Mrs Doubtfire the Musical begins its UK tour this evening in Birmingham. Here I am recalling all that Brecht and Stanislavski I studied in my drama degree.

Not affordable.

It takes a special kind of idiot to light a barbecue on the tinderbox that is Clapham Common right now.

Mrs O’F defacing the posh magazine in this hotel lounge… “Go to your local state school, they are very good.”

Not sure this is actually a news story BBC. I think it's just called 'marriage'.

And so it ends… 😥

On my way to Manchester to see the last performance of Something Rotten! I always knew British audiences would love this show, but the reviews and ecstatic reception has exceeded all expectations! Huge thanks to our amazing cast - and fingers crossed for a West End transfer.

New presenter for the Money Show Live?

When the football was postponed last night, I decided to go to bed and watch the whole thing in the morning without finding out the result. Impossible.

Sad news about the great Penelope Keith. She had that rarest of talents, making us love the antagonist. (More from me on her on BBC Radio 4's The World at One)

Come and see Something Rotten in Manchester. It is nothing like any of these shows.

Tonight is opening night of Something Rotten! at the Manchester Opera House. Originally on Broadway between 2015 and 2017, it’s taken us a long time to get this musical comedy to the UK. I know I would say this because I co-wrote it - but I think it’s bloody great!

Look out for that bar chart at the next election - “Only Liberal Democrat’s can win here…”

Here we go - first preview! (Got my tap shoes with me, in case anyone in the cast has to go off.)

Something Rotten tech is finally over - and our wonderful leading man Jason Manford organised a coffee truck and cakes for everyone…

I am in Manchester for the dress rehearsal of Something Rotten! Previews begin on Tuesday, come and see it, it is so much better than that other thing you saw...

Could be a good sign for Scotland.

My American co-writers both have swimming pools in their gardens Now I can finally look them in the eye.

I was just playing my usual Tuesday night football game inside the Arsenal complex. Surprising response to my late equaliser

I asked Babs if she could see a way forward for the Labour Party.

I’ve actually trained Babs to growl at Reform voters… #dogsatpollingstations

First day of rehearsals for Something Rotten! (Opens at Manchester Opera House next month…)

"ANOTHER BEER OLDER" - I dream of writing jokes like that.

Today I am as old as that Beatles song about being really old.

Quiz question in today's Times happens to be on my specialised subject.

Longest VAR decision ever...

Just wait till they find out the otter's pronouns.

For this World Book Day, Babs has come as Birnham Wood.

I am offering Babs to help clean up politics.
