Tour so far
My tour so far has been fun, especially if you love spending hours alone in a Skoda then a few hours alone, but with hundreds of people staring/laughing at you, then some more hours alone in a Skoda.
The publicity for the show is a torture exercise based on how many times I can answer ‘How did you become a comedian?
What is your show like? What is it like doing TV panel games?
Occasionally on local radio the conversation can take a rather dull turn and I get bogged down discussing what time I arrive in a town and when I last changed my cd’s in the car boot… Apologies to anyone in the Midlands who heard that spectacle of beigeness on their wireless.
I think I articulated some of what I feel about stand-up and my comedy life whilst also being relatively amusing here »
I don’t get to choose the colours schemes of any articles.
I particularly enjoyed my interviews with Marsha Shandur on XFM and Shaun Keaveny on 6music in spite (or possibly because of?) the fact that both have jobs I covet.
My debut on 5live’s Fighting talk felt like it was pretty funny and I achieved a lifelong ambition of mentioning Jim Leighton’s eyebrows on something.
Regarding the show: Norwich sticks in the mind for being the only time in my career I have made a man vomit with laughter (and Guinness) although I think it could be that Guinness scored the goal and I am claiming it because of a deflection. Anyway whatever the cause, it was a memorable end to the show. And the girl who’s job it was to clean his puke from the floor displayed one of the finest examples of a positive outlook on life when looking up half-smiling she said to me ‘well he’s very good, he chews his food, there are no lumps in this’
That’s the spirit.
Some extra dates look like being added and the Salford Lowry have already added a third show: The Lowry extra dates
Hope you can make it along
