Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

Verrrry close to total meltdown. Got scam messages through what appears to be a booking dot com hack. There is nowhere on their site to report this. There is no number. No message service. Nothing. And they say CONTACT US URGENTLY if this happens. About to go full Dreyfus. Anyone?

I’m not for purity tests but lads, if you’re not even nominally listening to your leftie environmentalist anti-genocide Jewish friends on the reasons this Zionism is racism motion is so janky, you might want to ask yourself some difficult questions.

If you can share this, please do. On any platform. This man is dangerous and still offending via his online platforms.

Brand’s trial date approaches, so we won’t comment on that, but I wrote this behind-the-scenes piece when the original story broke if you want to understand how the investigation unfolded.

Film review: Sense and Sensibility
I wanted to love it but through no fault of their own, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esme Creed-Miles are in completely different films in this shallow, strangely dull Austen remake.

Replacing television and film with Whatever All This Is has gone so well. The bright future that the disrupters came up with (a version of having a very big hard drive of indifferent content you can’t navigate and don’t value) has worked about as well as it did for music. We’re all so much poorer.
