I do stuff in comedy but don't let it define me. I record a semi-regular radio show called the Records Retrieval Service that I have let define me. I'm yet to be picked up by ANY UK radio station.

Holy mother. The comic I made with a bunch of incredible creatives has been nominated for a @ringoawards.bsky.social

It’s the final day to vote in the @ringoawards.bsky.social. I’ve been doing my best to slowly accumulate votes for HTSAA in Best Humour Comic. If you’re happy to give me your vote I’d be incredibly thankful. I don’t have huge expectations but a nom would be huge for a book like mine ringoawards.com

I wrote and self published my first comic this year with the help of some insanely talented artists. Issue 2 in the pipeline

Got a lovely mention in Stewart Lee’s Cultural Year. Obviously exceptionally pleasing to have someone like Stewart like your work. See if you like it too here widdicomics.co.uk

An excerpt from Stewart Lee’s January mail out that lists How to Survive and Affair amongst the comics Stewart has read this year and also kindly giving five stars which isn’t a review but does mean that in that moment he liked it

Since when did the Crocodile become sarcastic? Astonishing behaviour from the “Radio” Times

Hello. If all goes to plan I will be publishing issue 1 of my debut comic on July 19th aka #smallpressday. I’ve worked with incredibly talented artists on it and I can’t wait to get it out into the world. As my supportive friend put it “even if it’s shit, publishing a comic is bucket list stuff”

A Tom Humberstone illustration of me sat driving a car. I look worried for some reason. Find out why on July 19th

An Emily McGovern drawing of me sat in a gplan chair with my dog on my lap. The caption reads “god I loved that stupid dog”

A Tom Crowley illustration of me reading my phone. Thoughts are popping above my head. I wonder why? It could be to do with July 19th

A Lily O’Farrell illustration of an angelic gerbil rising up to heaven on the leaflet for Shady Shrubs Crematorium. The caption reads “It turns out you have options when you get your pet put down”. Find out what options on July 19th
