  • A Very Important Announcement...

    A Very Important Announcement...
    May 29 2026

    HUGE NEWS: I'M GOING ON TOUR!


    I'm heading on my first UK tour in nearly a decade with Canary. As the miners scrambled to safety, they’d try to grab the dead canary and then immediately revive it with pure oxygen, condemning it to a constant loop of singing, panicking, dying and then singing again.


    Which is a tiny bit like medicating your chronic dread by making people laugh about the climate crisis*

    *As certified by The TImes: "The funny side of climate change… No, really!"
