Tittererer’s Digest #16 (feat. Ellie Kemper)
Hi guys and welcome to Tittererer's Digest. I usually like to start things off with short ramble about what's been going on in my life this week. I like to think it puts everyone at ease and allows them to dive into the column below feeling…
Tittererer’s Digest #15 (feat. Chris O’Dowd)
Hello there. You may notice that this week's Digest is a day late. This is because yesterday was my birthday and, in the vein of birthdays of my childhood, I was excused from homework. Yesterday, I realised that my birthday is the only…
