tweetcomedyclub: and we're off @tiernandouieb is talking to people |
tweetcomedyclub: @tiernandouieb. Oops. The internet is flaky but it could work |
tweetcomedyclub: I think we're off properly. The internet seems to be working. Tiernan is talking to the crowd & trying to find out if they tweet. |
tweetcomedyclub: @btopia is it like that? she is here |
tweetcomedyclub: and @topcat29 |
tweetcomedyclub: we have no idea what we're doing. @Tiernandouieb is going to bring the first act on |
tweetcomedyclub: can you please make as much noise as possible at home & annoy your neighbours? cheers! |
tweetcomedyclub: it;s time for @jamiekilstein |
Jamie Kilstein: So the only short jokes I have are incredibly offensive...so I would like to start by saying, twitter, I am sorry. |
Jamie Kilstein: A bunch of republicans in America have been protesting saying that the founding fathers of america would want everyone to have guns, including retarded people. |
Jamie Kilstein: They were chanting, saying the "the founding fathers would be astonished! The founding fathers would be astonished!" |
Jamie Kilstein: You know what else would astonish the founding fathers? |
Jamie Kilstein: The internet & Women Voting. White people doing their own laundry. Those guys were assholes. Why do we look up to them? |
Jamie Kilstein: 'well i live my life by the principles of the founding fathers, so when I'm fucking my slave, on we like to call a lazy tuesday, blah blah tuberculosis.' |
Jamie Kilstein: Fuck those guys. The constitution was their one hit wonder. They are the vanilla ice of the political world. |
Jamie Kilstein: OK. That was my political joke. Now to win back the crowd with some relationship humor! |
Jamie Kilstein: I have a girlfriend. And my girlfriend only gets her period once a year. Which is awesome. The downside to that is we have to get A LOT of abortions. |
Jamie Kilstein: I tried that joke last month in texas and it didn't go well. I think because half the audience were white rich conservitive women and the other half....fetuses. |
Jamie Kilstein: Last one, this will get everyone on my side. I know this because I have taken many comedy workshops. Do you like impressions?! |
Jamie Kilstein: Great. This is my impression of God. Here we go. My impression of god.... |
Jamie Kilstein: I'm just kidding, there is no god. It's up to us to take care of each other. Back me up fellas! Goodnight! |

Rob Rouse: this is a song about my grandmother, she lost my grandad about 30 years ago, in woolworths, tragic he drowned in the pick and mix, but it's what he would have wanted.... |
Rob Rouse: This is a song to the tune of teenage dirtbag. |
Rob Rouse: its a song about my nan and her new boyfriend ken who is a dick |
Rob Rouse: Her name is irene She is 102 She doesn't clean Herself as well as she used to |
Rob Rouse: She's my dads mum And she's lots of fun But she doesn't know who I am She can't remember that I'm her grandson.... |
Rob Rouse: Cos she's just a senile old lady baby Comes round on Friday but thinks it's still tuesday Wayne Rooney would think she's his ideal lady... She gets confused... |

tweetcomedyclub: Next up, Jim Smallman |
Jim Smallman: Hello there, I'm Jim Smallman. I only normally use Twitter to complain or write bad jokes. |
Jim Smallman: Tonight instead of my usual storytelling I'll treat you to some dross and silliness. |
Jim Smallman: Do please enter my tattoo competition, by the way. Http://tinyurl.com/jimiswrong |
Jim Smallman: Right then. Rants first. |
Jim Smallman: My mum is daft. To illustrate she said the other day "if your gran was alive today, she'd be dead". |
Jim Smallman: Lady GaGa may think she's doing avant-garde art-pop, but my mum still thinks she's a slag. |
Jim Smallman: Don't balance out your 4x4 ownership with a novelty tyre cover. We all still think you're a fetid donkey penis. |
Jim Smallman: Surely the Veronicas are merely a 2009 version of TaTu, but with lesbianism replaced by incest? |
Jim Smallman: Now, awful jokes. I bought a pasta restaurant and a dog home the other day. You know me: in for the penne, in for the pound. |
Jim Smallman: What did Archimedes say when he discovered cystitis? Urethra. |
Jim Smallman: The hamburglar was a nazi sympathiser. Remember what he said: "Rommel Rommel Rommel Rommel". |
Jim Smallman: My dad has a hip problem. OCD. All the cool kids have it. |
Jim Smallman: My uncle had a heart attack at a Bavarian sausage factory. That's an unfortunate turn for the wurst. |
Jim Smallman: Me and my friend Danny McLoughlin have a game called #footballingwrestlers. Play along at home. |
Jim
Smallman: Basically take a footballer and cross him with a
wrestler. Examples: |
Jim
Smallman: Macho Man Robbie Savage. #footballingwrestlers Bad Ass Bryan Gunn #footballingwrestlers |
Jim
Smallman: "Stone Cold" Dean Austin #footballingwrestlers "Big" John Stead #footballingwrestlers |
Jim
Smallman: Prince Albert Riera #footballingwrestlers The Fabulous Gerd Muller #footballingwrestlers |
Jim
Smallman: Honest, my show is better than my twitter babbling.

Chris Cox: Hello. I'm Chris Cox a mind reader who can't read minds. |
Chris
Cox: I shall now attempt a trick I need a sexy cute volunteer with long beautiful legs and a hot little arse... Tiernan can help. |
Chris
Cox: I shall now attempt a trick Actually everyone can do this, all I want you to do is pick your right foot up off the floor. |
Chris
Cox: I shall now attempt a trick Then start moving it from the ankle round in a clockwise direction. Keep doing that. Now place your right hand out in front of you. |
Chris Cox: With your ankle still moving, write a big number 6 in the air with your arm. |
Chris
Cox: And now I'll make your foot change direction. Ta-Dahhhhhh |
tweetcomedyclub: @carldonnelly |
Carl Donnelly: when i was born, my parents were both very famous comedians - but they were killed by a dark lord comic, so i ended up having to grow up |
Carl Donnelly: in a school for gifted comics - and before i left, i killed the dark comic that killed my parents. and here i am. |
Carl Donnelly: i have terrible hand eye co ordination, but its fine as I have great foot ear co ordination |

tweetcomedyclub: KIOSK OF CHAMPIONS! |
Kiosk Of Champions: Stu: hi everyone, we're sketch double-act Kiosk of Champions. I'm Stuart Goldsmith. |
Kiosk Of Champions: Rich: and i'm Richard Sandling |
Kiosk Of Champions: Stu: I'm a professional stand-up comedian, and Richard is a... stand-up comedian. |
Kiosk Of Champions: Rich: I'm having a go. |
Kiosk Of Champions: Stu: the way the double-act works is very simple - I'm debonair, and he's Ryan Air. Twitter is actually the ideal forum for us to work together. |
Kiosk Of Champions: Rich: because we don't have to be in the same room. |
Kiosk Of Champions: Stu: you might not be aware that we have eschewed the traditional elements of sketch comedy, such as props, costumes... |
Kiosk Of Champions: rich: rehearsals |
Kiosk Of Champions: stu: but it's not coz we're lazy, it's coz we prefer to be like the special forces - we like to improvise with the limited resources available to us. |
Kiosk Of Champions: rich: yeah we're like the gurkhas. in that our contribution largely goes unrecognised. |
Kiosk Of Champions: stu: and as soon as this gig's finished we have to leave the country. |
Kiosk Of Champions: rich: too little, too late, Lumley! |
Kiosk Of Champions: stu: and now the moon sketch... |
Kiosk Of Champions: rich: which we're going to attempt in MIME. |
Kiosk Of Champions: both: *complicated mime of the moon landings, stu's is technically quite good, richard's is rubbish but "hilarious"* |
Kiosk Of Champions: both: *stu rehearses the "one small step" speech, about to walk down the steps onto the moon's surface* |
Kiosk Of Champions: both: *at the last moment Richard pushes past and runs down the steps, becoming the first man on the moon* |
Kiosk Of Champions: rich: MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN! |
Kiosk Of Champions: both: thanks very much, goodnight! |
tweetcomedyclub: @squat_betty aka Rich Sandling is bringing his Perfect Movie to the free fringe at 13:15 Also 15:45 at Pleasance Dome "@KioskChampions" |

Catie Wilkins: im not one of those comics that cant turn it off after a gig - sometimes i forget to turn it on before a gig. |
Catie Wilkins: Ive got a friend whos very influenced by the films he sees - his dad wont let him watch brokeback mountain |
Catie Wilkins: stand up is a slightly more legitmate way of getting attention than faking a panic attack |
Catie Wilkins: My mum thinks lord of the rings is about henry 8th - it was set "around his time" |
Catie Wilkins: i was doing some touristy stuff in edinburgh - i went to the ghost tour - i was disappointed - no ghosts. even the tour guide was alive |
Catie Wilkins: i think that penises are like buses - not because ive ever been in a situation when 2 come at once. I just realy like riding them. |
Catie Wilkins: and being filmed on CCTV |

tweetcomedyclub: Matt Kirshen is up now |
tweetcomedyclub: he is talking into my mouse |
Matt Kirshen: Hello people in the room, and people watching from the safety of the internet, well done, that's smart |
Matt Kirshen: we live in violent times, but not as violent as the press would have you believe - we're meant to be scared of children. |
Matt
Kirshen: Kids everywhere, running wild... but also,
apparently... they're too fat to run IT'S THE CHILDREN! THEY'RE WADDLING AMOK! |
Matt Kirshen: All kids supposedly, scary and fat. Here come the scary fat kids over the horizon. Stay close to their toes, they can't touch you |
Matt Kirshen: Apparently we live in a time with THE most unhealthy generation of children ever.... |
Matt Kirshen: ... There's been generations of children that had the plague |
Matt Kirshen: There's no historical perspective. What's less healthy? Computer games, or trench foot? |
Matt Kirshen: Dungeons And Dragons, or dungeons? |
Matt Kirshen: And dragons |
Matt Kirshen: -Where's Master William? -Why he's out in the castle courtyard with Tommy the Leper Boy, playing catch the rat amongst their own waste. |
Matt Kirshen: -Well, at least they're not eating sugary snacks..... They rot your teeth |
Matt Kirshen: -Your teeth are made of wood. |
Matt Kirshen: That's pretty much my time. It's been fun. Though you do know this gig brings us one step closer to the robots taking over. |
tweetcomedyclub: @mattkirshen is Shorter than Napoleon. That's also the name of his show - at The Pleasance Courtyard 22:20 each day |
tweetcomedyclub: And now, @lukewrightpoet |
Luke Wright: Hi my name is Luke. You probably all know someone like me. Someone who likes being the centre of attention. In fact there's probably some of them on the bill tonight. |
Luke Wright: The kind of people who think it's appropriate to quote Blackadder on a first date. This is my life. |
Luke Wright: this poem's called Luke’s Got A Joke |
Luke Wright: Imagine a pub on a bright afternoon, as warm autumn sunlight is cast through the room |
Luke Wright: a second pint started, the discourse fermented a large group of friends feeling vaguely contented. |
Luke Wright: But damn all this chit-chat for Luke is not in it he’s had no attention for nearly a minute his lips start to quiver, his head starts to dip He topples his pint as he stands and lets rip |
Luke Wright: Luke’s got a joke! Luke’s got a story! Look out for his humorous lines about Tories Luke’s got a viewpoint so perk up your ears He’s really quite droll when he’s had a few beers. |
Luke Wright: Let’s cut to a wake and some folksy guitar the subject of death trumping Luke’s repertoire which simply won’t do so he bellows the question: |
Luke Wright: Who here likes a good Austin Powers impression? and without an answer he’s poofed up his hair he’s stuck out his teeth and said yeah baby yeah |
Luke Wright: till everyone’s squirming and forcing a smile and regretting not breast-feeding Luke as a child. Luke’s got a joke! Luke’s got a punchline! |
Luke Wright: All of it fresh from the literary frontline Luke’s got opinions – from headlines to sport he’s not listening to you, ‘cause he’s planning retorts. |
Luke Wright: Let’s visit Chez Luke where ol’ Luke and his missus Are plying their guests with some coffee and biscuits and ‘course Luke holds court like some navel gazed teen |
Luke Wright: collects his applause and then exits the scene. A friend takes the chance to recount her weekend, though as her witty yarn starts to reach its crescendo |
Luke Wright: a noise from the doorway mean all turn to see dear Luke who says: I done asparagus wee! Luke’s got a joke! Luke’s got a gift. |
Luke Wright: for writing himself into those urban myths remember that weird thing, that one off, that fluke believe it or not that all happened to Luke. |
Luke Wright: He’s great at the voices, sit back, watch him act -- it’s like Eddie Izzard is here in the flat no Luke, no, you don’t come across as a twat |
Luke Wright: do your Mrs Doyle, that’s brilliant that. No Luke, don’t stop Luke, we are keen to hear more it’s better when you say “don’t mention the war” |
Luke Wright: forget that night out at the Comedy Store we’d rather hear Luke do some Blackadder 4. Luke’s got a joke! Luke’s got a gag! |
Luke Wright: Repeats near verbatim from bad style mags |
Luke Wright: Luke’s got a verdict, shut up, let him rave and then when he’s finished give him what he craves. |
Luke Wright: If you see some students enthralled in their lesson a couple of lovers just stealing a second a group of old buddies just chewing the fat or perhaps some old dears going yakkety yak |
Luke Wright: be sure Luke’s not far from these charming vignettes preparing to act out the Dead Parrot sketch or offer some line from the cavernous jaws of a life that’s just echo and hollow applause. |
tweetcomedyclub: @LukeWrightPoet is at the Underbelly with "The Petty Concerns of Luke Wright" at 18:00 each night. |
tweetcomedyclub: Time for a break |
tweetcomedyclub: I think were coming back for more. Its very hot in here. Hope its not so hot for you at home or wherever you are |

Jason Cook: im a geordie & my wife is jewish, she got annoyed when I said our kids would be judys |
Jason Cook: i wish i was a south african lesbian cos ive always wanted to say the word clitoris (in a s. african accent) |
Jason Cook: i wish i was a paedophile as theres nothing more rewarding than encouraging potential |
Jason Cook: i wish i was my wife cos then id be right all the fucking time |
Jason Cook: i wish i was a midget cos......YOUD BE A MIDGET |

tweetcomedyclub: this is now MATT GREEN |
Matt Green: Hello! I don’t usually do one-liners. I usually tell stories. Turns out it’s quite hard to tell a story with just 140 characters. |
Matt Green: Not that my stories usually have more than 140 characters. I’m not Dickens. They usually have one character: me. Being hapless. Anyway, here goes...! |
Matt Green: I saw my all-time favourite poster in the window of a cafe. It just said: “FOOD THAT’S GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT!” |
Matt Green: Surely that’s the minimum requirement of a cafe? |
Matt Green: I was worried about swine flu so I bought a thermometer. On the box it says “can be used orally or rectally”. And I thought: Yeah... |
Matt Green: But you have to make a choice... ...as a household. Maybe they should make them in 2 different colours. Perhaps red and brown? |
Matt Green: I realised recently that I’m a member of a gym in the same way that North Korea is a member of the UN. |
Matt Green: I’m rarely there, and whenever I do turn up I make a mockery of the point of the place! |
Matt Green: Although unlike North Korea I have no Weapons of Mass Destruction...unless you count these bad boys (my arms)! Which you probably don’t... |
Matt Green: I saw a billboard recently which said: “CHILD PORN DVDS FOUND IN HIGH RD”. |
Matt Green: The thing is, I misread it and thought it said “HI RES”. I thought: we’ve got some picky paedophiles round here! |
Matt Green: “Do you fancy a look at Lolita Heaven 7?” “Not unless you have it on Blu Ray!” |
Matt Green: I recently had a loft conversion. It converted to Islam. Now all of our neighbours’ lofts have become a little bit racist. |
Matt Green: I read a headline in the paper which said: “Edinburgh Set For Rubbish Strike”. That’s a bit unfair, isn’t it? |
Matt Green: At least let them HAVE the strike before reviewing it! |
Matt Green: I use the trains a lot because I don’t drive. Not because I can’t, because I don’t want to. And because I can’t. |
Matt Green: I was on a train recently when the screen on the platform said it was going one place, the screen on the train said somewhere else... |
Matt Green: ...and a tannoy announcement said another totally different place! |
Matt Green: I was worried so asked the guard: could you tell me where this train is going please? And he just said: “well where are YOU going?” |
Matt Green: So I said: you don’t need to know that! Could you just tell me where the TRAIN is going please? |
Matt Green: He said: “No. You tell me where YOU’RE going, THEN I’ll tell you where the TRAIN is going!” |
Matt Green: I had no idea I had such POWER! I thought trains were clear about where they’re going, regardless of the wishes of any passengers on board. |
Matt Green: Surely that’s the reason why you don’t get many train hijackings... [brandishes a gun] “Take me to London!” |
Matt Green: “Very well sir, but you’ll have to get a replacement bus service from Peterborough!” |
Matt Green: Thanks for listening and/or reading! I’ve been Matt Green / @mattgreencomedy. |
Matt Green: Check out my show “Truth & Pleasure” at the Pleasance Hut @ 7.15pm every day. Bye! |
tweetcomedyclub: Now we have @gerryhowell |
Gerry Howell: Gerry's poem |
Gerry
Howell: I was born in a shoe in brick lane, my father
was a cobbler, my mother was insane. Well, you'd have to be to marry a cobbler. |
Gerry
Howell: people used to say. Nowadays there much less stigma attached to mending shoes, it's just like being gay |
Gerry Howell: i read in the newspaper - peanuts are not really nuts, they're more of a bean. did you know that? botanical correctness gone mad |
Gerry Howell: i wrote to the royal mail the other day, i thought they'd appreciate it. they deliver so much mail, but none of its for them |
Gerry Howell: knock knock - who's there - j edgar hoover |
Gerry Howell: j edgar hoover who? j edgar hoover me j edgar hoover my dead body |
Gerry Howell: i built a catflap the other day, but i threw it out of the window. |
Gerry Howell: i dont have a cat, it was a big waste of time, but it suddenly turned into a cat, and landed on its feet, but it got run over by a truck |
Gerry Howell: so now its a flat cat, and theres no need for a cat flap |
Gerry Howell: i like to play musical chairs with my grandmother. because she's deaf. it's not as cruel as it sounds because she's in a wheelchair. |
Gerry Howell: i went into nandos and ordered a chicken and an egg just to see what would come first. |
tweetcomedyclub: @gerryhowell is presenting "Gerry Howell's incubation hour" at 17:15 every day at the Underbelly. Be sure to get along |
tweetcomedyclub: kent valentine up now - |
Kent Valentine: Hi twitterverse, you can probably tell from my accent that I'm Australian. I moved over to the UK because... well... my country was on fire. |
Kent Valentine: And so I thought: Let's go somewhere where there's little chance of that happening. |
Kent Valentine: My name's Kent, which in Australia, is a good name. Here in the UK however, it's akin to walking around being called Queensland. |
Kent Valentine: I've had to leave my phone on for the gig because my fiancee back in London is 8 1/2 months pregnant, so this could be a really short spot. |
Kent Valentine: We had fun telling people that we were having a baby. My preferred method: Showing them an ultrasound and saying "I made that with my balls" |
Kent Valentine: My fiancée has a boy's name, which is great, b/c when you tell your homophobic Gran that you're having a baby with someone called Charly... |
Kent Valentine: ...her face will go through a range of emotions that will earn you 5 star ratings if you record it and upload it to youtube. |
Kent Valentine: Here are two for the typography fans: 1) Times New Roman is fooling no one, we know that underneath those serifs it's just Arial in a suit. |
Kent Valentine: 2) Why is it that Times New Roman is the only font "serious enough" to report the news? I'm not saying Comic Sans MS, but come on... |
Kent Valentine: ... surely the global financial shit-fest would be made so much better with a dash of Helvetica and some sexy kerning. |
Kent Valentine: 3) My absolute favourite font is WingDings; it's like the alphabet went to a fancy dress party. "Look everyone, Q is dressed as a telephone" |
Kent Valentine: It's time we stopped calling aliens "Intelligent Life". All they do is crop circles and probe farmers, so I don't think they went to uni. |
Kent Valentine: In fact, if ALL they do is burn-outs and anal, we could even stop calling them aliens and just call them "other farmers". |
Kent Valentine: People say that you should put your blood, sweat and tears into your work, but if you make cakes for a living, just use flour. |
Kent Valentine: I hate it when bakeries have a sign up saying "Home-made pies". Why are you making them at home? You fuckers own a bakery. |
Kent Valentine: There are 2 foxes near our house, we've called them Darth & Cunt-Face. 1 has breathing difficulties, the other looks like Simon Cowell. |
Kent Valentine: CCTV cameras always have signs next to them saying "this camera is here for your comfort and security"… |
Kent Valentine: …but what they mean is “we don’t trust you with our shit.” |
Kent Valentine: I hate how SPAM is always so negative. I send out my own unwanted, but affirming emails. "You don't need a Rolex & that cock is big enough!" |
Kent Valentine: When a 2nd hand shop has a sign saying "Turn your jewellery into cash" what they mean is "turn somebody else's jewellery into heroin" |
Kent Valentine: Apples that are too floury to enjoy, but too crunchy to throw away in a world with not enough food, can just get fucked. |
tweetcomedyclub: @kentvalentine is part of "Fucking Funny for a Fiver" which is on at The Tron as part of @fivepoundfringe 23:40 most evenings |
tweetcomedyclub: TOM CRAINE EVERYONE |
Thomas Craine: I didn’t have a TV till I was 15, so where as most people draw their comedic influences from sitcoms and cartoons… |
Thomas Craine: I drew mine from loneliness and the Bible… |
Thomas Craine: So brace yourself for gross introspection and vague homophobia. |
Thomas Craine: Didn’t have a TV at home, but we did have a radio, as if my parents only had a problem with the visual end of entertainment |
Thomas Craine: They’d tear all the images from my storybooks… |
Thomas Craine: Quite a depressing state of affairs to be handed a pop up book when all that’s left is the mechanism |
Thomas Craine: Once foolishly made the mistake of playing Chinese whispers on a school trip to Tiananmen Square and was subsequently arrested for conspiracy |
Thomas Craine: Half expected to return home to find they’d replace all family photos with framed descriptions of where we’d been… |
Thomas Craine: “Oooh, Spain 92… look how tanned it says you were” |
Thomas Craine: I think, to deny your child a TV because you think it’ll lead him astray, is a little over zealous… |
Thomas Craine: Its like denying your child a Rubix Cube because your concerned its RIGID segregation of colours will lead him towards racism |
Thomas Craine: You will not walk in on him to see him tipexing every side the same colour screaming "why can’t it be like this father?" |
Thomas Craine: That is not how causality works. |
Thomas Craine: no tv meant i wasnt affected by advertising, the bible was my argos catalogue- one christmas i just asked for the gift of fogiveness. |
Thomas Craine: i didnt get it so threw a massive tantrum, but it was ok, my mum forgave me |
tweetcomedyclub: @thomascraine will be telling you about his "Comfort Blanket" at The Pleasance, every day: 19:15 |
tweetcomedyclub: JUSTIN MOORHOUSE IS ON NOW |
Justin Moorhouse: Justin is doing it deadpan: (: im not having a nice time - i went to the toilet the other day in my venue - i was having a pee and someone |
Justin Moorhouse: had put my flyer in the urinal - i was literally peeing on my own face. a man came in & saw it and looked at me like i was the weirdest |
Justin Moorhouse: deviant he had ever seen. But because Im a massive publicist, I let him see what time i was on. imagine my pain when he pissed it back |
Justin Moorhouse: and said hed already seen the reviews. |
Justin Moorhouse: twitter crashed so we missed most of that, sorry |
tweetcomedy2: NAT LUURTSEMA now! |
Nat Luurtsema: Im from London, i live on a road that's 2 miles of fried chicken shops, it's a chicken's worst nightmare. |
Nat Luurtsema: An adult chicken, obviously - the unborn are more scared of Easter. |
Nat Luurtsema: My flatmate's a Christian, + for a giggle i like to draw " at the beginning + the end of his Bible. To make it all sound sarcastic. |
Nat Luurtsema: I cried recently + my tears rolled neatly into the wrinkles under my eyes, then dropped precisely into the wrinkles by the side of my mouth. |
Nat Luurtsema: Essentially my face has built gutters for my tears. It's laid the infrastructure for large-scale misery, what is it expecting?! |
Nat Luurtsema: I bought a facial scrub recently. Made no difference to my face, just wore my fingers down to stumps. I do look younger now, but only from the wrists down. |
Nat Luurtsema: My boyfriend won't hold my hand anymore, he says it's creepy. Says a romantic walk now feels like an abduction. |
Nat Luurtsema: He's a lovely man. He treats me like a princess. Of a republic. Ignores me mainly, and won't let me make decisions. |
Nat Luurtsema: He looks just like me, so if we have kids and he leaves me i wont end up stuck with kids that look like him. They'll look like me, and i'll tell everyone i made them by myself, like a maggot. |
Nat Luurtsema: I probably shouldn't have kids. Whenever im cooking food i keep pulling it out of the oven to check how its doing and then i ruin it. |
Nat Luurtsema: If i became pregnant Id struggle to break the habit. Couldn't resist a peek. |
Nat Luurtsema: As a kid i played alone, i'd find a line of ants scurrying one behind the other, creep up on them, pick up the one at the end, swing him around my head, put him back and run away. |
Nat Luurtsema: Because who the hell is going to believe him when he tells them what just happened to him? |
tweetcomedy2: and now, Andrew O'Neill! |
Andrew
O'Neill: Good evening! Take my wife! My mother-in-law is so fat... she had one of those bands put on her stomach. |
Andrew O'Neill: How does Bob Marley like his doughnuts? JAM DOUGHNUTS! |
Andrew O'Neill: Two nuns in the bath. One says “Have you got the soap?” The other replies “Yes, it does, doesn't it?” |
Andrew O'Neill: Why did the Mexican push his wife off the cliff? SANGRIA!! |
Andrew O'Neill: “I've got a new doctor.” “Is he a witch doctor?” “No, he's fully qualified.” |
