I first saw Sean Lock live at a Bristol comedy club in mid 90s and remember laughing so hard my stomach actually ached. RIP to an hilarious man taken far too soon.
So very sad to hear of Ewen MacIntosh’s passing. A lovely, uniquely funny man who played Keith in The Office. So hilarious when we asked him to improv a voicemail message that we wrote more dialogue for him, and he stole every scene he was in. A total one-off. A tragic loss. RIP
A message to everyone nominated for a Golden Globe tonight: good luck, but please remember it’s the work that counts, not the awards. Yours - two time Golden Globe winner Stephen Merchant
I know what you’re thinking: “If only somebody would make a film about a family of wrestlers from Norwich.” Good news! Me and

have. Here's the UK trailer.
I loved being a guest on Steve Wright’s show - and being a listener even more. No matter what was happening in real life, his programme was an oasis of breeziness and good humour. RIP to a brilliant broadcaster
I play serial killer Stephen Port in Four Lives, which begins tonight at 9pm on

Thanks for all the birthday wishes guys. Lockdown means I’m forced to stay home on my birthday - unlike normally, when I choose to stay home on my birthday

In 2012 I watched a documentary about a young, unknown British female pro wrestler & her wonderfully crazy family. I loved it!
It was a story that my

Twitter can be a mean ol’ place so thanks for all your kind words about episode one of The Outlaws. The show is a real labour of love for me, so your appreciation is appreciated. Episode Two also now up on

As the new Mission: Impossible movie hits our screens, flashback to Karl’s own movie idea, which somehow incorporated M:I 7. If you’re confused don’t worry – so was he.
