October 2014.

The link won't work, but I still recommend the film:

Hong Tong is the Dreddverse's name for Hong Kong:

BBC Reporter reporting on the situation in Hong Kong, accidentally referred to it as Hong Tong #JudgeDredd

This is excellent. Media outlets need to learn from this and stop helping ISIS. pic.twitter.com/x2FFpIkMsH

We still want a Dredd sequel:

The Oxford company that owns this picture withdrew copyright permission in a “policy decision”. So let's tweet it. pic.twitter.com/U6RiF3N1mP

My thirty-third birthday inspired this quote from Pulp's Dishes:

A man told me to beware of 33. He said "It was not an easy time for me" But I'll get through even though I've got no miracles to show you

And this swipe at David Cameron:

Apparently I share my birthday with @brianblessed, @ScottBakula & @David_Cameron. So a very happy Birthday to @brianblessed and @ScottBakula

I still cannot believe Channel 4 was so short-sighted:

#Utopia cancelled?! A short-sighted @Channel4 kills its golden goose in favour of Skins knockoffs. https://t.co/nZCmytz9gJ #BringBackUtopia

Newsrevued

I had a couple of comedy sketches accepted into the most recent run of Newsrevue, the world's longest running live comedy show. The show resides at the Canal Café Theatre every Thursday to Sunday and is a topical and satirical sketch show. The last run was directed by Mark Collier and starred Naomi Bullock, Rachael Owens, Chazz Redhead and Ben Vivian-Jones.

I was lucky enough to see the show on Friday and it was fantastic. I'm enormously grateful to all concerned.

I don't know if either of my sketches will remain in the show for the next run, but I'm very pleased to have had them accepted and, more importantly, I'm determined to write some more.
