretty special. youtu.be/oH4Z-ZEpUao
