Nothing focuses the mind to finish writing a show like already being a “pick of best stand up”. Minimal pressure then. https://www.midlothianview.com/news/our-picks-of-the-best-stand-up-at-the-edinburgh-festival-fringe-2025

Sorry I stole someone’s sharpie! An audience member at Wednesday’s show brought it for me to sign their calculator and were too polite to say anything when I absentmindedly put it in my pocket. It’s mine now.

We thought we’d sold out but the fine people at The Capitol in Melbourne managed to find 60 extra chairs somewhere. Now on sale. So if you want to see the show tomorrow: you’re in luck! https://www.comedyfestival.com.au/browse-shows/nine-lessons-for-melbourne-with-matt-parker/

I don’t understand how not doing this is even an option, assuming trucks follow classical physics.
Or maybe that is the problem and the sign was too small for “trucks - despite the name, please don’t quantum tunnel through the tunnel”.
