Whoa there, Robert Wringham here. Writer-comedian and publisher of New Escapologist. Wait, don’t go!
Current Doings
New Escapologist Issue 16 is out now. These have a tendency to run out, so get it while it’s hottttt. 🔥
Melt It! The Book of the Iceman is being turned into a film.
My first novel Rub-A-Dub-Dub won a Saltire Prize. Sort-of.
Before I Go is the memoir of alt-comedy alt-hero John Dowie. I’m proud to have edited this wonderful book.
I haven’t written many short pieces this year, but I still insist that they’re my main pash, that I’m “a wordy Pee-wee Herman,” that I’m “the fringe Fran Lebowitz,” that I’m “James Thurber with an anus,” and that you can read some old faves here.
For more current doings, see my now page.
