Proud father first. Bad gardener second. Wagnerite. Qualified performing clown and Ruddles Man.
Many don't realise how freeing it can be to get the engine whirring and really go at full throttle, without a care in the world. Sometimes you just have to sit down, let loose, and feel the wind blow through your hair from the pipes of your local parish organ. Smashing.

Jovial. Jaunty. Jaw-dropping. It's today's Tompkins. #BazakeTompkins
Wow, genuinely chilling. French TV show Affronter Votre Pire Cauchemar ('Face Your Worst Nightmare') confronts farmer François Lavigne with 36 singing children dressed as the brother he accidentally killed in a drink-driving accident 10 years prior.
Please leave official acts of clown commentary to trained professionals like me.

Thanks for all your wishes and to @TedTritton for driving me (most of the way) to a (children's) hospital. Unfortunately my own Improvised Explosive Device seems to have hoisted me quite high into the air leaving me with some permanent head injuries. No long term damage though.

Hilarious. Hard-hitting. Heroic. It's today's Tompkins. #BazakeTompkins

Please come and see my first ever show at the Edinburgh Fringe!
Seven years to the day since @churnwell and I were on a continental road trip across the USA, and poor Andy met a man in a bar whose name just happened to be 'Korbin Corbinne'. Safe to say, it was a long way on foot to get to the nearest town.
