~ The Alien's Guide to English Comedy… and perhaps British Humour ~

One wrong turn at the Crab Nebula, one map with a cross over King's Cross, obviously a landing zone, and here I am. Spaceship impounded. Officer very polite about it. The Treaty Between the Stars lets me stay while the paperwork untangles itself, which on this planet may outlive the Sun. Why not take the learning opportunity? I am decoding the most mysterious human wisdom on this planet: English comedy. My fellows demand a full report. You, dear Earthling, are reading it.

A book about comedy is on the way

Pinkoma is writing a whole book on how Earthlings make each other laugh. Working title: The Alien's Guide to English Comedy and some British Humour.

🚀 Coming summer 2026 ✨

🎤 Add your voice to the Green Room

The book is gaining a Green Room, a small collection of industry voices from the people who actually make comedy happen, and yours could be one of them. Leave a line you'd want a newcomer to hear: a kindness, a piece of hard-won advice, or an observation worth passing on. We'll print it with the name you choose, or keep you anonymous.
