The funniest movie ever made…
…is Airplane! On joke-count alone it kicks every other movie right in penis, and the jokes themselves are amazing. I’ve laughed at the drinking problem one for – I’m not kidding – years.

Stuart Brown and Louis CK
OK I’m thoroughly wiped out after a week of partying in Berlin and a pretty colossal wedding, so no inciteful bons mots today; instead just a couple of videos until I’ve had about 15 hours sleep and caught up on my emails. First up, here’s the American psychiatrist Stuart Brown talking about the importance of [...]

Abandoman
Good Lord Almighty! Last night I think I saw one of the best comedy gigs of my entire life! Abandoman were the act. They’re an improv hip-hop comedy group with Rob Broderick as the rapper. Not an obvious rapping sort: a white, smartly dressed Irish bloke, but by heavens he was good; genuinely one of [...]

Two quick things: 1) Well done to Caitlin Moran in the Times this week for her article celebrating play. Bafflingly the headline’s something about buttocks on a skirting board, and the reference was lost on me. But nonetheless it was good to see someone championing the right to toboggan on a riot shield, and inject [...]
