there's something like 23 hours left so I banged together this video which has all sorts of mistakes in it and probably will lead to people actively unpledging. unpledging is underlined in dotted red now which makes me suspect it is NOT a word. But I'm sick and tired of being patronised by machines so I'm going to leave it. Unpledging.
Anyway, pledge pledge. Full duck combo probs.
The whole thing is going to be fun I expect with lots of me asking your input and "whether" something is "funny" and basically needing all the love and attention I did not receive as a child.*
once again that link which you should go to. veitch.me/kickstarter
Apologies for lack of subtitles on this one. I just wanted to get it up quickly. Not much talking anyway tbh.
*strongly suspect my mother reads these so just want to point out that was a joke.
It’s almost done.

Don’t miss out on what could be the deal of the century.*
. The music is sublime and it's by a guy called Patrick Cannell who you can find at patrickcannell.com
*possible but unlikely
I’ve been contacted by Future You. Future You is, in all honesty, a better version of yourself (deep down, you know this would happen) and Future You told me it was VITAL that you support my comedy special on Kickstarter. Very little time left to do so. Even less now.

I had a dream last night where I met the lead singer of Muse and he told me that we’d already met actually at a wedding that, I’m 99% certain, was part of another dream I had months ago.
Is the lead singer of Muse dream hopping? Was he there? Or was the wedding dream part of the dream last night and I just feel like it was months ago. People who write down their dreams; what’s the deal? Which is it? Either way, there’s something fishy about the lead singer of Muse.
Meanwhile, re Kickstarter, our time is running out.

Imagine that poster on your wall of the person in the military outfit (probably someone from the military) and they’re pointing at you and saying “your country needs you” except that poster is of me you can take off “your country” and add “I” and then add “to pledge” to the end so it now reads “I needs you to pledge” because we forgot to take off the s from need and once you’ve got that image in your head you’ll a) probably wonder why such a poster isn’t being sold and b) want to click the link above and pre-order what does not promise to be* the “comedy gem” of “the year.”
If you pledge I’ll make sure that you get to know where and when I film this thing (if I film it live) before I tell anyone else. You know, if you’re in the area. Currently swanning it** around the Netherlands so maybes here.

Here is my patreon link it's

do you still have to put the www beforehand? Probably not. Anyway, if you enjoyed this or, frankly, even if you didn't, please consider supporting me.
Releasing this one a day early bc it's ready and why not. Also, I crave attention and read all the comments.
This is a deep fake David Attenborough. If you want to find out how I did it there's the first episode or I think it's called episode 0.5.
Anyway. If you're a video editor with a sense of humour and don't mind working with someone lazy, frantic and disillusioned then HERE IS A FORM:

This is a deep fake of David Attenborough.

If don't want to UNWEAVE TEH RAINBOW then here's episode 1 with only a tiny bit of explanation
youtu.be/d2A07ToxkTI
This is a shorter version bc people didn't like the talky talky bits before we got to the funnies.
I swear to god if you have a go at me for reuploading I'm gonna probably do nothing and eventually go about my day trying to get rid of all wires in my apartment by drilling into mortar.
2nd update: now accepting click bait viral title suggestions and thumbnails.
This is a video I've been making for ages and I've finally finished it so please don't say anything about the audio problems or glitches or anything else because I'm exhausted and so is my dog.
It's a deep fake.
a deep fake.
I had other things to say but I can't remember what they were.
Oh! Hey sign up to my mailing list where I'll be announcing live dates soon(ish) and also a special project. I say special but I don't know what that means to you. You can sign up at www.veitch.me and I think there's a link there or something.
Do YOU want a valentine's day message from yours truly to you or your loved one. Obviously not. I wouldn't. Also even writing that sentence I wondered why you would want me to tell your loved one that you loved them. If anything me doing it would almost certainly come across as less sincere.
Anyway I'm willing to do it. And I'm on www.cameo.com/jamesveitch somewhere or other. I wrote somewhere or other bc I'd just written cameo to seem flippant and then I wrote the entire web address and now it seems redundant.
For news and things about things I'm doing put your email into the mailing list at veitch.me somewhere half way down the page. Life is futile.
JAMES WHY THE REUPLOAD HONESTLY I GOT SO EXCITED WHEN I CHECKED MY NOTIFICATION AND THEN WAS SAD WHEN IT WAS A REUPLOAD
Sozza. Basically there was a line of dialogue in the last one which was missed out and it annoyed me. If you are faintly interested in what happened read on. If not, then congratulations; you are probably not as boring as I am at parties.MMMM /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST
Anyway ....
Basically, either my pop filter didn't work or I didn't use one or well who knows but I had a few pops. I didn't make this video for YouTube; it was only for Jim so I didn't care. But now I put it up here it bothered me. So I used some software to deal with the plosive; software that I was using a trial of. The trial ended before I exported it and it exported silence and I don't want to pay 300 dollars year just to get rid of a P that annoys me so I've just fiddled with the levels (if you're confused by this jargon don't be alarmed that's perfectly normal) and it's moderately better.
Anyway I lose all the comments and it looks like Ive spent way too much time on this. Plus there will probably be a mistake in the which means I'll have to re-upload again. THIS is how George Lucas must feel literally all the time.
I worked with a production company and director and they put together and sent off a taster of the teaser from the sizzle reel for the pilot episode. It clearly made a massive impact on the industry because I never heard from anyone about it ever again.
Tbh I wasn't massively happy with the taster edit that they'd made and the footage has sat on my hard drive for almost five years. I had a look over the raw footage recently and watching it is really strange. And, i think, a weird glimpse at a world I don't recognise anymore. So I've made my own taster/teaser/sizzle edit from the billion hours of footage we shot and here it is.
I don't know how long it will be up because I'm not 100% sure I asked permission from the production company to do it though I do have vague memories of me asking my agent and him telling me that he'd asked. Though it's quite possible my head's made this memory up.
Also I've used loads of commercial music to make the thing seem more slick than it actually is. Hopefully they'll monetise it and not kick up a fuss.
Anyway, I really hope it can remain up. The director was a guy called Miho who was amazing and, in the production company was brilliant in general. If anyone was on it and wants credit put on it then let me know and I'll put their name here.
Anyway. I hope you enjoy a brief sojourn to pre-election, pre-covid, pre-brexit world.
Would you watch this show? Increase my "engagement" by telling me in the comments.

A reup of a bit I did about a towel rail that I then did on Conan. Was panicked no one knew what a towel rail was elsewhere. Does anyone have them in other places? The more I think about it the more a heated towel rail is a bit obnoxiously opulent. Mind you it might be one of those things that once you have it, you can't imagine going back; like AirPods and the Welfare State.

Will that be a clickable link? We shall find out.
Please buy these because I really think I ordered too many of them. I have regular and "deluxe" versions. Basically I got carried away.
New and different content as soon as it's ready but, in the meantime, order six of these plse.
Also, spread the word. These will make the most amazing Christmas presents. Or they won't. Life is tedious.
You can buy the game I made on www.weneedtotalkabouttheducks.com
you can buy the book Dot Con wherever you get your books (Amazon probs)
