As the unproductive one in the family, I have nothing to plug in this new space so instead, please buy my very funny sister, Jo Middleton’s new book. It momentarily rose above King Richard Osman’s in β€˜best sellers of crime & mystery graphic novels’ so there: www.amazon.co.uk/Happy-Bloody...

Fourteen solid hours of not getting threatened with sexual assault or into a discussion on why β€œwomen aren’t funny” is delightful. Even the rainbow bookshelves remain unscathed.

Also, reseaoned is a word now

Bless you! Actual comedy writer might be a stretch, a list of "sorry, it's great but going with something else" is more accurate. BUT if there are any producers out there wanting a new, only slightly jaded, writer of moderately dark/satirical/small amount of time travel comedy then I am your woman.

Sorry for the matching post, wasn't intentional - although you had higher expectations at least!

OK, this one might provoke rage. No defence for my book organisational system other than pretty colours. Accept it as best you can.

Hoping this might be the social media home for liberal, female comedians minus the sprinkling of rape threats - a girl can dream right?
