"In the Seventies, when my family first moved to this country, we were the target of those comedians. I don’t see a lot of difference between the racist and hostile jokes directed at my family by comedians in the Seventies, and the targeting of the trans community now. If you come from any sort of minority, marginalised background, we’ve all got to have each others’ backs. Prejudice is a contagion.”

‘They’re as lost and inauthentic as us’: the Oscar winner who made a Farage satire – and released it on WeTransfer theguardian.com/film/2026/apr/… #Film #ComedyFilms #JackLowden #ReformUk #Comedy #Culture #Politics #Stage #UkNews


Hi Everyone,
(Yeah, you too. This is for you, if you want. Or not, if you're busy.)

This is my #introduction thingy.
I moved to LA because I was trying to be a #comedy writer and/or comedian. I did a lot of #improv and #sketch, and some #standup. It didn't really work out as a career, but I wouldn't trade the experiences for anything. I really got a chance to laugh a lot and make people laugh, and I loved all of it.

I've worked in a few fields and am now a #Trainer, #Speaker, and #CareerCoach. I think I enjoy being a career coach the most because I'm helping people from underserved communities find the right path for them, or just validating that it's OK if you don't know where you want to be, and jobs are just one aspect of life anyway.

I love to #travel and have gone to about 15 - 20 countries. But with COVID and my concerns about climate change, I'm rethinking that.

You'll probably see my posts be edited as I try to get the wording right, or if I'm worried I've upset someone.

I like to retoot silly, kind toots that speak to the #absurdity of life or are just good #puns. I also like #cuteanimals a lot.

I'm married to an amazing woman. We recently put down our 15-year-old schnauzer Patches and I still miss him. And I'm #liberal af.

I guess that's enough to go on, right? If you made it this far, thank you for reading!
