One last time in London before Edinburgh Fringe. I aim to define the formula for the perfect petty act with case studies from Ea Nasir through to Binface. For anyone who loves Radio 4, pub trivia, pop culture and anything 50 cent has ever done. It’s not like other lectures, it’s a cool lecture.
Cardiff! Excited to be doing this home town run out of my comedy lecture on the history and cultural significance of pettiness - complete with charts. Joined by @20thcenturymarc.marcburrows.co.uk sharing his 10 best songs of all time & the life he lived around them. Next Thursday! Porters!
Had to miss my work in progress show tonight in London so Charlotte assembled an audience for me so I could still practice. Hoping Scrooge McDuck is going to be generous with the collection bucket at the end. I am very lucky.
I thought a show with a whiteboard, clipboard and blu tac wasn’t enough to manage to I have gone ahead and added slides and singing. Playing life on ‘hard’ mode since 1984.
He hosted an awards show 11 years ago and when I somehow got one, I - very coolly - shouted in his face ‘oh my god I f*cking won, Jeremy’ and he was very good about it. I was also wearing ice skater tights for no reason at all. Regrettable behaviour all round.
I am watching Jeremy Vine and I feel like I have taken drugs. Is it always like this?
Wednesday! London! Doing a bargain double bill with @watsoncomedian.bsky.social My comedy lecture presenting the formula for the perfect petty act & Mark hopefully doing something different as would be awkward if we are both doing the same. New material! Laughs! Famous comedian! I am also there!
Last few tickets left for #brighton for any petty enthusiasts who want to see a formula for the perfect petty act in Ted talk format with a lot of history & pop culture examples. If it sells out, I will do the proper ending that I was saving for fringe. But you cannot tell ANYONE. Our secret, ok?
If you have not looked at the origin of Puma versus Adidas, have I got a story for you. Research for Chief Petty Officer - I only have an hour but SO MUCH to fit in. London on 13th May, a spacious amount of tickets, worry people aren’t believing my claims @watsoncomedian.bsky.social is also there
This manta, from the ever fabulous Joanna Lumley, is something I have tried to live by ever since I read it. Just in case anyone needs it.
But Vix, I live in Cardiff. Why is this just in England? SURPRISE! 🏴 Hometown show at the iconic Porters.
Thinking, damn I want to see this show but I live in London? Good News! I am doing it in London too. With @watsoncomedian.bsky.social no less, a promising up and coming young comedian. Great value this - buy one, get one free Britcom.
Do you live in Brighton? Would you like to see a show where a queer girl reveals her special interest in pettiness by unveiling a ‘scientific’ scale to measure petty acts on using pop culture and historic examples? Coming to Brighton Fringe next month! Prepare to meet your Chief Petty Officer!
The follow up to ‘It’s My Party (and I’ll cry if I want to) as a diss track, and other curiosities I have curated in my bid to define the formula for the perfect petty act. #ChiefPettyOfficer is coming to Lancaster Comedy Festival for one day only tomorrow. Tell your friends. Please.
You might be thinking? But noooo I live in Lancaster / Sheffield / Chippenham / London / Leeds / Barry Island! Good news! Chief Petty Officer is coming to your town. What do all these things have in common? Why is this song so catchy? We’ll cover it all.
Know someone petty who lives in Brighton? Are YOU someone petty who lives in Brighton? Comedy lecture on the history of petty in pop culture introducing my ‘scientific’ theory on how to achieve peak petty as part of @brightonfringe.bsky.social ‘Chief Petty Officer 23rd May #comedy #brighton #petty
Very much looking forward to collaborating with my favourite comedian / writer / private investigator. Leah Vicks & Hugh Flounder @watsoncomedian.bsky.social present new material - including, but not limited to, my study on history and cultural significance of pettiness (with a graph & clipboard)
My cat tried to pack one of his toys in my laptop bag. He is such a thoughtful little gentleman.
Why is this character on the mango chutney lid? What is he? Is he a sausage? Very different aesthetic to rest of the jar - did someone draw him on???
I was convinced this was an ad for swinging. And it was just boring old holidays. Catfished.
TW weight loss. I’ll be honest, the sheer volume of noise on skinny being the new (old) normal, have brought a dark past mindset back to the surface, and I am bullying myself A LOT at the moment. That said, occasionally pics like this get taken and I think maybe thin isn’t the only route available
We are excited to try the souffel. Lack of accent suggests this is how it is pronounced
It is a joy and a privilege to get to be part of Knightmare Live - I loved this show so much as a kid. Thank you Leicester.
No bigger Emperors new clothes feeling than selling tickets for a work in progress - please promise me you can all SEE the show, and that it is the best show you have ever seen. And also that you like my hat.
