AI GUY
My new single 'AI Guy' is out NOW on streaming services, such as Spotify HERE:

It's about those annoying people who go on and on about AI without really knowing what it is but are still somehow in charge of foisting it on the rest of us, as explained in the video, HERE:

THE FUNNY COMICS FAN CLUB
Series two of the podcast is GO, with the latest episodes looking at Cheeky Weekly and Plug. It's available everywhere you can get podcasts from and also direct from us HERE:

No less an authority than The Guardian recently recommended it as one of their best podcasts of the week - not quite as good as Ben Stiller talking about telly, but basically just as good as Paula Radcliffe telling you how to run a marathon! Details HERE:

DOCTOR DOOM
This summer I'm going to be performing a new show called 'Data and Doctor Doom' that brings together comics, data and showing off - so pretty much all of my favourite things. More details are available on the new mini-site, HERE:

I'm currently applying for various festivals, so if you happen to run an event that's looking for someone to sing songs about random stratified sampling and/or why Doctor Doom is better than Batman, please let me know!

AND FINALLY
Later this month, I'm going to be performing a special gig for The Internet Archive. It's a private online event for the people who work there, but it'll be available shortly afterwards on their website for everyone else to watch - details will be on The Socials, notably Bluesky, HERE:

And that's the lot for this time - thanks for listening!

Cheers,

Mark
