It got me. 248 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,840 So the reason it was going to be 4 of us is I've got a 249 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,520 videographer with me, I. Don't say he's dead. 250 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,120 He's yeah, he died on the way, but the show goes on. 251 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,720 The barrier you read the colorboard. 252 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,200 And he arranged I was so shit at arranging travel that he got 253 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,560 bored of waiting and booked his own travel right. 254 00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:02,040 So he and this, this is still a bemusement to me. 255 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,560 He booked his flights to Dublin and back. 256 00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:08,640 So we're in Belfast tonight, in Dublin tomorrow and Monday and 257 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,680 he's filming all three nights for me and he's decided he's 258 00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:17,760 going to fly to Dublin and then get the train up and then come 259 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,400 with us tomorrow. I think I'm just going to hide A 260 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,080 car tomorrow and drive to Dublin, I think. 261 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,840 And then he's going to come back with us on the Tuesday, Right. 262 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,240 But he just got bored of waiting for me to actually book the 263 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,240 fucking thing. Yeah. 264 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:30,840 And he's gone. I've booked my own flights. 265 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,000 Yeah, I'm getting here at this time. 266 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:32,960 So that's why there was only three. 267 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,960 Of US Is this your first Belfast tour show? 268 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,480 Ever. Yeah, I've done, I've done the 269 00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:41,960 the gig at the Empire twice, Yeah, like a few years ago. 270 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,440 And I've done, I did one with you at Limelights in the smaller 271 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,480 room, which is just like a comedy club nights where a mixed 272 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,160 builder in 20 minutes. Yeah, eh. 273 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:52,840 But yeah, first time during an hour there. 274 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,040 For us, it's a, it's sort of is a comedy city. 275 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,560 No, but like it wouldn't like like even when we were in the 276 00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:03,360 comedy club, yeah, that was just what that was going to be one of 277 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,120 four or five clubs in Belfast like this. 278 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:07,560 I've sent you a car on a way down. 279 00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:10,640 Like we don't have a weekend club, which is not because. 280 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,240 It is mad, but maybe it's benefiting you see in a bit. 281 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,680 So not after because outside of Liverpool, like I'm very proud 282 00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:20,760 of Liverpool at the minute. Liverpool's on fire. 283 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,280 There's so many like home grown talents in different areas and 284 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,440 comedy in particular. There's a few podcasts that are 285 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,720 doing really well and there's comedians who can sell the arena 286 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,120 and that can at least sell theatres, like big theatres that 287 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,160 and they go outside of Liverpool and they haven't quite got as 288 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,280 big of. They've still got to follow him, 289 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,360 but not as big a following. I think the only thing that's 290 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,120 similar or maybe the same or even beyond those is what I see 291 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,760 in Belfast. Yeah, maybe I'm seeing it from 292 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,600 afar, but obviously you did two nights at the Arena last year. 293 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,040 Yeah. And you're doing, is it like 4 294 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,440 or 5 or 6 at the fucking grand 9? 295 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,760 Is it nine? Yeah, lots like like I've seen 296 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,240 the other. I don't like to say that because 297 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,360 it scared me, you know what I mean? 298 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,680 Like no, no, don't worry. But that's shouldn't mean like 299 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,440 maybe you don't even do an 8 if there was a weekend club that 300 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,240 would available to go and see that every week so. 301 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,560 It's I wonder is it like is it a working class thing? 302 00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:16,440 Is it because the cities are there are loads similarities 303 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,160 between Belfast and Liverpool? I mean, people from here like me 304 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,920 included, like first time I went to Liverpool I was like this, 305 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,400 like being at home doesn't feel like I'm in England. 306 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,640 I will it You're not really. Yeah. 307 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:32,360 Like there's a very parochial nature and I think that's what 308 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,000 you're on about really. Is that the whole source of one 309 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,880 of ours? We look after our own thing. 310 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,920 I see it a lot in Newcastle and Glasgow as well. 311 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,160 Yeah, yeah. And to be honest with you, I'm 312 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,840 quite guilty of when people go, oh, what are your favourite 313 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,880 cities in the UK or the country or whatever? 314 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,320 I always talk about Newcastle and Glasgow. 315 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,360 I haven't been to Belfast as much as I'd like to have been 316 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,760 here. But you are right, it's 317 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,160 definitely got a similar vibe and it should be definitely on 318 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,920 that list when I'm talking about it because there's, there's 319 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,520 definitely that here. There's that it's a, it's a 320 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,880 total disregard for the, the authority of establishment. 321 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,720 But it's just like, we don't fucking, we want nothing to do 322 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,120 with any issues. We just want to do our own 323 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,240 thing. Just leave us the fuck alone, 324 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,480 like, and we'll, we'll build it ourselves. 325 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,560 Like, yeah, it's definitely a working class thing, but it's 326 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,040 also there's working class cities that don't have it. 327 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,320 You know what I mean? That that definitely is like 328 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,240 Leeds doesn't have this. Leeds is a working class 329 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,520 Yorkshire town, but Leeds doesn't have this. 330 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,600 He's one of ours and like they're building homegrown 331 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,920 talent and there's not Leeds comedians fill in the Leeds 332 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,880 Arena and then not going to I'm going to Manchester and selling 333 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,360 a few 100 tickets. It's just not. 334 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,520 Happening like no one. I've never overheard anyone go 335 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,840 that fucking lead scenes hot.

With an I envy. 367 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,440 With an I. Yeah, I envy. 368 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,960 I envy. And then it got to the summer 369 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,440 and I think it must have been the EUR, not the World Cup. 370 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,120 But it got to the the summer of 2012. 371 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,720 And the owners of the the the nightclub said to the comedy 372 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,840 promoters, we're going to play every game from the EUR. 373 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,600 So you need to find another venue just for the summer, 374 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,000 right? And Hot Water found a pub called 375 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,920 The Crown and the gigs were just better there. 376 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,920 So they went after the summer they were well, we're not coming 377 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,880 back and envy with human. But they just stayed at the 378 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,240 Crown for a while. Then they moved to the Holiday 379 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:59,600 Inn because it turned out one of the managers of The Crown hadn't 380 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,680 told his superiors that he was running the comedy club and 381 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,840 every penny that the upstairs bar was making, he was just 382 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,240 taken home. Which is fair. 383 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,120 He just got, he got to the company. 384 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,520 Yeah. You take the upstairs room. 385 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,160 He was stocking it with his own alcohol. 386 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,400 Moonshine. Whatever, whatever he could get 387 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,040 his hands on and he's filling it up and then at the end of the 388 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,280 night he's just taking that tail and just no car payments 389 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,280 upstairs, right? Just all for him. 390 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:30,200 You know you wouldn't get that. Coventry that are good people. 391 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,280 I act. Do you know what I'm not even 392 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,040 messing. I think this guy was from 393 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,920 Coventry and I I'm not even joking, I'm like 90% sure his 394 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,600 name was Mick and he was from Coventry. 395 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,760 It sounds. Legit so funny I forgot about 396 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,600 that. That gig was that gig was great. 397 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:48,840 I just went and didn't open spot. 398 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,200 Yeah, well, they packed. So they used to do hot water 399 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,200 starters and it was a Sunday open mic night. 400 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,520 And then they added Fridays in and their Friday wasn't a 401 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,200 professional. Bill, what do you he called it? 402 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,360 Whose headline is it anyway? Right. 403 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,480 And the concept of the show was they have an opener who did like 404 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,400 15 minutes a break and then in the middle section, they have 405 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,200 three acts to 10 minutes. And then after the break, they'd 406 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,560 get the audience to clap for the winner of those 3, and that 407 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,520 winner had to do another 10. Oh OK. 408 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,440 So it was like whoever wins gets to headline the gig. 409 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,680 But what would often happen is you'd get a quite new act who 410 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,240 only had 10 minutes and they'd fucking storm it, take the roof 411 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,800 off, and then they go do another 10 and they'd be there going. 412 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,760 So what do you do? Like they had nothing else to 413 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,880 say. And then they eventually had a 414 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,480 Saturdays in which were professional bills and then not 415 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,400 always it's sort of the gimmick of the Friday then became sort 416 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,480 of a boring and they ran out of a talent pool to do it. 417 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,280 So they made the full weekend in the Crown. 418 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,320 And then the Holiday Inn, the pub in the hotel function room, 419 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,320 which the fact that they made that way is a medical because it 420 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,240 was a sanitised shit room with generic arts on the walls and 421 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,600 stuff where people have like conferences. 422 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,920 Like it was like, I'm like really underfunded weddings. 423 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,160 That's where we were doing comedy for like 4 years and then 424 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,640 they bit the bullet and went it's going to buy a club, we're 425 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,680 going to be Liverpool's first purpose built comedy club. 426 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:26,120 And then a couple of us filmed a couple of things and the clips 427 00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:29,000 went vital. So I remember the start of that. 428 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,760 I'm watching. Yeah, it was mental, like it was 429 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,120 sort of the catalyst for the start of me having a career 430 00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:39,880 above the second. And then they, the owner of the 431 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,040 club just seen it and seen it as an opportunity. 432 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,960 I think he spent something like 25 grand on cameras and we at 433 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,360 the time with all the comics, like, why are you doing this? 434 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:51,280 And he was like, trust me, Yeah, this is the thing to do. 435 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,800 He's like, I'm going to kick the whole fucking venue out and this 436 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,520 is going to be the place people come to film stuff. 437 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,160 We're going to film every show, every bit of compare. 438 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,920 And Paul the compare those we're going to put out and affairs 439 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,840 Paul to compare was like, I don't really want me comparing, 440 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,000 but it's going online, right? Imagine if he'd possibly. 441 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,040 Yeah, yeah, he's a fucking arena comic now. 442 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,680 He sells more tickets than almost anyone else in the UK. 443 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,840 He's doing 3000 seats in Glasgow and doing three night runs. 444 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,560 Like he's massive. And it's all from comparing 445 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,960 clips. And he, he, he compared that gig 446 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:20,920 I did. Yeah. 447 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,920 And he was, I remember being like, that guy is unbelievable 448 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,000 because it didn't feel like he was doing it. 449 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,920 He was just talking about home. He was just talking about this 450 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,040 like what had happened that day in his house. 451 00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:33,560 Yeah, he's, he's, he's fucking unbelievable, Paul. 452 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,800 It's quite funny really, because there's a thing, as much as 453 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,600 working class cities love their own, there's there's a sort of, 454 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,200 it's like a it's a thing to pick people who are doing well 455 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,160 against each other, right. Do you know what I mean? 456 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,880 Oh, 100%. Yeah, so I'll get people 457 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,440 stopping me on a night out. I mean like, you know what, like 458 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,680 you're fucking well better than that ginger cunt. 459 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,360 He's fucking shite. Like all he does is fucking talk 460 00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:03,920 to the crowd and I'll get tweets along the same line or like DMS 461 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,520 or whatever and he gets the same thing. 462 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,520 We just send them to each other and fucking buzz off. 463 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,480 It Me favourite thing to do though, right in the world is 464 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,080 when I get in a taxi and they sort of recognise me. 465 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,240 Like if I get in a taxi, driver goes what you do. 466 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,160 I just say I work in a bar, I can't be asked for the 467 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,440 conversation. But if they go where's where I 468 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,080 know you from lads, I know they're going to figure it out, 469 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,000 even if that and sometimes they have already. 470 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,480 They just don't want to say it. And I go, oh, I'm a comedian, 471 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:29,880 amazing. I've seen a couple of clips. 472 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,880 And then because not everyone knows me and Paul are really, 473 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,160 really good mates. Like how the others hit his 474 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,960 second wedding last week and I was the master of the ceremonies 475 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,440 at the first one. I was one of his two best men. 476 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,640 Like we're closest for, do you know what I mean? 477 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,280 You're getting good bookings at his weddings. 478 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,640 Oh 100%. I got barred from making a 479 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,280 couple of jokes because I wanted to stop by saying give us a 480 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,000 cheat if you've been to one of Paul's weddings before. 481 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,800 Any regular thing? I told a few people I was going 482 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,320 to do that, it's funny, but cleared it with Paul. 483 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,840 And Paul was like, look, normally she'd love that, but 484 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:11,360 today just just don't. So I made a different joke about 485 00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:12,680 how he was punched above his waist. 486 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,880 I was like, it just goes show. It doesn't matter what you look 487 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,480 like, as long as you've got love in your heart, hope in your soul 488 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,240 and a Lamborghini, someone will fuck. 489 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,080 Yeah, there was a. Yeah, which, by the way, is way 490 00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:27,080 harsher than the first joke. Yeah, but it's. 491 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,360 It is. But it's harsh on him and it's 492 00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:30,120 on him. Yeah. 493 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,920 Like the first one is like you're not his first wife. 494 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,240 It's at an expense, isn't it? There was. 495 00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:40,680 I was going to say something else because his face, when his 496 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,240 face managed didn't last very long. 497 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,880 So I was going to say, you just look on Paul, you look at Paul 498 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,760 and Lodi and you just know that it's going to last longer than 499 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,040 his first manage. And if we give it an hour and a 500 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,640 half, we'll know for sure. And I was, I was so close to 501 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,600 doing that one and one of the mates going through, he was 502 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,480 like, lads just don't yeah, like what? 503 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,120 What? What is the benefit to risk 504 00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:03,440 ratio? Yeah, of course. 505 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,960 You're going to get a decent laugh, but you could ruin the 506 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,240 wedding. And I was like, yeah, OK. 507 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,680 Which might have made Dave did to everyone who listened to 508 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:15,960 podcast knows Dave Elliott did a best minded friend's wedding in 509 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:20,320 New York, made a vet and it wasn't about the bride or groom. 510 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,280 Someone at the wedding. He made a joke based on 511 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,240 something that was in the press about that person and at the 512 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,520 time. And he said, I said, did it go 513 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,760 down well? He's like I kill. 514 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,720 I definitely killed the vibe and ruined the day. 515 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,200 But it was in New York. So we had to just be in New York 516 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,720 for like that whole day and the day after he's like, there was 517 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,880 no escape. He couldn't just drive away and 518 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,200 not be there. He's like, it just stayed with 519 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,640 us in New York. And when he taught he's like 520 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:47,280 Jing. It was bad. 521 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,840 I was like, it was specifically about a court case that somebody 522 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,360 was going through. I mean, it was the it's the 523 00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:53,800 worst. My dad speech at my wedding 524 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,360 definitely crossed the line. Like my dad, it didn't really, 525 00:24:58,360 --> 00:25:02,920 but my dad said the phrase decky boots for condoms. 526 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,240 My dad said I've always told Shane. 527 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,920 Like his first line I think was I've always told Shane any 528 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,280 advice I can give my life is make sure you wear a Dickie boot 529 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:17,120 and never wear socks in bed. And that was people were like I 530 00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:19,520 saw people at tables being like, what is the Dickie boot? 531 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,520 And then the worked aloud. But my dad will say Dickie boot 532 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,200 and I'm like don't just on my wedding don't say Dickie boot. 533 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,440 Say, if I was, if I was to get married tomorrow, right? 534 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,360 Yeah. By the time the speeches come 535 00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:34,240 around, if my dad tried to do a speech, it'll be so fucking 536 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,760 drunk, right? It'll just be belligerent. 537 00:25:37,360 --> 00:25:39,480 He'll just be recognising people he hasn't quite clocked on to 538 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:47,800 the fact that they're yeah, yeah, he'll just be 15 to 20 539 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,800 minutes.

The reason I brought Paul up 568 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,480 before is what one of my favourite things I with people 569 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,880 trying to piss us against each other is when people don't know 570 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,680 we're that close and I get in a taxi. 571 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,920 Yeah, and then you're comedian. Yeah, yeah. 572 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,440 And then they start slagging Paul off because what I do is I 573 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:16,640 join in for the length of the journey and then as I leave the 574 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,280 taxi, I tell them that we're best friends, right. 575 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,360 Yeah, just to ruin some taxi drivers fucking day. 576 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,880 So I'll let I'll be like how that change that change that. 577 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,880 Do you know him?

What do you think of him? 580 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,560 So for me really, yeah, I'm not. I just think it's for write a 581 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,080 fucking joke. Like not every fucking. 582 00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:41,440 It doesn't have to be all about the job. 583 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:42,960 I'm like, I know mate, fucking does. 584 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,320 I'm working on my ass off, you know. 585 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,000 I'm writing an hour after hour to stand up and he's just up 586 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,440 there just trying to fucking make it about and I'll do it for 587 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,920 the full 20 minute taxi ride.

Yeah, like there's no. 596 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,440 And there's just this like, and this is, this has been within 597 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:15,960 the industry more than anything else for a while. 598 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,560 There's always been like this famine mentality with success, 599 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,320 which is like there's a finite amount of it available. 600 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,440 So if Paul's doing well, I can't be, we can both possibly be 601 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,400 doing all right. It's just not the case. 602 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,040 No, that's definitely a thing here. 603 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,560 Yeah, like that's definitely a thing here. 604 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,040 Or like you put a show on sale and someone's like he's not 605 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,640 happy because, you know, he's got a show. 606 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,080 Six months after that, it's all good. 607 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,200 People want to come and see everything. 608 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,000 Yeah, it'll be really, really well. 609 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,920 But yeah, the scene in Liverpool, like it, it genuinely 610 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,160 is my favourite place to tour because it's it's always going 611 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,640 to be good.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. 654 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,000 I was a little bit more when maybe when I was younger. 655 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,080 But will you stay up? Will you stay out regularly like 656 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,840 past men? If you if you're off, you start 657 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:53,520 past midnight. I can't even tell if you're 658 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,240 joking. I swear what you're what you're 659 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,000 suggesting as a lifestyle is so alien to me. 660 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,640 I feel like you're taking the piss, right? 661 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,800 Right. If I'm in bed before 1:00 at 662 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,480 night, like 1:00 in the morning, right, there's something's 663 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,160 happened. So if I'm in bed before 1:00 AM, 664 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,880 it means like the night before I've had no sleep because I've 665 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,680 been out late or like I've been up to something on a long drive 666 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:24,320 back or whatever, or I've had a horrific day or I'm sick. 667 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:29,360 If I'm asleep before 1:00 AM, like if I get in bed at half 668 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,840 two, I'm like.

I'm always trying to avoid the 671 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:37,920 devil. I think the devil comes out 672 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,800 about 11:00 PM, so if I can get to sleep before he's a boy. 673 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:48,480 In The Devil of Best Mates.

Yeah, it's a basement. 723 00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:18,520 Venue best comedy clubs are yeah, it should the original hot 724 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,239 water just a little side note here was in an attic right 725 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,600 right. But they built it This is how 726 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,520 much attention they put into their venues right? 727 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,920 They built it so that so they had a full level floor like this 728 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,760 and they built three steps up so that you had to come down 3 to 729 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,440 get into the gig room from the bar so that it felt like you 730 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,960 were going down. So they had a perfectly flat 731 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,040 entire floor of a building and they built it up. 732 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,199 You literally went up three steps just to come down to go 733 00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:49,480 from the bar area into the gig room. 734 00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:53,199 Because Binti, who like designs the clubs, was like people are 735 00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:55,360 in the best frame of mind if they've gone down into a comedy 736 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,680 club. He's like I'm turning me attic 737 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,080 into a basement one way or another. 738 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,160 It's it's in the basement, there's a fire. 739 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,680 Everyone's out in the street. I'm weird about, I don't know, 740 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,760 you're like with this. I don't really like the audience 741 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,160 to see me before a show. Definitely takes a bit of shine 742 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,200 off. There, it's just something where 743 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,880 like also you'll get into that way like people might be like 744 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,720 and you totally understand. They're like, oh, can I grab a 745 00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:23,240 photo or you're doing the thing that you would do after before. 746 00:35:23,240 --> 00:35:25,520 I just don't like that order. I like to them to just not see. 747 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,840 I'm 100% like it on that. So if I have to, like, walk 748 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,520 through the venue to get to the dressing room and the audience 749 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,800 at the end, yeah. And people ask me photos, I just 750 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,720 say no. I go, we'll do it after the 751 00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:37,840 show. Yeah, do it. 752 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:38,600 After the show. Yeah. 753 00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:41,000 And never say yes because if you do one, you're going to do 50. 754 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:42,760 Yeah. And you're right. 755 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,240 And that's. I don't some comics these days 756 00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:47,640 open for that opener. Yeah, yeah. 757 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,640 Go on and compare and then bring that opener up and then the 758 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,200 opener. Then they have a break and then 759 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,240 they go back home. And that definitely makes the 760 00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:57,200 openers night better. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 761 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,520 And I couldn't give a fuck. Yeah. 762 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,120 I'm operating human shape because. 763 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,480 The first time you're all in, see. 764 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,240 Yeah, if they're fans, which one? 765 00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:07,360 You're selling tickets? They are. 766 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:08,480 That's who you're performing too. 767 00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:10,960 The first time they see you, they're excited. 768 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,120 The second time they're happy, they're not excited. 769 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,080 And that excitement makes the 1st 20 minutes of your show 770 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:18,960 better. It just does. 771 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,160 And I want that in my bed, not in the fucking openness. 772 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,800 But you're here to make it easier for me. 773 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,200 Like otherwise I don't need you. Like if I'm not going to have 774 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,640 you, I'm actually just fucking open for myself and I'm going to 775 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,600 give you the easier gig. I'll save your fucking hotel, 776 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:39,240 your flight and your I'm not opening. 777 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,160 I'm not opening for the opener. This is your job. 778 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,600 Would you not just introduce me? No, fuck, go on. 779 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,960 I'm having a kid. I do the off stage mic. 780 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,640 I do most of the. Time in a different voice so 781 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,800 people don't think I pick a different accent every night. 782 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,440 I do that most of the time because I think they like that 783 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,240 and I'll make sure they know what to make sure I'll be like 784 00:37:01,240 --> 00:37:02,960 what's happening. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you 785 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,200 so much for packing this place out. 786 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,080 Please make some noise for my mates and you're open and act 787 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,560 whoever it is. Yeah, for the majority of the 788 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:10,880 tour. You'll say that word for word. 789 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,760 Whoever this comes is, I'm sure he's good. 790 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,280 Thomas Green has done the majority of this talk. 791 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,160 He's been great. But like sometimes, like last 792 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:22,880 night, this week has been fucking crazy. 793 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,240 I told you about the schedule before and Middlesbrough 794 00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:27,720 yesterday we had no hotel in Middlesbrough because we were 795 00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:29,320 driving straight back to Liverpool afterwards. 796 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,160 So. I thought you were waiting for 797 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,040 that dip again. I didn't get me after the. 798 00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:35,680 Dip. So hold on, let me get this 799 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,040 straight. You stay. 800 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,800 So you stay up late at night, late at night, you get up late 801 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,760 in the day. You said if you're up before 10, 802 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,520 that's. No, that was, I was just, I was 803 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,040 doing a little ha, ha. So normally I'm up between 9:00 804 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,920 and 10:00, OK? That's normal. 805 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,560 That's normal for me. OK. 806 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,400 But then you'll all judge me. But then you'll all know. 807 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,360 But I will when you say that you'll also nap. 808 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,360 Yeah, I will if I'm not every day. 21 hours sleep a day. 809 00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:05,000 No, don't think about what I'm saying. 810 00:38:05,240 --> 00:38:08,440 Yeah, right. It's common for me to be in bed 811 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,400 around 3, right? Between 2:00 and 3:00. 812 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,280 So let's take the earliest side of that, just to be generous to 813 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:15,720 you, Right. Thank you. 814 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,080 Right. That's 2:00 AM, right. 815 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,920 And then let's say I get up as late as possible, which is 10. 816 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,720 That means I've only had eight hours and I don't sleep well, 817 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:25,560 I'm not, I'm not a consistent sleeper. 818 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,760 I'll wake up 3 or 4 times and not sleep, right? 819 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,400 So it's not a solid 8 hours. I think that's God's way of 820 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,240 saying go to bed. Yeah, maybe it is. 821 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,720 Well fuck you and fuck him as well, OK? 822 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,760 I'll go to bed when I once keep disrupting me sleep. 823 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,520 I'm rebellious, OK? That's what it is. 824 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,280 It's rebellion. So let's say, let's, let's say I 825 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,320 only get seven or six to seven hours sleep there. 826 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,200 That's not enough. It's just not. 827 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,120 I need 8. So in the afternoon 828 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,920 occasionally, not every day, but if I've got time, I'll have a 829 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:57,000 little, you know, if I'm in a hotel, I'll go out throughout 830 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:58,520 the day. I'll get up, go and have 831 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,480 breakfast. I'll go if the hotel's got a 832 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,120 swimming pool and a steam, I'd love a little bit of that. 833 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,160 Go and do that. I'll go, I'm a bad for retail 834 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,760 therapy, not what makes me happy and I'm buying myself something, 835 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,760 right? So I'll go local shops in 836 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,160 whatever city I'm in, especially if they've got like a decent 837 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:19,200 training place where they sell like red or like whatever, like 838 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,920 a street wear store. I'll go down those places, buy 839 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,800 myself a couple of things, get back to the hotel and I've got 840 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,560 hours before the show. So often I'll just put a bit of 841 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,640 Netflix on and I'll just have a little 20 minutes. 842 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,360 And I needed that yesterday because the night before 843 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,760 yesterday, so yesterday was Middlesbrough, the night before 844 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,920 was in Newcastle and we went out afterwards. 845 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,080 Now I'm a big Liverpool fan, meet me tour manager Carl and me 846 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,240 best mates is a big, big Everton fan. 847 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,240 And Everton fan had just secured their fighting relegation. 848 00:39:47,240 --> 00:39:49,760 They were staying up so he was made-up, so we were going to 849 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,360 have a few drinks and then he was like, come on, he's he's his 850 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,040 little face. He was dead happy and I don't 851 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:56,160 hate ever. And I'm not one of those 852 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,360 Liverpool fans. I, I enjoy the Derby and I 853 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,640 wanted them to stay up. I'd quite like evidence to just 854 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:05,320 in perpetuity be 16th or 17th. Just a constant wave of misery 855 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:06,200 for that entire. Life. 856 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,320 I want a good run and then no. No, no, you're always just over. 857 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,720 Like I want them to look dead sets for relegation every year 858 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,920 and always just about stay up. That's my idea, because then I 859 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,040 still get to play them twice a year. 860 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,160 Then we also get to beat them twice a year and they they have 861 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,200 no joy apart from the last game of the season where they just 862 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,040 about stay up and that's because I don't hate them. 863 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,240 So we went out in Newcastle. So get up the next day. 864 00:40:32,240 --> 00:40:35,480 You'd a bit ropey, but I've I've had next to no sleep and either 865 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,920 the nap yesterday. So while we support that was on 866 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,680 and half an hour before that in the dressing room. 867 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,120 I just there was a big couch. I just had an hour, was killed. 868 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,840 See, I worry about waking up all the shorts. 869 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,360 No, that's my sleep alarm. I could, you could wake me up, 870 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,160 you could wake me up and go and I'll see it on now and I'll be 871 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,560 fine. I'll be absolutely fine. 872 00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,440 In fact, I might be at the top of the game. 873 00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:02,480 I do know comedians that do that. 874 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,920 I do have a little sleep before.

And there were all those Channel 947 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,400 5 documentaries. It is real, real wrestling. 948 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,720 And but we all thought WWE and WWF, yeah, like what it 949 00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:35,720 originally was.

I was still going to have to 1034 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,680 perform it on fire. And I got the point where I was 1035 00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:45,080 like, I don't want to do it. I don't want to do it. 1036 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,200 I think it's wrong. And then I came full circle and 1037 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,240 was like, actually this is mad.

It's bedtime and it's caused 1041 00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,720 past bedtime. I had those, if you noticed, I 1042 00:48:58,720 --> 00:49:00,400 don't wear glasses, but eyeglasses on, you know, those 1043 00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,600 painted on ice machine. What do you want to do about 1044 00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:03,800 this? I was just against the lamp. 1045 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,840 I was gone. I was out for the count, but I 1046 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,280 didn't want to do it. And then I was like, yes, you 1047 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:13,080 know what, This is going to be fun to talk about why I'm in 1048 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:14,560 Liverpool now. Let's just do it. 1049 00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,760 And it's one of those ones where it's like, I'm up now, I'm up 1050 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:19,080 now. We're not going to get to sleep 1051 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,160 early. Yeah, I've, I've worked that 1052 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:22,440 out.

So we thought, right, let's 1055 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,440 let's not do an interval. Victorio did literally 5 minutes 1056 00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,040 at the start. And I went on and it was the 1057 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,720 best show of the year of for me it was. 1058 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,360 But it's always, always going to be. 1059 00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:45,280 Because I here was my fear. The only thing we can talk about 1060 00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,920 at this show is the fire. And I've got an R and I've 1061 00:49:48,240 --> 00:49:51,000 worked on this tour show and I want to give you and I, I love 1062 00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,040 going away from the material. So I'm going to do that a bit. 1063 00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:55,880 But I was like everyone just going to. 1064 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,280 And I did maybe 5-7 minutes at the start about the fire, 1065 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,640 talking to the audience, telling the story from my point of view, 1066 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,320 and then just did the gig. And it was unbelievable. 1067 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,480 It was so good. And the next morning, yes, I was 1068 00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,480 a cranky bear, but I was like that. 1069 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,960 I'm so glad I did that. Yeah, you've got like the. 1070 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:16,600 Photos of sound outside Fire Brigades standing with the 1071 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,760 audience. Story in it I saw to try and 1072 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,520 live by what will make it a better story in five years. 1073 00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,560 That's how I try making decisions now. 1074 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:25,600 That means I often lose money gambling. 1075 00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:30,680 I think it's quite an interesting ways to live your 1076 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,240 life rather than playing it safe all the time. 1077 00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,920 Certain times where you go, what's better here if you don't 1078 00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,320 have to bed that night, you've been gutted that you didn't try 1079 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:38,880 and do it. I think you should always try 1080 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,400 and do it. I also for me stand up in 1081 00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,280 particular is supposed to be rough and it's supposed to be 1082 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,840 problems and there's supposed to be you're supposed to like 1083 00:50:47,240 --> 00:50:50,680 comedy works better than shit holes rather than really like 1084 00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:55,640 given like a theatre gig in like a it's a really sanitised venues 1085 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:56,680 where they have like conferences. 1086 00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:58,320 Council venue. Yeah, yeah. 1087 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:03,000 Like it just feels a bit too nice to do what we do. 1088 00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,680 Like a fucking dark basement. Yeah, that like there's a 1089 00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,440 fucking air con dripping at the back on a season. 1090 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:10,960 There's big. Smouldering as well. 1091 00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:15,640 There's there's Ambers. Like these candles? 1092 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:21,040 That's our annual fire. Yeah, we do this once a year. 1093 00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,520 Yeah, I think, I think stand ups should be about those weird 1094 00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:29,280 shows where matches happens. What's the, what's the worst 1095 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:30,760 tour situation you've got yourself into? 1096 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:34,280 Like if you got yourself into like a show, we've got a massive 1097 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:38,920 problem with the venue. You're I won last year. 1098 00:51:39,240 --> 00:51:41,440 No, I I haven't got a story along those lines. 1099 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,520 What happens? I won last year where we were 1100 00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,480 doing an outdoor tour and it was brilliant. 1101 00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,680 It was like you're able to do things again and every night the 1102 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,840 weather was unreal. So if it was shit the night 1103 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:56,280 before, overcast or raining, whatever way it worked, I think 1104 00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,520 it's because I go to bed early, God help me out and just made 1105 00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:00,960 the wet. Like if you were doing to be 1106 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:04,480 storm, it'll be. But anyway, the the weather was 1107 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,640 always good and it was it was. There were proper outdoor gigs 1108 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:12,800 and we did a big one, but 400 people, council theatre, council 1109 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,720 venue. And at the mall I was bringing 2 1110 00:52:14,720 --> 00:52:17,640 openers doing 15 minutes each. I was doing roughly an hour 1111 00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:21,960 after a break and we got to this one and someone from the council 1112 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,120 that ran the venue was like, yeah, So what time do you want 1113 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,120 to start at? I said you want to start at 8. 1114 00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:28,800 She said you got to start at half eight. 1115 00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,120 I said yeah, it's fine. And you talk about like a job's 1116 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,080 worth. Then she was like, yeah, and 1117 00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,840 your performance, this has to be 3/2 and 1/2 or three hours. 1118 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,760 I was like, no, that's not, that's not what this is. 1119 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:40,920 Like. No one would want that. 1120 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,400 So I was like, we'll do 220 minute sets break. 1121 00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:47,040 I'll do an R. She was like, Nah, your contract 1122 00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,040 stipulates you have to do this amount of time. 1123 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:53,320 And it was just before I went on stage and we had like management 1124 00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:59,400 involved tears, not mine arguments, all sorts got to the 1125 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:03,560 point where I had to just ring medians and go you bite me. 1126 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:05,720 Fancy coming on pod the show a bit. 1127 00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:09,840 We had I was then told this there's been you do have to do. 1128 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:13,040 We compromise like 2 1/2 hours and shout out to Jordan 1129 00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:14,240 Robinson, who's a comedian from here. 1130 00:53:14,240 --> 00:53:16,400 He's done hot water a few times. I phoned him up. 1131 00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,720 I was like, where you at? He's like, I'm doing a shop in 1132 00:53:18,720 --> 00:53:21,480 Tesco's. The kid just abound the trolley 1133 00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,880 in Tesco's doing his big shop. He says like some kind of like a 1134 00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,920 doomsday movie, like people just saw this trolley like. 1135 00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,280 Slowly moving down. Moving down the tin suit aisle 1136 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,720 and he just got in his car. He was there in 7 minutes and we 1137 00:53:33,720 --> 00:53:35,160 end up doing it and it was brilliant. 1138 00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:38,360 But like, you know, yeah, tours like that Liverpool thing was 1139 00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,000 the first one for me where it was like a wild thing on tour. 1140 00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,280 And that, that other story was the only problem of that. 1141 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:47,120 But by and large, tours run. So on on two sides of that 1142 00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,040 story. First of all, I like how 1143 00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:53,280 comedies go when at the minute in like sort of on this side of 1144 00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,800 the the Atlanta, because I think I met I could have had it so 1145 00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,840 much better for a long time where they're a lot free over 1146 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,440 there. Like over here it's been you 1147 00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:04,800 have an opener, you have a break and then you do show and it's 1148 00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:05,840 fucking done. Yeah. 1149 00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,160 And that's just doesn't cut it anymore. 1150 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,400 Yeah. Like it should be a bit more fun 1151 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,040 and free and like there's been times on this tour, but I've got 1152 00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:14,840 me opener. But like, I made some minds 1153 00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:18,200 being in town, and some of them are like, way too big to be open 1154 00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:19,120 for me. Yeah, Yeah. 1155 00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,520 But they're like, today I'm like, do you want to just do 10? 1156 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,000 Yeah. And I do that for anyone, any of 1157 00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,120 my mates, if I'm in town and they're like, I'm doing me talk 1158 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,800 show 25 or 10 minutes or whatever they want, I'll fucking 1159 00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:30,320 do that. Yeah. 1160 00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,040 Because that's funnier to do and surprise the audience and 1161 00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,040 whatever. I'm doing a corporate 40 minute 1162 00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:36,720 corporate tonight. You fancy doing half an hour? 1163 00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:43,960 Absolutely. And that's also where I draw the 1164 00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,320 line on corporates. I've never done more than half 1165 00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:47,640 an hour of corporate. I never will team. 1166 00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,000 So whenever they get in touch, like everyone used to do an 1167 00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,000 hour, like I know you think you do, you don't actually. 1168 00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:53,080 Do. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't. 1169 00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,760 The jobs were thing I've had that before where people are 1170 00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:01,040 like, no, we have to do it this way and I've I could never do a 1171 00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:02,760 normal job. I was never destined for that 1172 00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:07,840 because I've got absolutely zero respect for authority and 1173 00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,000 especially people like that. No, it has to be done this way. 1174 00:55:10,240 --> 00:55:12,560 It doesn't. And I know John, no it doesn't 1175 00:55:12,720 --> 00:55:15,280 because we're not and I'm not going to do it. 1176 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:19,920 And I know it's more likely that you get fired than my show gets 1177 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:24,080 cancelled because there's 1000 people who paid £20 a ticket. 1178 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,920 They're going to want the show to go ahead and so does your 1179 00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,760 boss. So compromise and do a fucking 1180 00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:31,840 now. Now it has to be done. 1181 00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,240 It doesn't. It doesn't have to be done like 1182 00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:35,800 that. Absolutely he does not. 1183 00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,880 I know it doesn't because I was in a different venue last night 1184 00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,760 with the same contract and they were fine. 1185 00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,080 You'll be fine. So stop it, Janet. 1186 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,960 Can you come with me on tour? See, I won't do this. 1187 00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,360 I'll just hand it off to someone else there figured it out 1188 00:55:51,720 --> 00:55:55,360 because it can always be figured out and jobs where to like now, 1189 00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:57,240 honestly, we have to do it this way. 1190 00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,440 Things have to be done this way. It just doesn't. 1191 00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:04,040 You can, I'm doing my tour show in Liverpool next week. 1192 00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,240 So we're doing 2 nights at the film on a call stolen venue. 1193 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,080 I'm really happy to be there and the staff have been for the 1194 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:11,760 large part with it. Amazing. 1195 00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:15,520 And that's what I said, my admin skills are quite shit, but like 1196 00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,800 there was one bit. So with our podcast that we do, 1197 00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:22,320 we give our patrons early access to our tour tickets. 1198 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,000 Yeah, 48 hours, right. So every other venue was like, 1199 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:26,960 yeah, we'll send you the link 48 hours in advance. 1200 00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:31,080 It won't go live on the SEO to be found until two days later. 1201 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:32,960 It's great. Let's build, fill them on a 1202 00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:36,040 call. I was like, I need a link 48 1203 00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,320 hours before it goes public. They're like, well, we give our 1204 00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:41,000 members 48 hours early access. And I was like, great, just send 1205 00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:42,560 me that link and I'll put it on page. 1206 00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,520 And they were like, can't do that because what if our members 1207 00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,080 like, sell it out? And I was like, well, it's not 1208 00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:49,120 going to happen, is it? Yeah. 1209 00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:52,400 And they were like, no, we can't because our members get really 1210 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:53,960 pissed off if they find out the links being shared. 1211 00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:57,400 I was like, they'll never know. They will literally never know. 1212 00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,080 Yeah, I was like, so what's the solution here? 1213 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,960 They went, oh, those we'll give you 400 tickets and you can just 1214 00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:07,080 sell them through an external site Skittle I use and then 1215 00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,160 we'll allocate them. Don't worry about it. 1216 00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:12,640 So I was like right OK their members access to my toy show 1217 00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:20,360 sold 2 tickets, 1700 seats of venue right? 1218 00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:24,760 They gave me 400 tickets for my presale which sold out in 11 1219 00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:26,720 minutes and we could have done a lot more if they just sent me 1220 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,480 the fucking link. But the members would have the 1221 00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:32,880 format two members. Imagine in total there is 4 1222 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,920 members. So a couple of weeks ago, they 1223 00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:38,640 got in touch and they're like, what are we doing about those 1224 00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:41,120 400 tickets you've got? And I was like, I don't know. 1225 00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:42,680 Yeah. And they're like, right, well, 1226 00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:43,960 we need to distribute those tickets. 1227 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,440 And I was like, cool, crack on, yeah, yeah. 1228 00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:48,800 And they're like, you need to get in touch with Skittle 1229 00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:50,880 because they're going to have to send out the tickets for us. 1230 00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:55,040 And I was like, right, OK. And then they got Skittle come 1231 00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,160 back and was like, right, it's too late for that now. 1232 00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,240 Really. So we're going to, for us to do 1233 00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,080 that, it's going to charge us. You're going to be charged £3.50 1234 00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,440 a ticket. And I was like, right, so that's 1235 00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,920 £1400. And they're like, yeah, well, 1236 00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:09,880 I'm not paying that. So speak to the venue because 1237 00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:13,040 this was all that idea and figure out between yourselves 1238 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:14,720 the venue, come back. I'm like, no, it's on the artist 1239 00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:16,560 to sort this. So we're going to have to, Adam, 1240 00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:17,760 you're going to have to cover it. 1241 00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,880 So I seen those emails and if I ever see this podcast, I'll be 1242 00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:26,520 maybe in a bit of trouble. One of the members might I love. 1243 00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:30,520 Averages I I was like, right, OK, cool. 1244 00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:32,960 I was like, I've read the emails and I thought, you know what I'm 1245 00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:37,040 going to do? I'm just going to not reply, I'm 1246 00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:40,560 going to ignore this problem and I guarantee it'll go away if I 1247 00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,560 just pretend it doesn't exist, right? 1248 00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:47,280 Because I'm not paying £1400. That isn't happening, so. 1249 00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,160 Still. Unresolved, right? 1250 00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:53,200 They rang me yesterday, fill them on a call and they're like, 1251 00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:54,800 what are we doing about these tickets? 1252 00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:55,840 I was like, oh, do you know what? 1253 00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:57,960 I've had a really busy week. I've been behind on me. 1254 00:58:57,960 --> 00:58:59,520 I've been, I haven't actually had a chance to read those 1255 00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:00,840 emails. What's the current thing? 1256 00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:05,280 And they went, well, if you download the the Skittle data of 1257 00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:07,240 everyone who's bought the tickets that'll have that 1258 00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:09,480 address, that name and that e-mail address on, if you just 1259 00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:12,520 send that to us, we'll just distribute them free of charge. 1260 00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:18,400 And I went, yeah, no problem. So your advice to me is just. 1261 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:19,600 Ignore a problem. Ignore. 1262 00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,280 Go away. Yes, medically, every. 1263 00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,440 All of it. I don't open mail. 1264 00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:33,400 I can't remember the last time I opened the brown envelope, and 1265 00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:35,680 it's white. I'll open it because that could 1266 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:37,760 be like, you know, whatever. Yeah. 1267 00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:41,440 And if it's blue or pink, I'll open it because that's probably 1268 00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:43,480 a birthday card that got lost in the mail and might have £20 in 1269 00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:47,600 it. A brown envelope, honestly, is 1270 00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,040 the most terrifying thing in the world to me. 1271 00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:50,040 What? Why? 1272 00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,040 Why is anyone opening? That, but it would terrify me to 1273 00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,960 not to just not open it. Yeah, but I don't want to know 1274 00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:57,200 what it is. It's not good news. 1275 00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,200 It's not going to improve my day. 1276 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:02,320 I I live my life on a day-to-day basis. 1277 01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:03,440 You could die tonight. Yeah. 1278 01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:04,960 I'm unhealthy. I drink a lot. 1279 01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,600 I don't eat very well. I could be 12 hours away from a 1280 01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:09,560 stroke. Do I want to spend those 12 1281 01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:13,200 hours knowing that I missed a parking ticket and that it's now 1282 01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:16,200 £500? Or do I want to live in ignorant 1283 01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:17,520 place? Yeah, I know. 1284 01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,840 I will not open mail. When I'll open it is when it 1285 01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,520 comes with a red stamp on it. And I'm like, right now it's a 1286 01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:25,560 serious problem. Yeah. 1287 01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:26,960 And then I'll open it. Yeah. 1288 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,360 Yeah. Until then, I've just got no 1289 01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:33,680 interest in any letters. I don't get why. 1290 01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:35,720 And I don't know. I can't get my head around the 1291 01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:37,280 mentality of someone getting a brown letter going. 1292 01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:41,760 Oh, why? It's self sabotage. 1293 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,520 That's what they're doing, not what I'm doing. 1294 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:50,200 It's it's you've got to be insane to get a letter in a 1295 01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:53,760 brown envelope and and be any and other than dismissive of it. 1296 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:58,320 Yeah, I just can't do it. Talk to me about the podcast. 1297 01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:02,120 So have a word because I follow you. 1298 01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,360 I know you. I kind of saw that, saw the 1299 01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,160 formation of it. So like you were doing it. 1300 01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,200 I'm already saying in in the spare and dance spare room. 1301 01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:11,600 That's why it's not our Dan. You're done. 1302 01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:15,720 Yeah. And was it, was it over locked 1303 01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:17,400 on or is it before you started? No. 1304 01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:21,480 So Dan had wanted to start a podcast for years. 1305 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:23,880 He actually had one in the past called In the House, which is 1306 01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,360 good. And then he started a new one. 1307 01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:28,400 He bought the equipment. He bought a couple of cameras. 1308 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:31,240 His cameras at the time were not for the full episodes. 1309 01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:33,480 He was just doing them for the odd clip or whatever. 1310 01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:37,760 And he started a podcast called the Hack Radio Pod, which was 1311 01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:41,720 essentially his marketing of it was as a comedian, you're not 1312 01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:43,720 allowed to be a hack. But no one's ever said that's 1313 01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:47,200 the rule of podcasting. So we're going to make a shit 1314 01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:53,520 hack radio show with sound bites and regular like listeners 1315 01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,000 calling in and stuff. And he wants to do it that way. 1316 01:01:56,680 --> 01:02:02,320 And I, I think I was guest like 5 on his podcast and he knew I 1317 01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:04,160 was interested in starting. So I was in the process of 1318 01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:06,800 buying the equipment myself. So I was going to start a solo 1319 01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:09,040 podcast sort of like this. And when I'm interviewing 1320 01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:10,880 comedians and fucking around doing whatever I want. 1321 01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,440 And I was also going to be using it to sort of formulate new 1322 01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:16,120 material. I wanted to just rant and try 1323 01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:18,080 and remember the funny stuff and then take it on stage. 1324 01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:20,000 That was me plan. And I still might do that. 1325 01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:21,320 To be honest. I might do a little separate 1326 01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:27,280 thing once we told them I want a new project, but mine and Dan's 1327 01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:30,280 episode of the hack radio pod, his friend rang him and was 1328 01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,480 like, look, you should carry on doing the hack radio, but fine. 1329 01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,800 But you and Adam should do something because this is just 1330 01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:37,480 so much better than the other four you've done. 1331 01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,720 And I'm not saying it's Adam, I'm saying it's you 2 together 1332 01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:44,840 something there. So he got in touch with me and I 1333 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:49,240 said to my girlfriend at the time, Dan wants to her podcast 1334 01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:52,600 with me and she went do it. And I went, what you mean do it? 1335 01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:56,000 She went, you're not going to do 1, right? 1336 01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,320 She went, you might eventually, but you won't stick with it. 1337 01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:01,720 She's like, you might eventually, but initially you 1338 01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:03,480 won't stick with it. It'll be two or three projects 1339 01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:04,640 and you'll eventually find something. 1340 01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:07,360 But you're a lot better if you're accountable to someone 1341 01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:08,640 and you'll be accountable to that. 1342 01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:11,120 She was like, if you've got to be somewhere, you'll be there. 1343 01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:13,400 As long as it's not you, you're letting down. 1344 01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:15,200 So be accountable to Dan and do it. 1345 01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:18,920 And I was like, right, OK. And it was her advice really. 1346 01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:20,680 That really resonates. I was like, she's absolutely 1347 01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:24,960 fucking right, annoyingly. So we started, we we put an idea 1348 01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:26,600 together. We call they have a word. 1349 01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:29,600 The idea was there was a lot of podcasts at the time that do 1350 01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:31,760 like an agony and section. Yeah, yeah. 1351 01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,920 And we were like, there's a reason that works because it's 1352 01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:38,080 easy for people to write in, but how can we flip it a little bit? 1353 01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,160 So the idea was people can write in and we will have a word with 1354 01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:44,680 their friends on their behalf rather than giving them advice. 1355 01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:47,480 It's like me mates doing this, will you have a word? 1356 01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,440 But right. And that became the title 1357 01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:50,400 feature. We had a couple of other 1358 01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:54,600 features as well. And we started in January of 1359 01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:58,360 2020. We launched, we'd don't like 3 1360 01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,360 pilot episodes that we just put in the can and we eventually 1361 01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,440 released them on Patreon as like bonuses. 1362 01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:09,560 And then the coronavirus come around, COVID. 1363 01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:13,720 And at the time, I was still going to dance every week to do 1364 01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,000 the podcast. And I don't know whether you 1365 01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,800 remember just before that first lockdown, the idea of going into 1366 01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:21,920 a lockdown was hilarious. Yeah. 1367 01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:25,560 It was. It was just so far from feasible 1368 01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:27,680 that everyone in the country was going to be locked in their 1369 01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:29,040 homes. We were all like, yeah, that's 1370 01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,880 not going to happen. So we, as a joke, said if we go 1371 01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:34,880 into a lockdown, we will do have a word every day. 1372 01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:37,600 First of all, thinking the lockdown had never happened. 1373 01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:40,680 And second of all, thinking if it does, no one will want that. 1374 01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:41,520 Yeah. Yeah. 1375 01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:43,560 And then it did happen. And then our listeners went. 1376 01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:45,640 So every day. Yeah. 1377 01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,120 So we had six days a week. We had Mondays to Saturday, 1378 01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:53,200 every week, Sundays off. There was days where the last 1379 01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,440 person I wanted to speak to on the planet was Dan Nightingale, 1380 01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:57,880 and vice versa. We're just looking at each other 1381 01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:00,720 like I've got to have another fucking entertaining 1382 01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:03,600 conversation with you, but nothing left to say to you. 1383 01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:05,160 Yeah. Six days in a week. 1384 01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,120 When was the last time you had 6 hour long conversations with the 1385 01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:13,600 same person saying no? And that kept us going 1386 01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:15,960 throughout that first lockdown. At the end of the first 1387 01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:22,400 lockdown, we saw a sort of glare and gap in the UK podcast market 1388 01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:24,960 that was already sort of happening in America. 1389 01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:27,520 We were like, we should be the first one over there to get our 1390 01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:29,320 own studio. Now obviously there's podcast 1391 01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:32,560 that recording studios in the UK, yeah, but they went their 1392 01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:34,320 own. They were all hiding like a. 1393 01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:37,800 Generic comedy club, studio or. Yeah, so we were like, let's get 1394 01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,920 a fucking room in somewhere, shit, somewhere cheap. 1395 01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:44,080 We settle for Runcorn because it was halfway between between 1396 01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:47,200 Miles and Duns. Decked it out, made it look. 1397 01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:49,760 So the videos have become quite as iconic. 1398 01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,040 You know, if I, if you, if I have a weird clip comes up on 1399 01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:53,640 your phone, you know what you're watching. 1400 01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:57,760 Like, it looks like a bright orange couch against a blue 1401 01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:00,000 curtain. It's just so mismatched. 1402 01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:03,480 No one's really going to copy it or be able to. 1403 01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:06,800 And the brick wall backdrop behind us, very, very deliberate 1404 01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:10,960 sort of Brandon to it started getting guests in because the 1405 01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:16,240 1st 75 episodes, there's no guests and they're all audio 1406 01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:17,360 only. They're still available 1407 01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:20,240 everywhere, but they're just me and Dan and they're just audio. 1408 01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:25,640 Episode 76, our first guest was Paul Smith and that was in the 1409 01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,160 studio. And then from there we went 1410 01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:30,240 because obviously we've been doing it every day. 1411 01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:33,240 So when we first launched our Patreon, there was no benefit to 1412 01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:35,240 signing up. We were just like we could do 1413 01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:36,880 with some money or we're going to have to stop. 1414 01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,920 So we got like 4 or 500 to sign up and that kept the thing going 1415 01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:44,400 and meant me and and didn't have to go deliver them for Iceland 1416 01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:49,120 or Tesco or whatever in that first there lockdown. 1417 01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:51,720 So when we moved into the studio, we start getting the 1418 01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:54,840 guests in. We start the way we did it was 1419 01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,680 we were like, right now that we're not doing an episode every 1420 01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:00,840 day, we'll do one pub look, one exclusively to Patreon every 1421 01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:05,360 week. And with the public one, the 1422 01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:08,480 first half, there's no guest. So we do it. 1423 01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:11,840 We split it into four sections, so it's sort of mirrored really. 1424 01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:16,320 So the first, the first section of four is just me and Dan, no 1425 01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:18,600 plan at all. We just turn up and start 1426 01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:21,320 talking. Second section is just me and 1427 01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:23,520 Dan answering and listener correspondence. 1428 01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:27,040 Third section is me, Dan and the guest. 1429 01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:30,120 No plan at all. Fourth section is me down in the 1430 01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:32,760 guest listener correspondence. And the reason we did it that 1431 01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:36,160 way, we were like, if people just want me and Dan, they still 1432 01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:38,280 get it. If people want just the guest, 1433 01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:41,040 they can just have that. And if people want all of it, 1434 01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:42,640 then they get that. So you can have the best of 1435 01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:44,440 three worlds really, whatever it is for you. 1436 01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:48,040 And it's just sort of snowballed. 1437 01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,520 It's changed my career. I was already sort of touring 1438 01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:55,160 and at a very small level, but you know, 100 seaters and that 1439 01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:57,560 around the UK. I was out of the tour and it's 1440 01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,040 bumped me up and Dan wasn't right. 1441 01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:05,280 Donna Zero following really. And he's now, you know, he's 1442 01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:10,680 about to do a 30 date UK tour, 99% of which the sales come. 1443 01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:14,160 From I mean, it's such an unbelief like we did, we start 1444 01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:18,880 before COVID, before lockdown, Yeah. 1445 01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:22,160 And we did that thing of doing like a daily, a daily one. 1446 01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:25,399 And it like obviously when you do stand up, it establishes a 1447 01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:28,800 connection input of videos and like, but nothing doesn't more 1448 01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:32,359 than a podcast because if it's done well, it is you being you. 1449 01:08:32,359 --> 01:08:34,920 You're not doing like a like I've done radio before and I've 1450 01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:37,439 done a radio voice and I've not been me. 1451 01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:39,960 Yeah, yeah. But like this is just there's 1452 01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:41,840 like a conversation we'd be having any. 1453 01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:43,279 Yeah. And it doesn't, no matter how 1454 01:08:43,279 --> 01:08:46,319 big it gets that the the room doesn't really change. 1455 01:08:46,319 --> 01:08:52,160 Yeah, like from when we had 2000 listeners when we first got the 1456 01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:58,080 studio, Yeah, to now, I think we're currently doing like 1/4 1457 01:08:58,080 --> 01:08:59,880 of a million a week. Right. 1458 01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:05,840 What we're doing and where we're doing it has not changed even a 1459 01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:06,800 little bit. Yeah. 1460 01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:11,160 So 2000 people being behind the camera or 1/4 of a million of 1461 01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:13,160 them. The the setting doesn't change. 1462 01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:15,319 So you still there's no extra pressure on it. 1463 01:09:15,399 --> 01:09:17,319 You don't feel like there's a quarter of a million people 1464 01:09:17,319 --> 01:09:18,279 downloading it. Yes. 1465 01:09:18,319 --> 01:09:22,240 You just feel like you just sat round in the same way you were 1466 01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:23,160 before. Yeah, yeah. 1467 01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:27,000 By the way, you use having a set and a fix set. 1468 01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:30,760 Yeah, it made me be like we we need to get a fix set. 1469 01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:34,840 Well, that is very, very nice. We've had a lot of podcasters go 1470 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:36,560 out. You know, we talk a bit of 1471 01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:38,800 inspiration from this and we're fucking made-up with that. 1472 01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:42,240 Like I'm very much I'm a bit Ave cake and eat it too, because I 1473 01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:44,560 have had some sorts of TV opportunities and I've got some 1474 01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:46,399 more coming me way and I'm very grateful for that. 1475 01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,040 But I am at my heart anti industry. 1476 01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:51,760 Yeah, very much. The industry is better than 1477 01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:55,480 comedians and rather than. I didn't realise it was until 1478 01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:59,840 maybe like a year ago, yeah. I was always like, if I have an 1479 01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:03,000 idea for something, it can only go to the BBC. 1480 01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:04,160 Yeah. Because with that, the only 1481 01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,600 broadcaster we have here, yeah, like fixed here. 1482 01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:10,360 And it was like, you take an idea, it would get rejected and 1483 01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:11,880 I would be like, that's the end of the idea. 1484 01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:13,320 There's no, there's no other option. 1485 01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:16,480 Whereas doing this. And when this has started doing 1486 01:10:16,480 --> 01:10:19,520 well, it's the only time where I've been like, you know, we can 1487 01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:22,600 do things and if there's something exciting that maybe is 1488 01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:24,560 ATV thing or something you get approach with, you actually 1489 01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:27,000 really like that. Like I definitely, I think 1490 01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:30,640 there's a attitude of like it's happened for maybe 5-10 years 1491 01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:34,120 where it's almost like not cool to say you want to do TV stuff 1492 01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:36,080 or whatever. But I think deep down, anyone 1493 01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:39,280 saying that if they had a slight opportunity, they take it. 1494 01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:40,680 They all want it. Yeah. 1495 01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:43,240 And I, I take opportunity. I also turn down some stuff now. 1496 01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:43,800 Yeah. Yeah. 1497 01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:46,920 Because there's some stuff, like when I start a comedy, I was 1498 01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:50,240 like, I want to do everything because I was just like you in 1499 01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:53,800 my head when I started being on TV. 1500 01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:56,720 Equals good. Yeah, like equals. 1501 01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:58,520 I am good at comedy and that's just not. 1502 01:10:58,760 --> 01:10:59,720 True. Well, there was a there was a 1503 01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:01,320 route you felt they had you had to take. 1504 01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:02,800 Yeah, and it's just not there anymore. 1505 01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:06,600 Like I, I love how many comedians, whether that's on the 1506 01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:09,200 back I have a word or of their own volition or whatever. 1507 01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:11,840 They've got a podcast now and they're building their own 1508 01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:15,200 audience and they're building this thing where and everyone's 1509 01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:18,440 the famine mentality I was talking about before when it was 1510 01:11:18,440 --> 01:11:24,040 just TV, we were all competing for the same 20 jobs that we're 1511 01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:27,320 not all competing for the same 20 audience members because 1512 01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:30,800 someone who loves this podcast can also listen to ours and can 1513 01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,480 also listen to dead men. And they do and they do. 1514 01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:37,320 And there's, there's almost like it's obviously not infinite, but 1515 01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:40,040 it feels like there's an infinite amount of fan base out 1516 01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:42,880 there for us all to have and share. 1517 01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:47,800 Like when we have someone who's doing well with their content, 1518 01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:50,000 or even if they're not and we want to give them a boost, we 1519 01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:53,280 just get them on and we share their stuff. 1520 01:11:53,440 --> 01:11:54,800 And it should be the way it's done. 1521 01:11:56,800 --> 01:12:00,360 The industry is much, much, much better than comedians and than 1522 01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:04,120 it is in people. Like, you know, there's a lot of 1523 01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:06,560 TV producers who are fucking great, but there's some who 1524 01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:10,880 should be absolutely have 0 involvement in the actual jokes. 1525 01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:12,480 Why don't we put a vampire in it? 1526 01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,120 Fuck off. Like shut up. 1527 01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:17,840 Go away. There's a reason you've hired us 1528 01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:19,800 because we're funny. And there's a reason you're 1529 01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:21,240 behind the camera. It's because you know how to 1530 01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:22,960 fucking edit. So edit. 1531 01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:28,920 Yeah, also being funny. But it's just like, like you 1532 01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:32,440 say, going from that, you know, 100 seat tour and kind of thing 1533 01:12:32,440 --> 01:12:34,960 and see seeing all the numbers bump up and it's just that 1534 01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:41,440 connection with the audience now and being able to almost do show 1535 01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,240 anywhere. Like to be able to go know there 1536 01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:46,800 will hopefully be enough people in this place that like this 1537 01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:49,240 where I like media in Toronto, like I couldn't have done that 1538 01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:54,080 two years ago, a year ago, but kind of just about enough people 1539 01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:57,720 now to do a show. And that not that is not lost on 1540 01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:02,120 me to go and do that or even go to Liverpool and like do to a 1541 01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:03,920 venue there. And the venues here and the 1542 01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:05,960 venues you're doing in Liverpool, that would have been 1543 01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:09,040 reserved for in the kind of TV dominated time that would have 1544 01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:13,160 been reserved for an elite band of maybe 10 meetings who were 1545 01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:17,200 huge on TV. And now people from our cities 1546 01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,840 will come and see us. Yeah, because it's absolutely 1547 01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:24,040 insane. So the last tour I did, I put 1548 01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:27,560 very similar size venues on sale for this tour just to say. 1549 01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:31,440 And I've like this tour is going to be 80 days by the end of it. 1550 01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:33,520 It's too many. Right, it is too many. 1551 01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:38,120 It has meant that I've got to do the show a lot and get it tuned 1552 01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:41,880 because we are going to film it and try and sell it to a 1553 01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:43,920 streaming service and if they don't buy it then we'll just put 1554 01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:51,400 it on YouTube. It's it's sort of hard to get 1555 01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:54,360 your head around the growth of it and that's why I put similar 1556 01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:58,320 size venues on sale to the last tour because I genuinely didn't 1557 01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:00,720 know what impact it was going to have. 1558 01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:04,880 Yeah, yeah. So we we knew we had new fans, 1559 01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:06,160 we just didn't know whether they were live fans. 1560 01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:07,320 You don't know whether they're going to come out. 1561 01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:08,920 So they just enjoy listening to you in your car. 1562 01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:10,720 Yeah, yeah. But we've gone from like, I 1563 01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,960 think on my last tour I sold 3000 tickets outside of 1564 01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:19,440 Liverpool and we did another fair like 1100 in Liverpool, now 1565 01:14:19,440 --> 01:14:21,840 13, because we did two dates. The second day was a hot water, 1566 01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:24,520 so you're looking at like 4000 tickets, maybe 5. 1567 01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:28,200 This tour's going to have done 25,000 by the end of it. 1568 01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:31,080 Yeah, it's great. It's five times and there's 1569 01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:35,200 places where we probably should add extra dates, but I can't be 1570 01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:37,240 Arsenal. Yeah, yeah, there's also places 1571 01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:39,960 I haven't managed to get because I booked this tour myself. 1572 01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:44,000 The next tour I've gone with a promoter for. 1573 01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:48,200 It's already being booked for next year already but like 1574 01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:50,840 Aberdeen, I've got to get to Aberdeen. 1575 01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:53,000 I didn't go this year. I know I can sell a load of. 1576 01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:54,160 Tickets. I love that that's in the back 1577 01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:56,360 of your mind every. Day because I get message most 1578 01:14:56,360 --> 01:14:57,040 all the time. What the fuck? 1579 01:14:57,040 --> 01:14:58,680 Haven't you come to Aberdeen Donde? 1580 01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:00,480 Apparently that's where I need to go. 1581 01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:04,160 Everywhere on the South Coast. I'm going to Brighton and 1582 01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:06,440 Brighton sold out like that because I'm not doing 1583 01:15:06,440 --> 01:15:08,240 Southampton, Bournemouth or Portsmouth. 1584 01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:12,240 Like London.
