‘I bombed particularly badly’: Star of John Bishop-inspired film Is This Thing On? recalls ‘scary’ stand-up show | Ents & Arts News

John Bishop was going through a divorce from his wife Melanie. It was October 2000 and he had moved out of his family home and would see his children on the weekend. After saying goodbye to his family for another week, the then 34-year-old salesman wandered into the Frog and Bucket comedy club in Manchester and, to avoid paying the £4 entry fee, signed up for the open mic night that was taking place. Only a handful of people were in the room, his name was called to go on stage and from there, John Bishop began his career in comedy. “I found this thing that I just loved, but I was never sure it would be a job ever,” he tells Sky News. “It took a number of years for me to build up to it and I was 40 when I left my job, so it was a completely different stage than what you see in the film. “What you see in the film is someone who all of a sudden finds something …

Brandy’s brother Ray J shares scary update after life-threatening hospitalization: ‘My health is not OK’

Brandy’s younger brother, Ray J, just shared a heartbreaking update about his health. The 45-year-old singer and songwriter updated his fans in a video shared to social media on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. Appearing visibly weakened, he delivered a frightening prognosis: “2027 is definitely a wrap for me. That’s what the doctor said.” The “Sexy Can I” was hospitalized earlier this month in Las Vegas for severe pneumonia which severely damaged his heart. “My heart’s only beating 25 percent, but as long as I stay focused and stay on the right path, everything will be all right,” he said in a January 25 Instagram video. “My health is not OK, so I thank everybody for supporting and praying for me through everything I’ve been in the hospital.” During the separate, more alarming stream on January 27, he went further, claiming doctors told him he had as little as three weeks left to live. © Getty ImagesBrandy and Ray J during a Disneyland Concert in Anaheim, California The support and prayers are surely coming from his …

Maxwell Frost: ‘It’s a Really Scary Time’

Maxwell Frost: ‘It’s a Really Scary Time’

On Friday night at a bar in Park City, Utah, a man approached Representative Maxwell Frost and said to him, “We are going to deport you and your kind.” The 28-year-old man then yelled a racial slur and punched Frost in the face before running away, according to court documents reported by KUTV and a social-media post by Frost. Just a few days into the second year of Trump’s second term as president, his incendiary comments and actions, and the fact that they come from the president of the United States, seem to be inspiring some Americans to act in line with their worst intentions and their darkest passions, Frost told me. “Trump has brought out the worst in everybody,” Frost said when I reached him by phone on Saturday evening. “People are just really emboldened and it’s a really scary time.” Frost’s alleged assailant was arrested soon after the incident, with the help of security at the venue, and booked on suspicion of aggravated burglary, assaulting an elected official, and assault. The attack took …

Being Honest in Your Relationship Can Feel Risky and Scary

Being Honest in Your Relationship Can Feel Risky and Scary

In part one of this series, I introduced you to Deb, a woman who was fully aware of her truth, how unhappy she was, and what didn’t work for her in her marriage, but was too afraid to share it with her husband. Deb was smack in the middle of stage two of the “truthing” process, the stage when your head knows you will be okay and that you can handle whatever repercussions might come from telling the truth… but your body doesn’t actually believe it yet. Your body still harbors a deep fear of speaking your truth when that truth might be unlikable and unwanted. And so, Deb, despite all her wisdom, awareness, and self-sufficiency in every other area of her life, had stayed in a relationship for years, one that made her anxious and lonely and put her in a constant state of dysregulation. Deb also suffered with another aspect of stage two in the “truthing” process. Namely, self-criticism. Deb was frustrated and disappointed in herself because she couldn’t or wouldn’t tell her …

15 years later, “Scary Island” still sets the standard for “Housewives” chaos

15 years later, “Scary Island” still sets the standard for “Housewives” chaos

If you Googled the words “‘Housewives’ trip” 15 years ago, the search results were probably more likely to return a sketchy link to some fetish site depicting clumsy homemakers, rather than a wealth of Reddit threads where users fight about reality television. (Now all that obscure fetish content has moved to TikTok, anyway.) These days, “‘Housewives’ trip” is synonymous with the most outlandish, uncouth, highly compelling television that the reality genre has to offer. In a “Real Housewives” franchise, cast trips are something that loyal viewers anticipate all season long. Bravo producers ship a handful of women off to some exotic locale — and, sometimes, Montana is a Housewife’s definition of exotic — where cameras film them morning, noon and night. When all of the Housewives are in one place, no one can get away with anything. Tensions run high, and if all goes according to plan for Bravo, ratings run even higher. Across three explosive, landmark episodes, the St. John excursion turned into a franchise-altering nightmare for the women insulated on their little archipelago, …
