I must be morally dim - I don’t see why a TV presenter’s intimate business should lead to public persecution. Makes me so uncomfortable. Having to ask friends why anything terrible has happened, why it warrants such shaming, and why it’s supposed to be endlessly my business.

A woman at Newcastle station stood up from her seat and ended her life in front of an arriving train today, directly opposite the carriage I was in. A cry of horror within, blinds drawn, and an outpouring of care and tenderness between strangers making sure each other was OK.

Now & then a young trans person comes up on stage in my show & I ask their name. I get the sense it’s the first time they’ve owned it in front of a big crowd. Can’t tell u how much it warms my heart. And in case u don’t know it, there’s a lot of love in the room when it happens.

Excited to announce that my first brand-new special for a few years, SACRIFICE, will ‘drop’, as they say, on Netflix OCT 19TH. Am thrilled to have made it for Netflix. Making it was an extraordinary journey, and for the unwitting subject of the project, it was life-changing.

I was blow-drying the taxidermy (keeps the dust out and moths away) and I found on top of a pig attached to a balloon on the ceiling a small missing piece of an 18th century automaton that my parrot had clearly stolen and stored there. I’m sure I am not alone in this.

I can’t imagine anyone (aside from the narcissistic or painfully self-deluded) has ‘high self-esteem’. Life is largely a catalogue of embarrassment & failures to do oneself justice. What a task to still pursue something worthwhile and try to take responsibility amidst one’s mess.
