Still an epsilon number of seats left for tomorrow night's Big London Show which don't have the view blocked by a safety rail.

That said: I promise to move around the stage so much that no one rail can block me for long. lwtheatres.co.uk/whats-on/mat...

A seating plan with very few available seats.

If you’re watching the Women’s Rugby World Cup quarterfinals on the BBC: yes, that was me crunching some numbers! (Just after 12:30.)

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.

This is in Melbourne by the way. Probably should have mentioned that. That’s the kind of slick promo which sold us out in the first place.

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

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”.
