I started reaching out through 76 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,280 different ways to try and say and just one of those ones where 77 00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:37,000 you ask and you're expecting like a no, like no response or a 78 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,120 plate no.

Hurry. 105 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,000 What, what do you think of First of all, it's so good that you're 106 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,480 in Belfast. So we're talking about before, 107 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,720 about American comedians coming over, international comedians, 108 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,400 and it happened in Dublin for so many years. 109 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,040 They come to Dublin. So we would have to go to Dublin 110 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,760 to see Someone Like You or any of the great acts that have been 111 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,960 over. But now people coming to 112 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,280 Belfast, it's great. Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's 113 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,760 really fantastic. Like there are, well, I know 114 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,400 this is technically the UK so I don't want to like speak out of 115 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,880 turn, but just keep. It moving here. 116 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:40,440 In the the the whole country of Ireland, your thing is? 117 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:41,240 I. Don't want to? 118 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,440 Get. I also can't describe it and I'm 119 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,880 familiar, but I know what you. Mean yeah, the island, the whole 120 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,720 island, it's like it's like the size of Indiana, like one state, 121 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,200 you know, and there's, we're doing 10 different cities in 122 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,680 this tour and everything's like just a couple hours, if that 123 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,440 away from each other. And you couldn't do that in 124 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,320 Indiana, you know, like you, you could play like 2 cities maybe 125 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,400 there. And so like to get to be in 126 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:13,400 like, especially like away from America and like do a bunch of 127 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,240 different shows within two weeks. 128 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,320 It's just like, it's a cool experience. 129 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,800 You get to different cultures, different crowds. 130 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,320 Like, I mean, I know we both speak English, but like, there's 131 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,640 a lot of differences. There's big differences, like do 132 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,040 you think our accent is kind of mad, like in all the places 133 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,160 you've been? I mean, I, I'm really bad with 134 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,920 accents in general. Like when I watch television, if 135 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,680 there's any accent, I have to have the subtitles on. 136 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,200 Like I just, I'm like a old mom, right. 137 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,800 Yeah. And and I, I just, I don't have 138 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,400 the ear for it. I also can't speak other 139 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,800 languages very well, you know, So any accent I'm sort of like, 140 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,280 yeah, yeah. But yeah, no, I have noticed 141 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,960 it's different and like. Like it is a small place here, 142 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,120 but you go like there's a place you won't be doing unsure. 143 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,240 There's a place called Ballymena, which is like 20 144 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,760 minutes away from here. I wouldn't know what they were 145 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,520 saying. You know, we're like, we like 146 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,240 you would think somewhere this small would just have one 147 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,520 accent, right? But we have, we make up for we 148 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,200 have like a million of them. So many, like I can definitely 149 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,560 notice a difference between, you know, there was definitely a 150 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,680 difference between Cork and even Dublin. 151 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,040 I mean, Dublin is a totally different. 152 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,360 There's a difference between Cork and anywhere else, right? 153 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaks. English Corks. 154 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:22,880 Math. Yeah. 155 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,120 They have a lovely accent though. 156 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,800 Yeah, when we when we went to Bally Cotton, which is like on 157 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:28,920 the. Coast outside, yeah. 158 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,240 Yeah, yeah. And Bally Cronin or Cronin I 159 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,960 don't know. You'll only do on this tour. 160 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,400 It's it's got to be Bally. Yeah, yeah, Bally something. 161 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,080 It doesn't matter what it is.

Like I experience that a little 187 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,040 bit like you just you have the same day over and over again. 188 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,720 Yeah. And you maybe see like a tiny 189 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,960 bit of it. Well, so I always go for a run 190 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,800 in the morning and. I'll show you, I'll show you. 191 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,960 Went for a run today around the lot. 192 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,280 I did, yeah.

No, yeah, I ran along the river, 196 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,200 which was absolutely beautiful. Like I just, and I I could have 197 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,480 kept going. I was, it got to like a really 198 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,640 pretty part and I was like at my turn around point and I was 199 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,280 like, oh, come on. But yeah, it was really, it was 200 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,240 really cool. And in Dublin, like the, I think 201 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,960 the first time I was there with Chris, I went for a run in 202 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,680 Phoenix Park and I was like, well this, this is great. 203 00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:36,200 And even just like walking to get to the run, you always see a 204 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:41,080 bit more of the city. So I mean, it's been like I ran 205 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,480 all around Limerick, I ran all around Kilkenny. 206 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,760 I didn't run in. No, I did do a run. 207 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,520 I ran in Cork. Yeah, it was great. 208 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:54,080 I also I ran in Cork and there was I was on the around the 209 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,120 river and I saw a bunch of missing persons vehicles like 210 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,280 searching the river. What do you meant missing 211 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,720 persons? What are the chances you're 212 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:02,960 like?

And then when I was in 259 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,680 Australia, I was like warm weather training camp. 260 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,440 Yeah. You know, So I got in touch with 261 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:20,600 this guy who just, I feel like would know people who do 262 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,960 exercise from there. Yeah, as a he'll know someone. 263 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,880 And he did. And it was a professional 264 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,560 Italian boxer in Sydney and he's like, I'm going to take you for 265 00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:29,760 a session. I was like, brilliant. 266 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,360 And we did it right by Bondi Beach, but it was like 40°. 267 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,520 And it was great at the start, but then and there was like a 268 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,320 load of like young people watch. So it was like the area couldn't 269 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,320 be more public, right? So it's like you have beach and 270 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,200 then there's like a concrete bit and everybody was watching do 271 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,440 this. How I know like we're not like a 272 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,640 warm place. The sweat kept like bypassing my 273 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,280 eyebrows and just went directly into my eye. 274 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,960 And the first time it happened, I was like, oh, like, I'm good 275 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,360 to go here. And and the guy was like real 276 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,120 intense as you would be if you're a professional boxer. 277 00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:03,760 But the sweat like like I very like, you can see, like I don't 278 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,800 mind you saying like my eyebrows aren't very strong. 279 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,240 Yeah, I mean, maybe you don't want like a a huge bushy 280 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,800 eyebrow. But mine stop halfway through. 281 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,880 You don't know if you can probably see, but like they kind 282 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,240 of stop halfway through. All right. 283 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,400 And that's a that's like a, like a clearing. 284 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,440 Yeah, it was just like a little. There's just a tiny river. 285 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,440 Yeah, just a wee bit gets through and, and, and and put a 286 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,480 bottlenecks as well. So then a lot will come once. 287 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,200 And I had that like I was supposed to do a 4045 minute 288 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,840 session with this guy and after like 6 minutes I was like I 289 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,000 can't do this like because of my. 290 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,080 I feel like you can't with boxing gloves on sand wipe your 291 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,160 eyes. No, I had I had to only filmed 292 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,000 it, so I will put it somewhere but I kept I would have to take 293 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,520 both gloves off. Yeah, and then I didn't bring a 294 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,720 tile, but I had AT shirt and I had to go over like wipe and 295 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,040 then it but it was the IT was it was. 296 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,200 Yeah. But the idea in my head of what 297 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,880 that would be like in a boxing session on Bondi Beach, just 298 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,680 different to the to the reality. Right. 299 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,840 And you'll be like, you know, you probably thought, like, 300 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,560 after today I'm gonna be Yeah. I mean, like, ready for the big 301 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:02,240 time. Yeah. 302 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,240 I also someone was like, let's go exercise on Bondi Beach. 303 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,160 I'd be like, you gotta take me to a place where people are 304 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,760 uglier. Yeah, I'm not gonna. 305 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,840 Ohh, I've got it. I can't be out there with all 306 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,200 those women. Have you been in Bondi Beach? 307 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,920 I know I honestly, I'm like scared of how Australians are 308 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:22,320 super hot, yeah, men and women. And I just like, I try to avoid 309 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,640 being in places with a lot of hot women because I'm funny and. 310 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,640 If you don't like hot people, welcome to Belfast. 311 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,000 I would, I would move. Yeah, I would definitely like 312 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,480 move here. Yeah, and. 313 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,000 We're like, we're very like, we don't have extreme weather, but 314 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,600 we are very like, like our feet, you know, we feel the weather on 315 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,160 our face. You know, that's sort of like a 316 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,120 lot of weathered people, and we're sad. 317 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,000 Yeah, you've got a lot of windblown. 318 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,120 Yeah, yeah. No ones like, no ones like glow. 319 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,520 You know that phrase like you're glowing? 320 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,400 I'd never heard that till I left here. 321 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,440 But yeah, I I, I love the travel, love the exercise when 322 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,600 I'm away. But like, yeah, sometimes the 323 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,040 reality of it's different to what? 324 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,520 Like in New York, I did some boxing because it was the same 325 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,240 charity fight that was coming up and I was on tour and we filmed 326 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,840 it just for documenting what I was doing it there. 327 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,800 And I watched it back and it was like in Brooklyn under like a 328 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,800 under like the subway or under like a train track. 329 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,080 And I thought this so cool. And I went through all the moves 330 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,720 and everything. And then I watched the back and 331 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,720 I was like, this isn't what I think it is. 332 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,280 I don't move like I think I do in my head. 333 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,880 And what, what part of America are you from? 334 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,600 I'm from Pennsylvania.

I mean, like I I did not like 380 00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:10,320 chocolate because growing up I always had Hershey chocolate and 381 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,720 then I had Cadbury. Cadbury, OH. 382 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,600 Yeah, yeah. And I was like, this is what you 383 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,560 guys were talking about. People always say excellent. 384 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,560 People always say, like when American people come here, they 385 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,960 go real. You can taste real ingredients 386 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,560 that you guys make food with real things. 387 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,720 I was just, OK. So like Skittles in America, 388 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,200 like I can't remember the exact phrase they used, but it's 389 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,960 something like the the, the preservatives or food dyes or 390 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,880 whatever they put in are like it's not carcinogens, but it's 391 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,600 something poisonous. Crystal meth, yeah. 392 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,560 And so I haven't really been eating Skittles. 393 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,200 And then one of the women that's here with me, she bought 394 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,960 Skittles and I tried them. They're a different colour, like 395 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,800 slightly like ours are like neon. 396 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a slightly different, 397 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,400 more natural looking colour and they taste different. 398 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,600 And I was like, yeah, it's because they took out the dead 399 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:01,440 stuff. Yeah. 400 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,480 But we, we have like we're, we can't have anything. 401 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,640 We have sugar tax.

Yeah. 414 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,440 Yeah. Well, I mean, if you tried to do 415 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,360 that, like in America, we tried to, you know, those super big 416 00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:47,280 sodas, you can get the big golf.

Because I also wasn't like, I 542 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,280 mean, I was funny in high school, you know, like, and my 543 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,800 group of friends, we were like fun and silly. 544 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,520 Yeah, we were, we had this, I had this group of girlfriends in 545 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,920 high school and we were all like, like there was a group of 546 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,000 like hot kind of bad girls.

So I just did the that show with 608 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,600 him. But I'm actually, I think I 609 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,160 might do Edinburgh again, Yeah. Yeah, this year. 610 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,200 This year. I think, I think I'm going to do 611 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,800 a bit of it. I like to, I like to just people 612 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,880 not know if I'm at Adam or not, I'll just be there for like a 613 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,760 little bit like the, the year just passed. 614 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,520 I did two nights in Edinburgh. I did one Saturday and then the 615 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,880 next week I did just a Sunday. And it was great because you see 616 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,160 your friends who've been there all months and they're like dead 617 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,760 behind the eyes. Yeah, soulless, missing teeth, 618 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,040 all that kind of stuff. Heroin and really? 619 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,840 Forget why they're doing this at all. 620 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,120 You just. Breeze in for one day and it's 621 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,440 great because you're full of enthusiasm. 622 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,120 Yeah, actually flew home the same night that my show was. 623 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,120 Oh yeah. Did a 7:00 PM show, got like a 624 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,880 10/20 flight home. It's brilliant. 625 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,360 But the fringe is. Have you done a full run for? 626 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,200 So the first time I did it, I did a full run and, you know, I 627 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,880 had a good time. But it was one of those things 628 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:54,280 where everyone had told me so many horror stories and I, you 629 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,280 know, it was until I got back on the plane home. 630 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,720 Then I was like, I think I actually had a good time, you 631 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,840 know, like it was, but I wasn't, I wasn't ready to admit that the 632 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,640 whole time because I didn't want to, like, jinx myself or 633 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,240 something. But this time, yeah, I just 634 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,560 think it would be fun to do again because obviously I'm a 635 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:11,920 very different spot in my career. 636 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,200 But like, yeah, I just want to see, you know, like, I just want 637 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,240 to try again, you know, like, just like. 638 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,000 I mean, it's fun, and if you have a show, that show by the 639 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,480 end of it is so much better. Well, and also with a baby like 640 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,560 to be in one place where you can go, you can do like 28 shows 641 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,520 like in a month and not have to move every day. 642 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,680 I'm like, that's pretty perfect. Yeah, because I think that's 643 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,880 what I'll do if I do maybe a couple of weeks this year, we'll 644 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,440 we'll bring the kids and try and stay somewhere just out of the 645 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,480 city. Yeah, that's what I'm kind of 646 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,760 thinking. I I'm also telling other people 647 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,400 this because I want, I want friends there, you know? 648 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,800 Yeah, I am.

Yeah, it really has. 710 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,280 It's also I do a little bit of this in my set, but I think the 711 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,480 biggest mental change is that I really like and I'm very 712 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,280 grateful to be on stage now. Like I've always been grateful 713 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,840 to be on stage, but like in a very different way now where I'm 714 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:15,239 like, I'm, it's just nice to be able to like be me, you know, 715 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,120 like she can't, I can't like, but she's with someone else. 716 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,120 Someone else is helping and taking care of her. 717 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,040 And like I, I don't have that responsibility. 718 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,520 So I just get to be me and do jokes. 719 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,760 And it's also made me a bit more fearless on stage where it's 720 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,600 like, I don't care. I'm like, just legitimately 721 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,639 happy to be here. Like it don't like it, you know, 722 00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:40,080 So it's, it's, it's been really good. 723 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:44,080 And it's also, I mean, it's like a constant stream of material, 724 00:34:44,199 --> 00:34:45,800 so. Yeah, I think it really helped 725 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,159 me. I never, I understood that 726 00:34:48,159 --> 00:34:51,280 phrase, people saying like, you know, like you, you, you, you 727 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,679 realise like who you are or you, you, you know yourself better 728 00:34:54,679 --> 00:34:57,240 and that kind of thing. And I think it's that translated 729 00:34:57,240 --> 00:35:02,600 to me like on and off stage. Like I think I'm way more 730 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,720 comfortable just like being me on stage. 731 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,240 Yeah. Being like a little bit weirder 732 00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:12,680 and trying different things. And beforehand, that was maybe 733 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,480 trying to be the the sort of comedian that like broadcasters 734 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,200 would like or commissioners on television and that kind of 735 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:22,920 thing. Whereas now I'm very much like 736 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,640 wanting to take risks and act and talk about things never 737 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,560 talked about before and all that kind of stuff. 738 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,280 So that coincided with the exact time we had kids. 739 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,560 So I don't think that's a coincidence. 740 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,520 Yeah. I mean, I'm sure you probably 741 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,320 feel and even seen the response that you're like, because I feel 742 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,760 like in stand up, the more authentic you are to yourself 743 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:45,680 and the more you develop your own point of view, the like the 744 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,240 better your stand up gets because it's even like there's 745 00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:51,040 only so many premises, right? Like a lot of us have a lot of 746 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,520 we're talking about the same things, but like you having a 747 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,920 unique point of view on it and like authentically, like you're 748 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,120 going to find people that are like, that's what I think, you 749 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:04,480 know, And that's I think that's yeah, I mean, all of of us are 750 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,200 trying to like, especially early on, trying to please different 751 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,120 people and whatever. And then when you've really 752 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,360 like. And almost like maybe at the 753 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,520 very start, like almost be without ripping off material 754 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,800 trying to be another act that you like or you. 755 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,720 Watch emulate them, right. Like, I mean, even like, you 756 00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:22,560 know, Chappelle talks about it where he, you know, used to like 757 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,160 see Tony Woods perform and he would kind of like try to do 758 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,640 like a little bit of what he was doing. 759 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,840 It's like you need an example, you know, and then and then you 760 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,040 kind of make it into your own. But yeah, I really do think. 761 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,080 It should be for a lot of people. 762 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,960 They act, they mimic almost at the start. 763 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,680 The way they dress and talk and stuff is someone they're very 764 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,400 close to. And mine was difficult because 765 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,720 mine was Cedric the entertainer. But. 766 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,640 We cut to like old photos of you like just like drowning in a 767 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,440 huge suit a. Big Red. 768 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:57,000 Yeah, way past the knuckle. I know what I'm wearing from a 769 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,880 next door. Yeah, I would love to do that. 770 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,280 Just like a real throwback suit and never address it. 771 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,840 Yeah, never just walk out in that like just. 772 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,840 Too many layers too. Too many shoulders like the just 773 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:14,840 be real big shoulders and just. Now you live in your base a lot 774 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,600 of time, Barcelona and the Barcelona for the first time in 775 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:18,960 December. Oh, really? 776 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,000 Yeah. Are you playing? 777 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,080 The clubhouse. Great. 778 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,360 I love the clubhouse. It's like, first of all, I, I 779 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,440 went to Barcelona and then I, I didn't realise there was an 780 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,040 English comedy scene there. Yeah. 781 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,400 And then I wanted to do stand up. 782 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,320 So I just googled like English comedy Barcelona and it led me 783 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,040 to the clubhouse and it was great. 784 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,520 And then at that point they were still in this like they were 785 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,240 actually like in the bottom of like an Irish bar. 786 00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:46,360 But like now they have their own space. 787 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,000 And it's like, it's like you couldn't use like you fit like 788 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,280 70 people in there. And it's like, it's where I 789 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:52,840 developed most of my material now. 790 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,120 And it's been absolutely amazing because the crowds there too are 791 00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:00,080 like, you know, you'll have some people like some, some Catalans, 792 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,360 some Spanish people, some like, you know, you always get like a 793 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,800 like a weird mix of like people from Denmark and you know, like, 794 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,640 I don't know, so many other places. 795 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,520 There's a lot more countries. I just can't think. 796 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,760 Of it, you know, with the baby room thing, you were struggling. 797 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,800 I went to jump in with another place and couldn't give 798 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,400 anything. I was like, yeah, there 799 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,480 definitely is Denmark. Denmark definitely. 800 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,520 Like I'm sure of that.

Barcelona is like, not a city, 812 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:51,600 right? It's a city, but it's not a 813 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,000 city. It just feels so much more 814 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,880 relaxed and like, yeah, I mean, just the pace of life in Europe 815 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,960 is different anyway, But like, it's a super walkable. 816 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,680 The weather's amazing, like the whole year. 817 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,880 Yeah.

Yeah. 1061 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:25,480 Do you think the tension was coming from, like, being worried 1062 00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,200 people are going to get offended at your jokes or the fact that 1063 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,240 it was like, because I get, I think the most nervous I get on 1064 00:51:31,240 --> 00:51:34,920 stage is when there's comedians I know and like, you know, 1065 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,360 either on the same show or in the audience. 1066 00:51:37,720 --> 00:51:41,120 And I feel like that's in a row situations like, obviously you 1067 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:44,480 want to like, have great jokes, but not like, yeah, you know, 1068 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,520 hurt a friend. Yeah, I think it was, it was 1069 00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,880 both. It was like, I'm going to go up 1070 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:51,160 and I know what I've written. I've got to go up and say this, 1071 00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,760 but you and I don't know if you're prepared for that or are 1072 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,440 we all on the same level? Because we, we had a WhatsApp 1073 00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,880 group for it and it was set at start by the admin. 1074 00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,840 Like, look, is there anything totally off limits here, right? 1075 00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,720 Especially stuff around kids or or family. 1076 00:52:04,720 --> 00:52:09,920 If, if most of us were like, everything's on the table, but a 1077 00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:11,760 couple of people had to think whether they, you know, they had 1078 00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:13,240 day jobs. Maybe it's something to do with 1079 00:52:13,240 --> 00:52:14,360 that, right? That's no problem. 1080 00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,680 But it, it was just that feeling of like, I hope we're all on the 1081 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,800 same page here and that. And then also it was kind of 1082 00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,240 like I started getting nervous that the audience would get 1083 00:52:23,240 --> 00:52:25,920 offended, kind of like what you're saying of maybe the 1084 00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,240 people even in the room aren't that offended, but it's not 1085 00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,680 being told like, you should be offended at this, you know? 1086 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:32,680 Yeah, Yeah. So there was definitely like I 1087 00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:34,320 was on 1st. So there was like a bit of a 1088 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:36,760 when the audience were on side, it was great. 1089 00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,520 But at the start, they just didn't know because they they 1090 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:41,640 know we were comedians together, but they don't know. 1091 00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:43,920 Hey, I'm best friends with a lot of these people. 1092 00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,240 Yeah. Or at the very least we know 1093 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:46,320 each other well. Yeah. 1094 00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,320 Yeah, but that's like, that's when, I mean, one of the reasons 1095 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,600 the correspondence dinner isn't actually a good roast is because 1096 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,000 roast, at the heart of it, you're supposed to be roasting 1097 00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:58,240 people you like, you know, like you're supposed to be doing 1098 00:52:58,240 --> 00:53:00,960 with, like it's mean, but you're doing it with a certain, like, 1099 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:05,280 joy because it's just like us as comedians and we make fun of 1100 00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,560 each other all the time. Like, you go after each other 1101 00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:12,080 constantly and it's when it's your friend, it's good. 1102 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,120 But like, it's the correspondents dinner. 1103 00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:15,920 It's like you versus the government. 1104 00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,000 Yeah. You know, like, and the powers 1105 00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:19,720 that be. And so like, you can either be 1106 00:53:19,720 --> 00:53:22,120 like really nice or you can be like, well, this is my 1107 00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,400 opportunity to say you guys suck. 1108 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,520 Yeah. Which I don't know, maybe you 1109 00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,720 love the government, but oh, here. 1110 00:53:29,720 --> 00:53:32,040 No, I mean my. Oh, here just two starters. 1111 00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,480 Here, Yeah, yeah. Complex thing here. 1112 00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:35,840 Yeah, I know. I tried to learn a little bit 1113 00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:37,080 about they. Weren't here for years. 1114 00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,760 The what? They're just chilling for years. 1115 00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:43,520 Yeah, yeah, they weren't there. The government, yeah. 1116 00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:44,840 No, they're just. I'm not making that up. 1117 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:47,640 They were just, they're just not. 1118 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,640 They were like getting paid and stuff, but they were just 1119 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:51,680 chilling at home. Yeah. 1120 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,640 And I think this was just after COVID, so it wasn't even like 1121 00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,000 they're working from home, right? 1122 00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:58,920 They're just like playing PlayStation stuff. 1123 00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,160 Yeah, they're just like there's not it. 1124 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:01,680 Seems like things are fine, yeah? 1125 00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,320 But we have, we have like we have obviously like quite tribal 1126 00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:05,200 politics here. Yeah. 1127 00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:06,680 So it's a whole different thing. Yeah. 1128 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:10,680 So you so you going up against the government, you can't really 1129 00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,720 do because they're so polar up. You can go up against this side 1130 00:54:13,720 --> 00:54:16,160 and that side, Yeah. But everyone's united in taking 1131 00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:17,480 the whole institution is a bit shit. 1132 00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,480 Yeah. But it's very like the bite, you 1133 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,280 know? You know, in America, you know, 1134 00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:25,120 there's just the president, whereas here the two major 1135 00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:28,720 parties from the Catholic and Protestant side nominate the 1136 00:54:28,720 --> 00:54:30,720 office of First Minister. So it's like they're both. 1137 00:54:30,720 --> 00:54:33,040 There, so you both you, you, there's two. 1138 00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,560 Kind of the 1st and deputy first minister, so they kind of share 1139 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:37,480 the title. So they're kind of like. 1140 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,520 So everyone has like each side kind of has their own guy. 1141 00:54:40,720 --> 00:54:43,800 Yeah, exactly. But I, I don't like that used to 1142 00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,560 be the thing about comedy here, like that's all that it was, 1143 00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:51,240 because it was, it just dominated everything in society. 1144 00:54:51,240 --> 00:54:55,280 Here it was so much news and but now we're kind of moving. 1145 00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,080 So comedy is is a lot different here. 1146 00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:02,240 That's why comedians from here couldn't really have gone 1147 00:55:02,240 --> 00:55:05,840 anywhere else to do gigs because there was that much happening 1148 00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,680 here and the audience wanted to hear about that, right? 1149 00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:12,720 So they would comedians here in the 80s and 90s would would be 1150 00:55:12,720 --> 00:55:15,280 going to go like we'll be doing a show tonight and there might 1151 00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:18,400 have been a bomb in Belfast on the same day. 1152 00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:22,360 So they would do their show about that and it's so 1153 00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:24,640 impressive because they were all turning material over same day, 1154 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,760 same week. But that kind of was to the 1155 00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:30,360 detriment of and and stand up wasn't what it is now where the 1156 00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,160 the opportunities weren't there to go, go away and do it. 1157 00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,360 So it's a, it's funny because like you, you go do shows in 1158 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,680 America or somewhere and people from home will will come and 1159 00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:42,920 then one guy will always text you after and be like, could 1160 00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:44,720 have done with a bit more of that Belfast stuff. 1161 00:55:44,720 --> 00:55:46,040 You know, why didn't you talk about that? 1162 00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,640 And I'm like. Because I'm in Massachusetts. 1163 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:52,080 Only you would get it. I made a joke there's with a 1164 00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:53,720 shopping centre called the Castle Court Shopping Centre. 1165 00:55:53,720 --> 00:55:57,840 A guy at the show when somewhere in the West Coast, maybe San 1166 00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,720 Francisco, was like, I thought to be more of the local stuff. 1167 00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,720 Well there, I mean we're not local anymore. 1168 00:56:05,720 --> 00:56:08,600 Like that's not local. And I said I'm hardly going to 1169 00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,240 do stuff with the Classic Court shopping centre. 1170 00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:12,240 And the guy went missed opportunity. 1171 00:56:12,240 --> 00:56:14,760 I was like, it's it's, it's not, it's not a missed opportunity. 1172 00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,160 Did you? Was there like a in that time, 1173 00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,040 we were like, comedians have like the freedom to talk about 1174 00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,480 whatever they wanted. Or they would have got up. 1175 00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,520 And I've been lucky enough to have some of these comedians on 1176 00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,600 the podcast and people I grew up watching and asking about this 1177 00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:32,000 kind of thing.

Had to go back to Denmark. 1251 01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,640 I have to. I know Denmark exists. 1252 01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:20,840 There's countries in Europe and there's Denmark. 1253 01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,960 The Danish team with me listeners fucking buzzing. 1254 01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,520 They love it. Soon to be the biggest biggest 1255 01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,040 community in Denmark. Yeah, I like Denmark, but I have 1256 01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:32,360 an issue with the Oslo was the Tour show this year. 1257 01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:34,520 We had the Council. Wait, as it was. 1258 01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:38,120 The No Milan. The neither of those places are 1259 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,520 in Denmark. Oh, but no, I'm just saying I 1260 01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:43,320 have an issue with Scandinavia. Oh, thank you very much. 1261 01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:45,080 I'll take an apology from everyone in this room. 1262 01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:50,640 Thank you. I said Denmark, OK, but yeah, 1263 01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:53,480 Oslo and Milan, no. I, I mean, I just, I know that 1264 01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,440 those aren't in Denmark, my beloved Denmark. 1265 01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,400 I know those aren't part of it. No, yeah. 1266 01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:02,080 I, I, I, I think it's making me a better comedian to be kind of 1267 01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,360 like outside because I do think we get a little bit as big as 1268 01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:06,920 America is. I think we get like a little 1269 01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:09,760 insular with like our ideas and politics, obviously. 1270 01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:11,960 And then, you know, you like, you come out, you, you see 1271 01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,600 different places, you perform different places and it just 1272 01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:19,640 expands your point of view. And I just, yeah, I think I, I, 1273 01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:23,240 I really like the different pacing too. 1274 01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:27,000 And I don't know, it's been, yeah, it's been a really, it's 1275 01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:28,440 been a really great experience for me. 1276 01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:29,560 Have you ever done a show on Milan? 1277 01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:33,360 No, but I heard that, yeah.

Thing is, now I won't ever. 1279 01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:37,760 When they cancel that, the good thing is the ticket holders were 1280 01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:39,400 OK about it because there was none of them. 1281 01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:45,400 Zero tickets. 0 tickets. 0.
