Well, I'm not sure what algorithms you've been seeing these past few days, but aren't you a lovely bunch! 🥰
A thread ... enjoy!
First of all, thank you to everyone who's reached out recently asking how you can support creative #freelancers like me with everything we've been doing in Lockdown. It will come as no surprise to hear it's been a crap year, but there have been moments of light that have helped.

Joke Thread:
I can't for the life of me work out why it's safe to reopen gyms, but live comedy is still considered dangerous?!?
So here are some jokes about gyms & exercise I wish I was allowed to tell in a live comedy club!
#SaveLiveComedy
On my first day at the gym I was given a gun and sent to shoot Nazis in the woods. Not how I'd imagined Resistance Training.

I miss everything about being a #comedian, both on and off stage.
I’ll list some below but as we ask @OliverDowden to #SaveLiveComedy, as a comic or a punter, what do you miss about #LiveComedy?
I miss not knowing how a gig will go beforehands and then standing on stage telling jokes to a room that will judge a punchline in the moment & not based on any knowledge of how it’s been received before. I miss reading the room and editing as I go to get the best of a set.
A lot has happened since lockdown, so perhaps you'd be so generous as to let me spill the beans on everything I've been up to over a coffee:

I've been slowly updating and adding new content to my YouTube comedy channel. It would be great to get a few more subscribers on there to help unlock some of the features only available to the super popular.
Before I started comedy I taught #SexEducation, going into schools teaching about relationships, boundaries, puberty, that kind of thing.
When I say "going into schools", I was invited. I didn't just stand in the playground with a banana & a condom talking to kids about sex!
Hearing this, someone recently asked, "if you catch #CoronaVirus from a lover does that make it an STI?"
I said "no". Banging your head during sex wouldn’t mean a headache was an STI...actually in some relationships a headache could really be considered a form of contraception!

I know, "it's joke, it's just a joke", but the problem is, with something as serious as antisemitism, how do we know when it's not a joke?
A thread...
Today we had another pretty full room for Jew-O-Rama, which is the other show I'm doing alongside "Who's the Daddy Pig?"
