The second issue of Dirty Bristow magazine features a piece I wrote entitled Lennon’s Guide to the Mythical Fauna of the English Midlands.

I’ve been neglecting my blog as of late due to preparations for this week’s Rock ‘n’ Relativity Holiday Conspiracy comedy show. A man should never neglect his blog, so here’s a little something to make it feel loved again. It’s a homage to the legendary comics artist Jack Kirby I did to accompany an article [...]
Part of this year’s Birmingham Comedy Festival, Rock ‘n’ Relativity Holiday Conspiracy from Half-a-Dog Comedy is “an insight into the mind of a man whose life has become ruled by Internet conspiracies.” If a typical comedy show can be described as a mixtape, then this – dare I say it – is a concept album, [...]
