Yesterday my wife spent 15 min aggressively arguing for a refund in a shop despite it being over 30 days since purchase and I backed her up like a true man by hanging back and pretending to read the ingredients on a packet on mints
I miss old school anti-vaxxers who thought you got a disability from vaccines rather than these new ones who think you get a copy of Windows 95 injected into your blood
I set up a What’s App Group for both mine and my wife’s parents to see photos of their grandson and my dad has completely derailed it by not knowing what a persimmon is 😂
This is why I always order Chinese food. Standard issue Tupperware or cardboard boxes. I could be in Romania or I could be in Rotherham. I’m a spring roll eating ghost.
Fun fact: my school used to have Americans come in and teach for year on an exchange. One history teacher was so creepily American in the way he looked and behaved we nicknamed him “The All American Hero” turns out that man was Senator Hawley. 😂😂 We called this 20 yrs ago
I think worse than full anti-vaxxers are the, "I'm gonna wait a couple of months" crew. Like all our heads are going to swell up on the 59th day, post jab
Flew to the U.K. yesterday after 2 years away and first thing that happened when we landed is the police came onboard to arrest a man for being shitfaced and shouting at the staff mid air. It’s good to be back.
People losing their shit when they can’t get into a supermarket without a mask clearly never queued up for an hour outside Putney Fez Club only to be denied entry for wearing a pair of blue Converse
Jokes gonna be on all of us when Will Smith goes up to accept his award and whips out a little pen, presses a button and erases our memories of everything that happened in the last hour.
I miss the good old days when instead of comedians slagging each other off online we used to be more civil and do it behind each other’s backs via What’s App
The ironic thing about this tweet is I’ve now become a lightening rod for the frustrations of disgruntled retail workers regarding my wife’s behaviour in the comments. Something I was actively trying to avoid

We just got one today, already worried it’ll be used once then back in the cupboard: serious worktop real estate it takes up. It must do some wizard based antics to demand reuse
Watching my parents reply on What’s App is one of the most painful things on earth
Typing…pause…typing…pause…typing….typing….pause…typing…typing…………………typing……………….
“I’ll see you then”
Just remembered in the before times when I got in an Uber which was a brand new Tesla. The driver said he did Uber one day a week purely to show people how cool his car was
New episode of the podcast is out with amazing and awesome next door neighbour
@ihatejoelkim
. We get deep into being adopted, educating yourself and mourning. Go watch his movie Fire Island next week! Pod link in bio.
Currently in that domestic purgatory where my other half has gone to bed before me. So I’m watching the TV on volume level 3, eating a soft noiseless banana too terrified to flush the toilet in case I wake them up
I think this is my proudest clip of my career. it's
@elisjames
who really understand the game of football making me sound like peak Pirlo. Nothing to do with the subject matter of the podcast. But too exciting not to share. Full pod in my bio.
So happy I got to chat to my old pal
@elisjames
where we discussed not being totally sure if your dad has said I love you + playing football of course. Pod link in bio!

I feel seen! I could give a 10 entry thread with all the details such as it being in a pharmacy in America that overcharged her by 35 dollars for a drug as they put put her wrong insurance details in but retail Twitter seems very angry and I think they need to vent
Dan is so funny and when he once stayed at mine he showered right before bed and also stripped the sheets off the spare bed post sleeping. Elite comedian and house guest
So chuffed to be announcing my first nationwide stand-up tour. TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW! Please give this a retweet. It's going to be something special. 🧡
Yes sex is good, but have you ever been on a 10 person Zoom, when one person has to leave early? Gallery mode goes from an unsightly mess to a perfect 3 x 3 formation and everything suddenly feels right with the world.
Due to split locations we did my family Christmas yesterday. We told dad it was present time. Him “I’m just popping out” (clearly he’d forgotten). My mum, sister & wife got the same bracelet & obv he didn’t want to go to a second shop so I got a snow globe & lavender room spray
Awful to hear about Gareth Richards passing. Like many he started stand up when I did & was so funny and quirky from the get go. What a talent & what a man. Truly one of the kindest, most gentle and sweetest people you're ever likely to meet. My love & thoughts with his family
My parents had a new fridge delivered today. In order, things my dad asked the delivery men:
1. What do you think about Ghislaine Maxwell?
2. What brand is the fridge?
3. How many fridges did you deliver this week?
4. Is tomorrow New Year’s Eve?
5. How does the fridge work?
I just looked over my wife’s shoulder and accidentally saw today’s Wordle answer and I honestly would have rather caught her sending a photo of her boobs to a random guy
The people worried about the vaccine microchipping us to know our every move sure do spend a lot of time on social media letting everyone know about their every move
Pumped to be rom-comming it up in the writers’ room for this! I don’t do earnest very well but I’m genuinely loving working with so many talented people (inc. writing partner and better half

Watching The Tourist with my parents. My dad fast asleep. A scorpion came on screen. I asked my mum if a scorpion could actually kill a man? My dad woke up by shouting “yes” then went back to sleep
Joined my mum for the last 5 minutes of Emmerdale for the first time. I pointed at a lady and said what’s her storyline?
mum: I don’t trust her
Me: why not?
Mum: she’s murdered at least 3 people
Me: fair enough
I called my parents yesterday for a catch up. I realised I’d done nothing of note the last week and neither had they. So after 4 minutes of scrabbling around for something to talk my dad said “hopefully one of us does something soon” and hung up.
I kept losing my boxer shorts at my parents’ and today discovered it’s because my dad was putting them in my mum’s underwear draw as he couldn’t conceive they were big enough to fit another man
