I idolised Sean as a comic long before I became a comedian myself and ten years working alongside him didn’t diminish that in the least. An incredible comic brain and a truly unique voice.

Watching Sean's last ep of Countdown I can see how upset I was knowing he was ill and how much that affected my performance, while Sean himself continued to be effortlessly hilarious. A true comic to the end. That's why he's trending on twitter and why he's so missed.

The threat of a yellow card doesn’t stop players diving, fouling or abusing referees but it has stopped them showing solidarity with those who are threatened with death for being in love. What an absolute fucking farce.

It’s important to take an interest in politics and to voice your anger when you feel it. That said, sometimes it’s more important to turn your phone off, order a pizza, open a bottle of something before 11am, watch Home Alone 1&2 and not get dressed.

“Did you mean ‘weather’?” No mate, I want the fucking ‘weatger forecast’. What do you think? I never hate google more than when it says the sort of thing I would say.

I’ve never set out to be a controversial comic or to deliberately upset people, but reading my tweets after biting into a vegan cornetto on TV has made me feel like the bad boy of British comedy. I might start wearing a vegan leather jacket and vaping on stage.

Just realised why I’ve been in a better mood today and it’s because I had a dream about meeting Marcelo Bielsa last night and we talked in Spanish and became friends. Having remembered I’m now depressed that it wasn’t real.

I blame all these new Leeds fans. Lot of pressure on the lads here, playing for the hopes and dreams of the nation's football supporters. #europeansuperleeds
