The worst thing about ITV losing £1m putting out the most significant TV hit of the year ‘Mr Bates Vs The Post Office’ is that the people who own the ad sales tracking software won’t tell them how this is even possible, and are insisting they pay it all back from their savings.

I’ll be up at Hay, talking about Be Funny Or Die… see you there if you’re going to be there…

Fantastic sold-out Rock'n'Rollbookclub 📚 event Walthamstow Trades Hall last night to launch Joel Morris's #BeFunnyorDie Unbound. Such an entertaining and engrossing talk with Joel and Ben Willbond ( #Ghosts ) making a great comic duo. Big 🙏🏼🙏🏼Mark Hart and Walthamstones for making it happen.

All hail the almighty Clown triangles!!! 🤡 Joel Morris Ben Willbond

HUGE THANKS to Joel Morris and Ben Willbond for a fascinating delve into the workings of comedy. Big up the Unbound crew and everyone who came along to the Walthamstow Trades Hall for an exceptional launch event for BE FUNNY OR DIE - HOW COMEDY WORKS AND WHY IT MATTERS 📕 🎭 🤡

THANKS to everyone who came along to the Be Funny Or Die book talk and signing last night (hosted by the wonderful Ben Willbond). We had an absolute blast, and the audience questions were bright, incisive and cool. You were fantastic. It was proper fun…

Voyager is alive again! Just one more middle aged dude wandering the universe aimlessly with a cool 70s vinyl collection.

Doing the book chat with one of the best in the biz… COME ALONG!

Last time we played an acoustic show at Cecil Sharp House, we blew the speaker limiters with our relentless block drone harmonies.

Looking forward to testing them again…

Maximum wall-of-folk.

May 7th, London… Very excited.

I’m no comedian (as anyone who’s read my more “amusing” tweets will attest) but I’m really enjoying this audiobook by Joel Morris about the craft of comedy writing. Full of funny gags and insight about story rhythm that would benefit any writer really. And it’s great company! 🤡

This is tomorrow night in Walthamstow with Joel Morris & Ben Willbond and it will be an absolute hoot and also comedy nerd heaven. Handful of tickets left if you’re quick. eventbrite.com/e/be-funny-or-…

Joel Morris Finally started on BFOD. Already mindblown: an audience doesn’t care about your jokes, they want to know about you and make up their own jokes about you and feel satisfied they were right (paraphrased).

This is GLORIOUS.

The greatest podcast of all time is coming to The End.

This! Next week… Come if you can…
