When I'm not working in a digital job that my mum doesn't understand, I'm writing sketches and jokes for BBC radio programmes. The spare ones (and a bit of extra waffle) ends up on here. Hope you enjoy!
Oh, and if you like video, here's a new creation called 'the Donkey of News' along a similiar theme, but with a Donkey.

In this episode we look at amusing election alternatives and introduce you to 'the Donkey of News' - a visual alternative to provide you with a few more newsy jokes on YouTube. There's plenty of jokes in this podcast episode too.
In March I'll be attending the BCG London comedy conference, If you're a comedy writer or actor looking for an industry event, maybe see you there.
I mentioned Alice Fraser towards the end of the episode, so now you have a link to her works too.

This episode was mashed together with the magic of Audacity audio editing software, along with a giant lake of tea and a mountain of moderately good biscuits. The quest for additional noises was answered by Pond5 and Uppbeat.io including the theme music from allgoodfolks. I also used Pixabay, so thanks to them too.
