During rehearsals for The Who’s Tommy,
Daniel Day-Lewis,
Who had been cast as the eponymous lead,
Decided to really commit
And gouged his eyes out, cut off his tongue, and chopped off his ears.
Then theatres closed down,
And Daniel was left wondering,
“Is this really viable?”
Hey @GreggsOfficial - I'm absolutely furious. I just tried to buy a festive bake from Greggs in Westfield Stratford, and your man in there refused to serve it to me because it "wasn't on the till". (1/2)
When I asked him what he was going to do with the entire tray of festive bakes just sitting there under the counter, he said they'd probably get thrown in the bin! And despite me pointing out the insanity of this he still refused to give me one! (2/2)
P.S. I'm not out to get the guy sacked or anything, but it takes a certain kind of idiocy and/or cruelty to say you're going to throw away a whole load of product rather than give it to the homeless or something. Or just sell it to a willing paying customer, eh @GreggsOfficial?
Only a week to go until my brand new show launches @RedbridgeDrama. This is a show I've wanted to make for FIVE YEARS. It's finally happened and I'd love to see as many of you there as possible. It's not topical or at all relevant. BUT IT'S FUN. So come.

I have a new show on soon.
THE DEADCOATS, a new comedy-horror double act about two dead Butlins Redcoats. I'm pretty pleased with how it's turning out.
We've got a preview on Thurs 11th July.
Come?

I followed Nigel Farage on and off for 10 years.
When all's said and done about his standing in Clacton, milkshake incident etc, he remains at the end of the day one of the most repugnant shameless liars in UK history.
Some of his standout lesser-known lies I've compiled FTR 🧵

One of the most visited pages on my website is advice on what to buy to get started in sound design on a limited budget. Here’s my advice and as it t’is the season for consumerism, some links to things to buy!
Hey @The_Globe - what's up with the kids sized hot drinks??? Talk about shrinkflation!
Indescribably awful.

I'm spying on a lady's spreadsheets on the train. There are an unbelievable amount of tabs and tables and linked files and crazy keys and pop-ups. Intangible fixed assets and all the rest...
