Astonishingsodcast 

My podcast has just launched, in all the usual places!

Welcone.

Hello. I'm James Thomas. Many know me as Astonishing Sod. 

I'm a writer, dealing primarily in humour, with a taste for the baroque, the disorienting, the absurd, and the unexpected. Here are some things of mine: 
​
  • Why the Long Joke?, St. Martin’s Press, 2016: my first book, a collection of humour writing 
  • Astonishingsodcast, 2018: my podcast, featuring fresh comedy material every few weeks 
  • HUMUOR, 2016: a comedy zine in the style of Army Man and the National Lampoon 
  • The New Yorker, Shouts & Murmurs, since 2014: How to Write a Sentence; So You Found A...; I Wrote an Open Letter, But the Words Fell Out; Hieronymus Bosch’s Lost Masterpiece 
  • Crimer Show, 2013-14: the first and only serialised drama, and comedy, on Twitter. A satirical “show” in text, 5 days a week, for 150 weeks 
  • Twitter dot com, since 2008: over 50 Twitter accounts, dealing in various strands of humour and drama. Notably: Terbil Draems, Crimer Show, Goggl Serch... 

There's lots of stuff here. Thanks for visiting. Please consider supporting my work on Patreon!
