Probably non PC but fuck it.
The Invisible Man has come out as TRANSparent.
His pronouns are Who/Where.

As a fully paid up member of the fat community I'm exercising my right to tell the next one.
A fat woman was getting lairy in the pub calling out people for calling her Luv and dear she said actually I'm non binary and find these terms offensive.
So I said what are your pronouns Wibble/Wobble ?

This month's favourite.
Someone upset the barman at my local pub.
He said he looked like a jug.
His face was a pitcher

Decent jokes are as rare as hens teeth nowadays.
Most of my humour these days are out of the mouth are Donald Trump

My favourite jokes are more clever than funny
Hyphen
Non-hyphen
That's, ironic.
If something is made of metal it's metalic
But something made of iron doesn't follow the same rules
That's Ironic

Will be populating this as the weeks get closer to my gigs
So muting my posts might be warranted

Opinions sought here with regards my stand up routine
Quite a lot of my material involves me talking about when I was grossly overweight.
Given I have lost over 5 stones I'm worried that although I am using self deprecating humour it might come across a offensive to fat people in the audience
Opinions for a recovering chocoholic who was addicted to chocohol (not a joke for the routine BTW) needed plesse

I think it can be fine as long as any overweight people in the audience aren't likely to perceive themselves as the butt of the joke.

Surely that would depend on the size of the butt 😊

Given that it's highly unlikely that anybody here would pay £25 quid to watch me perform stand-up/die on my arse. I want to share a original* (haven't stolen though maybe someone has used it) joke I intend to use.

..... Over the last year I have lost nearly 6 stone, so imagine, that's the equivalent of walking around with Warwick Davies on your back, now that was untenable!

This joke is very niche as you probably need to be over 50 to get it.
The real name for Swansea is Arthur Swanserelli.

So probably not for my gig.

Equally if Fonzie was so cool why did he hang out with such wankers

There must have been reruns, I thought it was on in the 70s

Random things keeping me awake.
I'm wondering if the guy who clears up the poo in my garden will work out we don't have any pets 😊
