This week on The Writer’s Gauntlet with Sadie Kaye, my opponent is the effortlessly erudite and witty Mat Ricardo – showman, best dressed juggler, and America’s Got Talent loser who wrote a book for kids about how to be criminals (The Magic in You, published by Faber!)

He’s also been my guest on RTHK Radio 3 in my Mental Ideas Podcast and doc As Bad As It Gets and is an ambassador for Mental Ideas!

BUZZ have been granted permission by The Hooghly Review to reprint my weekly column, The Writer’s Gauntlet with Sadie Kaye. They chose a different title for it though! Battle of The Wits is also the name of the affiliated podcast, which will be launching in all the usual podcast places (and some unusual ones) later this year! You can also follow our playlist of music from the IG posts of the columns on Spotify. Enjoy!

My new weekly Writer’s Gauntlet column for The Hooghly Review got off to a cracking celebrity start thanks to the wondrous wit and support of Helen Lederer, fairy godmother to witty women everywhere, award-winning author, comedian, founder of the Comedy Women in Print Prize. The inaugural column was published 12 June 2026. The wittiest responders will be invited to join me on a podcast!

Helen’s memoir Not That I’m Bitter is a joyous explosion of hilarity and humanity. Read the reviews by top literary critics and famous wits like Joanna Lumley, Ben Elton & Stephen Fry!
