Gimme Some Sugar
I treat female-only gatherings with the same enthusiasm as a funeral. Especially when the females are highly dolled up with dresses and are usually doing something with arts and crafts. I’m not girly, I’m not artsy, and when you put me in a room with women who ARE, I stick out like a sore thumb.

On
So, they sat around a table with condensation on it, smoking and joking. The laughter ricocheted off the walls and sounded like bursts from trumpets. Their shirts remained damp; they toweled off from the blazing heat. It didn’t matter. The sweat congregated at their temples, their foreheads, their armpits. The smell of liquor permeated the air and almost made it hotter.

My Favourite Comedy Albums
Does anyone remember the comedy album? Most of you have probably grown up with online specials of your favourite comedians, or at least seen a few sketches and videos on YouTube of standup comics. But maybe I should be careful here. For every Taylor Tomlinson, there are hundreds and maybe just thousands of other comedians who never get the exposure or luck they need to build a career. We have too many options out there for entertainment and one platform is not enough.

Five Funny Facebook Friends
Comedy At The Stand in Newcastle Well, actually it’s six but fancied a fairly alliterative title. These are all comedians I have seen at the Stand in Newcastle (and other places) and to be quite honest, I enjoy watching them a lot more than most of the people you see on television, but maybe it's because they actually talk to me. I am just gonna say a little about them and where I first saw them.

Ironies That Define Our Time
Some truths can only be told through irony, because people today will tolerate humor long before they tolerate conviction. We live in an era where satire feels redundant because the world itself has become a parody of wisdom. Every contradiction, every absurdity, is defended as progress.

The Age Gap in Equity: Why Toddlers Deserve a Seat on the School Board (Obviously)
There is a glaring underrepresentation of infants, toddlers, and young children on school boards and in government. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies are clearly ageist, discriminating against these groups and preventing them from representing themselves. Millions of children are affected by decisions made without anyone who “looks or sounds like them” at the decision-making table.

There’s something special about Ayo Edebiri that people remember. Maybe it’s her quiet confidence, her perfect timing in comedy, or the way she makes you feel like you know her ,even if you’ve only seen her on screen.

My Epic Fail at Yoga Class
Introduction: The Myth of My Flexibility I had always believed yoga was simple. Peaceful breathing, soft music, a few stretches — how hard could it be? Friends swore it changed their lives, improved their posture, and helped them “find inner balance.” I wanted all that. What I didn’t expect was to find myself becoming the accidental comedy act of the entire class.

How I Accidentally Became the Office Meme
Introduction: The Day My Dignity Took a Coffee Break They say every office has “that person” — the one who becomes the story everyone retells at lunch. I never thought I’d be that person. I liked blending in, keeping my head down, and letting others be the subject of harmless gossip. But fate had other plans, and it all began with a single, innocent cup of coffee…
