Toast on Toast by Steven Toast

May 9, 2020 by andtheIToldYouSos Leave a Comment

and with that traditional greeting, Steven Toast bellows his way into the utterly ridiculous and frequently disgusting story of his life. Steven Toast, an utter buffoon of a down on his luck/past his prime actor, is the creation of Matt Berry and Arthur Matthews- and while Toast is credited as the author (what with this being an autobiography and all), the work really belongs to them. If you have not seen Toast’s show, Toast of London, then you are going to need to stop what […]

Break a Leg!

June 22, 2015 by Zirza Leave a Comment

The other day, when I was talking to my hippie-dippy earth-mother anthropologist friend, I told her I’d never expected to become a teacher. She smirked at me and told me it was a great fit: “You like rules and you like stability.” She’s also told me I had a “grown up house” (hers, by her own admission, is a pigsty) and I, in turn, am horrified by her happy-go-lucky attitude of quitting jobs if she doesn’t like them. She lives with her Aryan Jesus-lookalike of […]
