Fictional legend Ed Reardon (aka living legend Christopher Douglas) on my latest book: “Superb! I used page 60 of The Best Ladled Pans of Rice & Penne as a mask on my last visit to Sainsbury’s reduced-for-quick-sale aisle & I still feel absolutely fine.”

This year’s fest has a top line-up.
If you can, go see Richard… an hilarious, engaging speaker - and all round great guy - with many anecdotes that guarantee belly laughs.
I’m also sure he’s the only performer to have survived by living off Alan Davies’ birthday cake
Doing a comedy show for @book_boston 23 Sept. Lots about growing up in Boston, writing humour books, scripting Hollywood movies + BBC comedies, even tips on how to write comedy. Thankfully it'll be funnier than this tweet! @standardgemma @DuncanBrowne_

Excited Paul Hudson is at @book_boston In Roman times so called weatherists forecasted weather by observing the behaviour of a special chicken. Obviously 2000 years later we use satellite technology. But hopefully Paul will bring his chicken to show the audience. @looknorthBBC

A football upset…this was what happened when @bostonunited fan Noá found out her favourite player, @HullCity loanee @billychadwick_ might not be at her club forever.
It turns into big smiles though- full story on @looknorthBBC 6:30pm #bufc #hcafc
This was my 5y/o daughters reaction to finding out her favourite player is only with us on loan. Don’t leave us Billy! #billysbiggestfan @bostonunited @billychadwick_ @BBCMOTD
Finally I fufil a boyhood dream of performing at Boston United's football ground. Albeit sensibly indoors with the heating on (hey, I'm older now). I'm speaking at Boston @u3a_UK on 18 April at Jakemans Stadium.

(un)fairly sure local treasure @peter_levy said "sex" instead of "text" before throwing to @KeeleyDonovan on @looknorthBBC tonight. Don't worry Peter, sometimes I say the wrong Freuds too.
My 'Oxford Z-A' comedy/history show UK tour* continues at Deddington on Thur 19th Jan. (*OK, so it's just 2 dates)

Performing my comedy/history show 'Oxford Z-A' at Kennington Methodist Hall, Upper Road, Kennington OX1 5LR on 16th Jan 7.45pm. Admission £2.50 - which, frankly, is insultingly low! 🙂"Hilarious" - Oxford Times "60 minutes long" - Skegness Standard
Twitter bots inform me that "Girls who are incredibly hot, hot, hot want to meet me!!" If that's the case today, I wouldn't want their heating bills.
Having almost SOLD OUT Bloxham Village History Club last month (no one needs to know the capacity was only about 75), I'm reprising my comedy show 'Z-A of Oxford' at Weston-on-the-Green Village Hall, 16th Nov. 7.30pm.
Friend on Irish cycling holiday just texted to say he could ride past the Father Ted house later. My reply? Ah, go on. Ah, go on. Ah, go on. Ah, go on.
Looking forward to seeing @RebeccaOdd fiddling (hey, in a good way) with @Liams_Odd_Foxes at @foodiesfestival Oxford tomorrow. But should I wait for 2 hours afterwards to see Natalie Imbruglia? Frankly I'm torn.
A rare example of Rain Stops Play in a football match. Last night’s first ever meeting between Banbury Utd (founded in 1931 as the works team of a corset factory!) & Boston Utd was delayed by 15 mins due to biblical rain in Oxfordshire. #BUFCx2
I’m fed up with the perception of Oxford as a city determined to live in the past. In other news, here’s a photo I took outside the Exam Schools last night. #UsualOxfordParkingProblems
