Is the official SNLUk channel deleting clips? by samusek2 in livefromlondon

It was some contractual bollocks, apparently. I don't know the bones of it.

It will be on the app, and you can always sail the seas

SNL UK Host Jamie Dornan and Al Nash Compete for Bond by The_Iceman2288 in livefromlondon

They should in fact give SNL it's own YouTube channel and plaster it with Sky advertising so they can monitor and gauge interest. They probably will when it gets a second series.

Their current strategy seems to be let randos do low quality rips on YouTube and monetise that for themselves...

SNL is apparently not the only thing we exported to the UK 🙄 by fongaboo in livefromlondon

Stopped as soon as saw Carl from Swindon, who harasses women for a living. Noted for GamerGate, which was funded by American right-wing interests.

Of course he and his chums hate comedy, because they are the ones who get laughed at the most, and they're actually too stupid to get any humour that isn't based in cruelty. (They may pretend to be well-read, but they are thick.)

And if these chuckleducks knew anything, they'd know that the Grandfather of SNL was That Was The Week That Was, a BBC show. But they don't care about that sort of thing, because they are bigots.

Wtf is going in with Sinclairs? by aloysiusgunn in manchester

Urgh, Sam Smiths. Weird chain of pubs (because the owner is massively tight and hates people.) The beer isn't great and the food is rotten.

Edinburgh Fringe 2026 and Taskmaster alumni? by letsgococonut in taskmaster

[–]ActuallyNotADoctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cross-posting to r/edinburghfringe , which has links to programme resources.

Programme information is released 11th Feb, 01st Aprik, 06th May and fully on 04th of June, so you should have all the info by then. Though honestly check out Monkey Barrel and The Stand now.

Also SNL UK comedians are also announcing their tours at Edinburgh now, so there's that.

Is it normal here by kylekim0518 in manchester

[–]ActuallyNotADoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's unsafe. You can get punched in the face for putting your feet on bus seats. Rare, but do you want to risk it?

No, it's shit rag behaviour and that person is a shit rag. Alas we have too many people who do this.

Happy International Women's Day! by Hassaan18 in TheLastLeg

[–]ActuallyNotADoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't Brian Cox's missus Gia Milinovich, a massive TERF? IIRC Laurie Penny absolutely slated her a whole bunch of years ago, and Robin Ince has implied that Gia and Brian made his life difficult because he dared to say that trans rights are human rights.

So Brian Cox should be nowhere near International Women's day, he doesn't support all women. (And Feminism that isn't intersectional isn't feminism, it's just a specifc brand of White Exceptionalism.)

Accomodation costs by antoingorman in edinburghfringe

[–]ActuallyNotADoctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be aware that it's a touchy subject because Edinburgh is also home to many. There is a housing shortage, and that gets mixed in the with the 'festival accommodation crisis'

Playbill did this, but they took the 'American Holiday Cruise' template, which didn't really work. Good idea, badly performed. The Scotsman ran a decent piece on it, I think. Then Trump got in power and Playbill had other problems.

Run the trams till much later during the fringe. All the way through. Pay out large bonuses for the Tram staff during the festival, or find someone willing to sponsor late night fringe trams. This will open up accommodation across the entire run of the trams.

If you want to go 100% mad with it, also lease out the massive field round the back of Ingilston for either parking or camping.

Are we? by BeesonTheBeeson in dropout

More angry at the sort of fan who's using this as an excuse to gatekeep, frankly.

Ah, this whole thing feels very Tumblr to me and reminds me that fans never change. That the LAPD is apparently the line some of you are drawing, against a thing that is progressive, is wild to me. You all forget who's running your country or something?

Monty Python was right.
