Alex. 17 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,920 Alex has form. The form is really. 18 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,120 So I only found it's crazy to find out that this is not a 19 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,000 universal phrase. And that gets me when I say, 20 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,240 how's the form? You're perplexed. 21 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,160 I wasn't perplexed. I mean, I have heard of. 22 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,360 I'm in good form. Yes, you heard of, you've heard 23 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,040 of form. I've heard of the word form. 24 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,160 Yeah. So, but would you say like, you 25 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,840 know, I, I, I assume that was a natural, but I realised I've 26 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,160 been saying that across the world for years. 27 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,520 I mean to tell you, nobody says that. 28 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,320 But it's good. Do you think there's potential 29 00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:28,520 in it to to travel? I am going to start using that 30 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,920 phrase. How's the form? 31 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,760 Yes. I suppose you said it to a 32 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,000 teacher or something. That might mean something else, 33 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,640 Yes. Or like a swimming coach. 34 00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:37,720 Yeah. Yeah. 35 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,120 But how's the form? I mean, I've just got off a 36 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:45,120 flight from London to here and yeah, staggered, got my case 37 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,360 from the carousel, but the form is all right. 38 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,360 But I'm not feeling. But that's a quick flight. 39 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,040 But from London, is it you fight from? 40 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,680 London I'm just making the points. 41 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,920 I'm just making the point that the form would be better had I 42 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,680 not flown at 5:00 in the morning, got up and got to. 43 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,760 Yeah, but without flight, like by the time you're up, you're 44 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,320 down. It's not right. 45 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,039 The form, Yeah, but what I'm saying is the form. 46 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,280 Oh, Jesus. And also there is a thing in 47 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,560 Northern Ireland when we ask you kind of how the form is, we 48 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,920 don't, we don't ever want the answer to be not great. 49 00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:20,840 Has anyone used that expression ever before? 50 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,320 How's your form? Yeah, I said everyday to people. 51 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,080 I know you do, but is anyone in this world? 52 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:25,640 Oh, yeah. Yeah. 53 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:26,280 Oh, yeah. OK. 54 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,800 Yeah, but I would say if I'm in America, to someone from 55 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,280 America. But now I'm realised you're the 56 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,280 person who finally sat me down and told me. 57 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,720 What you're saying that when you don't want them to say the forms 58 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,360 good or you do? When you do that here, you'll 59 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,080 how's your forum? The answer is grand. 60 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,760 You know you never what you don't want to someone to say the 61 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,520 forms not great. It is quite tedious if you are 62 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,160 someone in general how they're doing. 63 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,240 And I'm a real one for my my tour manager is here and he met 64 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,680 me at Heathrow and we just had the whole of Easter off and he 65 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,320 just, it was a perfunctory question. 66 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,200 How? What? 67 00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,960 Perfunctory? Now in the same way how's the 68 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,800 form has never left Northern Ireland, Perfunctory has never 69 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,960 got in here. It was a polite. 70 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,680 It was a polite. Question I will be using. 71 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,960 Perfunctory. Well, to be honest, I'm not sure 72 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,000 I pronounced it properly, so let's not dwell on that. 73 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,640 Is it? Would you say instead of plate? 74 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,320 So I could say yeah. Polite. 75 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,600 So I could say that it means it means work a day. 76 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,160 It's like it means sort of. It's just, it's just a bland 77 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,880 statement, perfunctory. It just gets us from A to B. 78 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,640 So I could say to the venue manager tonight, I hope you find 79 00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:37,320 me perfunctory when I arrive. Oh, I don't think it doesn't 80 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,080 quote like you tell me. Say, how's the form? 81 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,960 Yeah, I hope you find me perfunctory. 82 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,760 And then he'd go. Why speaking in that? 83 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:45,560 Yeah. Where's that problem? 84 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,360 No, I mean it was it was applied just to get to the, the how's 85 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,920 the form thing again? Yes, my my tour manager, Alex, 86 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,480 just to confuse things. He asked me how Easter went and 87 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,600 I gave him, you know, chapter and verse. 88 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,120 Do you have that expression, chapter and verse we do know 89 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,640 about what I did over Easter. Now he may not have wanted to 90 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,680 know quite as much detail of that, but it was a chance for me 91 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,960 to get a few things off my chest about my family life where the 92 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,040 form is dipping slightly. Yes, I think it would if he and 93 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,519 if he didn't want that honesty from you as a friend, I think 94 00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:22,600 that would have been bad perfunctory from him. 95 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,600 His funk, funk functory would have been off form. 96 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,280 Yeah, yeah, yeah. When you travel. 97 00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:34,360 Someone like this, I mean, is anyone you've? 98 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,240 Is anyone listening to? Oh yeah, absolutely. 99 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,080 Oh, they love all this.

I've got lots to do today. 134 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,760 We filmed the show at the London Palladium the other month and 135 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,160 there's people asking me all sorts of questions about edits 136 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,600 and stuff. I'm not that fussed now. 137 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,920 I'm a bit bored with that, but I've got to force myself to sit 138 00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,360 in the dressing room and go through it. 139 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,720 They want, you know, actual time codes. 140 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,360 So I'm going to be doing that for a couple of hours maybe of 141 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,720 bits we want to use for social media, how we what we want the 142 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,400 credits to be, what the font, all this sort of boring stuff. 143 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,640 So I'll do a bit of that. It does take me, I mean the, the 144 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,040 I support myself on this tour. So when I get before the the 145 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,160 show starts, I play my other character Barry from Watford 146 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,080 that I used to do on Steve Wright's Radio 2 show, which the 147 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,360 young people out there won't know anything about. 148 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,560 I remember. OK, so I played. 149 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,960 This old man, it's very ultimate clean man. 150 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,520 So I do him first which I used to use full prosthetics and now 151 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,320 I'm getting so old I I just have a prosthetic nose and some funny 152 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,560 teeth. So I'm going to put all that 153 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,200 gear on 1st and then in the interval there's it's a quick 154 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,800 change into Clinton. Well, that's a quick change, 155 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,640 Jonathan. Yeah, it's well, we only have, 156 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,640 you know, what is it 1520 minutes. 157 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,320 But during that time I got to get all my make up off from 158 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,480 Barry, put the wig on, make sure it looks quite good, got a lot 159 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,240 of sequins. And we also take suggestions 160 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:19,160 from the audience for for questions for Clinton's spirit 161 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,600 guide. So I. 162 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:27,080 Want to ask about how how it works right, because that I 163 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:32,440 remember loving that character on screen and then when I years 164 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,640 ago when, when you started when when did you start doing it 165 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:40,280 live? Well, the truth is in 2001, when 166 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,840 you know this is me going back and it going giving you the long 167 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,039 form which you didn't actually also but. 168 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:44,960 No, I would. I would. 169 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,240 OK, so all that time ago when we did Phoenix Nights, I was only 170 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,600 in for one episode and I was up in Bolton for like. 171 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,720 That's it. Do you know what that is Mandela 172 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:58,720 Effect is? I don't know because I, I've 173 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:05,360 always wanted to use. I always I always wanted no, I 174 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,200 always thought that you have if you had asked me, I'd be like, 175 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,520 are you? That character was in most of 176 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,280 the. Episodes in about 3 minutes, the 177 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,680 whole thing. But that's that's. 178 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:15,640 Yeah, I know. It's unbelief. 179 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,840 Wasn't it talking about flogging, Ringing the last few 180 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,280 pence out?

I was doing a show about British 183 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,240 wrestling. Great year, by the way. 184 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,800 Great year. 1998 was a from about 95 to 98. 185 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,160 Excellent. Great. 186 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,400 Well, I was very busy at that time and, and I just turned 30 187 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,320 and I kind of thought, you know, when you're an actor sitting 188 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,800 around all your career waiting for the phone to ring, I think I 189 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,400 got to about 30 and thought I'm, I just, this is a waste of a 190 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,160 life. And I think it's easier now. 191 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,760 There's there's, you know, digital media and there's social 192 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,000 media and you can just go and stand on a crate and film it, 193 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,480 you know. But in my day, what would you 194 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:01,960 do? You'd have a proposal for a 195 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,760 comedy show and you'd send it to Radio 4 and nothing would 196 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,880 happen, mainly because I'm not an Oxbridgey type. 197 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,760 But you know, it's really, there weren't really these outlets. 198 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,560 So Edinburgh Professor was kind of the only thing to kind of 199 00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:16,200 jump start your career. And I went out and did a show 200 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,600 about British wrestling where I played Big Daddy in giant 201 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,000 haystacks and, you know, Kendo Nagasaki and these people from 202 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,720 the 70's, the world of sport, which you won't remember, but 203 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:30,160 Peter Kay and Bomber Pat Roach from Alfie Dessain Pet, who was 204 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,720 a wrestler, came to review it for Edinburgh Knights. 205 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,760 And so I met Peter that way. And then he got me in that Peter 206 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,280 Kay thing, which was sort of the forerunner, where I played this 207 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,800 character Sparky in one of the episodes in the bingo hall. 208 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,760 And then Peter phoned me up one day and said have. 209 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,800 I got a part for you. And it was Clint and Baptiste, 210 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,960 thankfully, thank God. But I went up there and filmed 211 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:59,200 it in Bolton and it seems to be really, really funny, you know, 212 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,840 really, really, really funny. So. 213 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,480 You knew that even even on. I did. 214 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,000 I mean, at about the same time I auditioned for Mackenzie 215 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,320 Crooke's part in the office round about the same time and 216 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,240 failed to get that, sadly. But he did a good job. 217 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,280 And so I went and did the Phoenix Knights thing and I 218 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,280 remember at the time saying to Peter Kay, look, I would I would 219 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,360 really love to do this as it on the cabaret circuit as a 220 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,800 character comedy. So can I ask was that was it 221 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,920 almost like bittersweet when it like when you when it you became 222 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,360 that character and it and it just worked Sweden that you were 223 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,640 like, this is great, but but then you were thinking, I'm only 224 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,920 going to get to do this this day on this set. 225 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,720 Yeah, it was. And and also Peter didn't really 226 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,800 want me to do it as it on the circuit. 227 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,760 So that was he just said you're not doing that. 228 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,120 So that was kind of the end of that. 229 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:54,720 And then, I mean, there's a a long story where I'm told he was 230 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,760 approached about a sitcom, which he didn't want to do, as with 231 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,760 Clinton, which I've only found out quite recently, which is 232 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:01,400 great. Shame. 233 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,880 And then when we did Phoenix Knights Live in 2015, I asked 234 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,760 him again. And to my amazement, he said, 235 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,080 yeah, that's all right. I don't have any. 236 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,560 You hadn't. In between those years, you 237 00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:13,640 hadn't. I, I didn't do it. 238 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,720 I only did it once on Remember, that's Britain's got a Jesus 239 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,480 Christ Superstar thing that Peter did. 240 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,160 I, I made a little cameo and that's Clinton, where Peter said 241 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,800 you put on weight, which is charming, which I had. 242 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,800 But anyway, well, you know, it was many years afterwards, not a 243 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,760 crime. I was not in such good form 244 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,520 then. But he, so then I asked Peter 245 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,360 again in 2015 after we did Phoenix Nights Live at 246 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,360 Manchester Arena and he said that that's fine, that's great. 247 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,480 You can go and do it. And honestly, I mean, this is 248 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,360 not, this is not, you know, being humble or anything. 249 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,880 I did it. Someone invited me to go and do 250 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,360 it at Stockport Masonic Society, this little comedy night. 251 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,320 And I went all the way up there from Watford where I live, and 252 00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:03,120 there was massive audience there and I were thinking, this is 253 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,400 extraordinary. Who else is on? 254 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,120 It's like, and they come to see Clinton. 255 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,120 And this is, this is not false modesty. 256 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,680 I could not believe that. I mean, it's nothing to do with 257 00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:12,120 me. They people love Beat and they 258 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,680 love Phoenix nights. But it suddenly occurred to me 259 00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:17,560 then, oh, I see, I really must try and do this. 260 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,800 And thankfully, Peter has always let me do it. 261 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,120 He's been great to me. And he could have said, no, 262 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,040 you're not doing it. And so for the last 10 years, 263 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:32,200 well, you know, 11 coming to 12 years, I've been, you know, 264 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,760 touring his Clinton and going doing, you know, stand up nights 265 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,400 and character nights and. And how from the first time you 266 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,920 put the the the outfit on, you did that episode of Phoenix 267 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,800 Nights to know how much have you evolve the character or change 268 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,320 the. Character, it's not really 269 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,960 anything like it was. I, you know, Clinton's got a 270 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,720 history now he's got, you know, he lives in a flat. 271 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,040 I did, I did a podcast where I populated it with other people 272 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,120 who lived in, in, you know, flats, in his block of flats. 273 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,120 He's got a sort of mad neighbour called Ruth. 274 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,720 Clinton's got a name, you know, full, full name Clinton Solomon 275 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,200 monitoring Baptiste, you know, and you know, he's got an agent 276 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,160 and all this kind of stuff. So it it kind of, you know, I 277 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,800 sort of fleshed it out a little bit. 278 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,600 It it, it just like nothing makes me laugh more than like 279 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,760 those talk sport clips. Like when you're on the 280 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:26,280 breakfast. Show. 281 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,360 Oh God. With Alan Brazil and Ally McCoy, 282 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,880 it's just I think because of how giddy they are. 283 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,320 Yeah, well, that's lovely. I mean, I don't think Brazil 284 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:35,840 always gets what I'm doing. I know. 285 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,880 I sorry. I think that makes it funnier. 286 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,720 I think that makes it fun. Well, because Ali is just Ali 287 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,480 buzzing. Yeah, Brazil is a bit does yeah, 288 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,360 doesn't quite know what, but I think that makes it funny. 289 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,840 This. Is very uncharming of me. 290 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,600 But what happens is, you know, it's, you get up very, very 291 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,120 early. You know, you're doing sort of 292 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,760 radio. And I used to do it, I used to 293 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,280 do lots on Christian O'connell's Absolute Radio show. 294 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,520 So it means that all night long you're thinking, oh God, I've 295 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:01,880 got to get up in a minute and be funny. 296 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,640 When you've got it, when you're going on holidays, early flight, 297 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,560 exactly like you can't rest. Exactly. 298 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,360 And so going in there to talk sports, which is, you know, it's 299 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,560 all a bit unforgiving. It's all very alpha male and 300 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,760 it's all a bit. You're a comedian. 301 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,640 Are you getting back in there? You want somebody, You want 302 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,600 somebody to change. It's all, there's nothing kind 303 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:23,640 of nice. Yeah. 304 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,680 And then you go, there's a love you on now, Alex, you know, you 305 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,920 do a gig about Man United, blah, blah, blah. 306 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,080 And I've written tonnes of stuff the night before. 307 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,920 And you can see this a couple of times because the cameras are. 308 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,880 On on the notes. And I've got all these bloody 309 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,160 notes in front of me and Alan, you know, I mean, I did one at 310 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,120 Halloween and I sat down ready to do my 5 minutes off. 311 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,200 I've I've written the jokes. It takes some writing. 312 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,320 You don't just turn up. And anyway, John Glanton, why is 313 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,880 it? Why is Halloween and where did 314 00:15:54,880 --> 00:16:00,200 it come from? I'm like, Alan, I've written. 315 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,600 What do you have absolutely no idea? 316 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,040 Alan, what do you think this is? And you think, I mean, when I 317 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,360 used to work like for Steve Wright on Radio 2, the likes of 318 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,360 him and Ali Mccoist, they for some reason, they get it, you 319 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,240 know, And it's not Alan's fault. He's he, he is a presenter, but 320 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:19,720 he's a footballer first and foremost. 321 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,760 But you want someone, all you want is to someone to sit there 322 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,600 and laugh and that's it. And you feel confident you can 323 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,360 do it. But don't start asking me the 324 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,280 history of Halloween or Druid festivals. 325 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,560 You. Know, it's like, do you remember 326 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,000 that guy who went to Guy, somebody who was called, he went 327 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,520 to BBC to for a job interview about being a cleaner and then 328 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,280 they had him on. Yeah, he's like the head of 329 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,600 Apple in the UK or something. You just have to like fill a bit 330 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,880 of that Guy. Was great to see him as much 331 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,120 anymore. No, no. 332 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,840 But as you say, Ali is a great supporter and he often, you 333 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,720 know, sends me a little note. And the other one is Jim White, 334 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,360 who turns up to see me and things. 335 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,400 So I'm completely delighted by all that stuff. 336 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,280 And it's a really, this is once again, this is not false 337 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,119 modesty. I'm I'm 58 now. 338 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,720 No, I am. I am. 339 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,640 And but, you know, all these years, as I say, being an actor 340 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,520 and you know, I tapped up in all sorts of people's shows and 341 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,560 stuff over the years, But suddenly at my age to be filling 342 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,760 these theatres that we're we're doing, we filled the London 343 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,119 Palladium and all this kind of stuff. 344 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,200 First of all, hats off to Peter K Thank God for letting me doing 345 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,720 it to, to do it. But also, you know, people come 346 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,320 out the woodwork and they talk about, they ask me about other 347 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,240 stuff I've done over the years. And I think where's everyone 348 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,720 been all this time? I suddenly, you know that. 349 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:45,280 So, so that's, it's a really lovely, lovely position to be in 350 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,960 suddenly. I mean, the fact that, you know, 351 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,000 the character Clinton, but he's obviously a clairvoyant. 352 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:57,200 Do do you, have you done any like training in that, you know, 353 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,000 just to sort of help the act along? 354 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:06,600 I, I've seen an awful lot of it on YouTube and I just, you know, 355 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,240 all those tropes and all that cold reading stuff. 356 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,760 Yeah, I the honest truth is I'm not. 357 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,440 I couldn't give two hoots about the paranormal. 358 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,520 Yes, it is purely to serve a lot of pathetic double entendres, 359 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,080 right. Third eye this open your third 360 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,760 eye that, you know, all all this kind of stuff. 361 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,720 So I was thinking if Clinton wasn't a clairvoyant medium 362 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,440 psychic, he'd be a second hand car salesman. 363 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,320 No disrespect for any of our second hand car, but do you know 364 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,960 what I mean? He would be sort of pulling a 365 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,960 fast 1.

They've got like a range of time 399 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,800 protein. They've got like a kind of fancy 400 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,120 one, which is great.

And I did a little bit of live 413 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,040 stuff. So I I I always started as a 414 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,240 stand up and then I had a couple of characters and I did it live 415 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,240 a couple of times and I was, I was actually like a bit work 416 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:41,080 because it was so much fun and I thought I want to keep stand up 417 00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:44,720 and this kind of separate, but the, you know, I wasn't my 418 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,000 character didn't require me to really. 419 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,720 It required me to put on a blazer. 420 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,680 That was kind of it. The thing is, first of all, 421 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,560 you'll know in character. You can say stuff that's 422 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,640 outraged. It's not really you saying it, 423 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,640 but this is genuine. I am always insanely jealous of 424 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,000 straight stand up. Before I get too old, I really 425 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,960 want to just do stand up as me and to do material about what 426 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,480 interests me as a 58 year old man, not an old man like Barry, 427 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,320 not a paranormalist like Clinton. 428 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,320 And one day I'm going to do it. But I, I think it's a really 429 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,680 strange thing because I meet a lot of stand ups who say the 430 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,080 same. They'd love to be doing this 431 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,280 sort of character stuff. And I feel the complete 432 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,800 opposite, that this is really a thing to hide behind because I 433 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,000 mean it. It, it terrifies me that any 434 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,600 students in tonight, ladies and gentlemen. 435 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,200 Oh, you've seen my ACT. Please don't start saying that. 436 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,240 But. What was the character? 437 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,320 What was the? Character so it was a so this 438 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,520 time we're in Hollywood which is 5 minutes from Belfast yeah has 439 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,160 a reputation as being very very middle class right in Northern 440 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,840 Ireland and then. And I used to work in a, there's 441 00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:53,000 a Yacht Club restaurant thing down by the shore, right? 442 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,920 And I used to work there was like a dishwasher. 443 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,080 And then you would encounter these. 444 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,880 I was like 15-16. Yeah. 445 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,520 And you'd encounter these just very middle class, very loud, 446 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,800 good people. But like, no self-awareness 447 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,480 characters. Very, very posh. 448 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,920 So I did a character who was like, he played a little bit of 449 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,160 rugby, you know, in and out of the Academy sort of thing when 450 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,960 he was younger. And he was just a socialite kind 451 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:24,040 of guy, but like very loud voice and just very brat, no awareness 452 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,160 of the world. And and I I did some video 453 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,560 videos with that. So that would have really helped 454 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,520 my stand up back in the day because the very locally the 455 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,480 videos did did very well. But it was it was a very here 456 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,760 thing, you know, and and that then got people to come see my 457 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,960 stand up. But I just I also then I did a 458 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,920 football, by the way, as that character, like we, I got the 459 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,960 interview Rory McIlroy. So because he's, he's from this 460 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,120 time, OK, right. So, so I would have the 461 00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:56,960 character always talked about my, I would only referred. 462 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,480 It was McElroy. You know, McElroy is a friend of 463 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,560 Rory and, and used to tell these tales about, you know, it was 464 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:09,240 out last night with McElroy. And then he, he retweeted couple 465 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,160 of things which which really helped. 466 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,120 And and then he had like this is going back maybe 12 years. 467 00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:18,240 He had like one day off. He was back in the country and 468 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,200 he was like, I'll come do a video and I interviewed him in 469 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,640 in character fantastic. And and so, but but I, what 470 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,840 happened was I would, the main thing I did is that character 471 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,520 was I would go around freshers or in student days in Belfast 472 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,960 and interview student like Vox pops on the street. 473 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,520 But I kind of got to the point where and, and it was a very 474 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,520 local thing, but too many people within Belfast, probably 475 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,480 especially younger people knew of it. 476 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,800 So what kind of it took away that like when I was 477 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,120 interviewing people, they were, they were maybe too aware of it. 478 00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:50,520 Yeah, sure. For it to really work. 479 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,240 And they were maybe. What's he going to say here? 480 00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:55,080 Yeah. But I always mean to do it 481 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,640 again. And I just, I, I will do it 482 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:58,440 again. I just. 483 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,440 Well, that's the great thing. As you get older, you can't 484 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,960 really grow out of that. Maybe you'll grow into. 485 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,080 You're not going to get any worse as an actor, are you? 486 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,240 You're going to get better as an. 487 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,640 Actor you. Couldn't get any worse, that's 488 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,200 what I mean. But what do you in terms of 489 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:19,280 writing, you know, as you now? I mean, that is my terror, being 490 00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:22,160 I'm considerably older than you, but my terror of sitting down 491 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,280 and going right here we go. The one thing no one wants to 492 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,840 hear is, oh, my back's playing up. 493 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,320 Isn't that funny, ladies and gentlemen? 494 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,880 Again, how have you seen my ACT? Because that's what I mean. 495 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,280 But, you know, I mean, I've got a friend, Dan, Dan Evans, who's 496 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,200 on the circuit. And he was saying to me he's, 497 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,040 he's, in fact, he's slightly older than me. 498 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,920 And he started to say, I just don't know. 499 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,920 There are not the cultural touchstones they used to be. 500 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,920 You know, like so my kids don't know what I thought were 501 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,480 absolute general knowledge. You know where you want to, for 502 00:25:55,480 --> 00:26:01,080 example, if you wanted to go to who is known as a sort of D list 503 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,240 celebrity, This is this is this is going to be shut down flames 504 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,680 for this who's of rather loose morals. 505 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,640 You would. You might if you needed these 506 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:12,760 touched. Male or female? 507 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,320 Say is it Casey Price is what I was going to say right. 508 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,280 You know, if you and I'm sorry, that's I hope that's not 509 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,600 scurrilous libellous, but she's sometimes perceived like not by 510 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,400 me, not by most people, but have her. 511 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:25,880 And you're about she's a less to you to. 512 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,000 Me, she's great. Katie, if you're watching. 513 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,120 But you know, when you, you know, sort of you used to have 514 00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:33,440 these things at your fingertips or you would just have all these 515 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,360 people lined up and it would be a shorthand for something people 516 00:26:36,360 --> 00:26:39,240 would know. Well, even like time moves so 517 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,200 quick that, yeah, a friend of mine who's my age had a had a 518 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,360 joke about like, like his like a dream thing. 519 00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:49,080 And he's like, oh, if it was Rihanna and The Pussycat Dolls 520 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:50,480 and it wasn't getting a huge laugh. 521 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,120 And I had to say like that art. Younger people at gigs won't 522 00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:59,200 know who The Pussycat Dolls are. I remembered I did the Peter 523 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,600 Serafina which show on BBC Two years ago. 524 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,960 It was great and that I remember he did a great sketch with Benny 525 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,400 Wong where Peter was playing John Lennon and Benny was 526 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,600 playing Yoko and they were at the big white grand piano. 527 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,280 And it was clearly imagine, you know, the video with the the the 528 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,120 curtains blowing in. And I was just stood off set and 529 00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:26,760 I heard the make up woman, young woman saying what was it? 530 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,840 John Lennon, John Lennon. Right, OK. 531 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,000 And so I said to her, please tell me you know who John Lennon 532 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,720 is. And she went, yeah, yeah, yeah. 533 00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:38,040 It's, I said, used to write with Paul McCartney. 534 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,280 I said, do you know Paul McCartney? 535 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:44,520 Is this Stella McCartney's dad? Now I part of me thinks, all 536 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,800 right, she's considerably younger than me, but it's kind 537 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,000 of your duty to know this stuff, isn't it? 538 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,360 I mean, there's, there's people today who probably know David 539 00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:56,240 Beckham as a Brooklyn's dad. That's right. 540 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,840 Brooklyn the chef, the, the technical chef, his dad. 541 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,640 You play football, you know. Yeah. 542 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,000 People, though, like we, there's even some cultural reference to 543 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,480 the Major, like we talked about Ravi Shankar on another podcast. 544 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:09,600 I do recently. Yeah. 545 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,280 I didn't know who Ravi Shankar was. 546 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:12,920 I've never had more heat in my life. 547 00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:15,760 Really. Yeah, people lost their mind. 548 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,480 Was anyone calling you that? I mean, it's Courtney Riving 549 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,120 where I come from. Is it Ravi Shankar For what 550 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:29,640 ticket? But people were like, well, do 551 00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:31,480 have you not heard of George Harrison? 552 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,080 I mean, I have. And then, well, then Ravi 553 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,720 Shankar, I was like, yeah, no, that's not how that works. 554 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:37,760 I like. I guess. 555 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,760 I suppose the things you know, my kids know stuff I don't know 556 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,160 about. It doesn't make it any. 557 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,560 Sabrina Carpenter. Yeah, I've heard of. 558 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,840 I've heard of her, Yeah. You're doing what that person 559 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,320 did about Paul McCartney and John Lennon. 560 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:53,560 You're like, yeah, I don't. I mean, I guess in our game you 561 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,000 do have to have one foot in popular culture. 562 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:01,200 You kind of know who people are. But and then I think after a 563 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,240 while you kind of go, look, I'm going to play to a certain age 564 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:06,880 of crowd. That's fine. 565 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,160 Except I will say that Clinton, although it's mostly a 566 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,160 middle-aged crowd, does attract all sorts of. 567 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,720 People. It's unbelievable. 568 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,120 And I think, I guess what I love about it, it's got universal 569 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,160 appeal in that those people who remember Phoenix Knights, 570 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,760 there's sort of a young crowd who get the sort of, you know, 571 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,280 magical world of alternative stuff that Clinton's a little 572 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,360 bit like. There's people who get the end 573 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,800 of the pier, old Cobra Tan, not the opposite of called 574 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,120 Britannia, the old Britannia, working men's clubs and all 575 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,200 that. And then there's people who just 576 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,280 listen to my podcasts who who want to come see it. 577 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,040 So I'm always delighted. What I do get is a lot of people 578 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,840 shouting out and getting pissed and having fights. 579 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,320 Yeah, it is inexplicable to me. I don't know what I do attract a 580 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,280 lot of that and it's very often trouble. 581 00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,760 Really. Oh God, yeah. 582 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,920 Now, one thing I've done, and this is not really to stop that 583 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,880 kind of thing, but shows always start at 8:00. 584 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,760 Yeah, I do have 7. This tour. 585 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,600 I started in a half seven. Can I tell you it is delightful 586 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,520 at 7:30? Yeah. 587 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,080 With support. You're out there at half nine. 588 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,000 Yeah. I do don't have much time on the 589 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,200 source. People have, I think they have 590 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,960 one less drink, right? And it's just great. 591 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,200 I I'm going to tell you a very quick story. 592 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,440 Don't feel the need to make quick. 593 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,920 OK, I feel like a weird thing. No, I'll tell you why it's going 594 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:37,320 to be, it's going to be, it's going to be quick only because I 595 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,480 feel like I've told this on other podcasts. 596 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:44,920 We will go not this again, but I must tell you I did a gig in in 597 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:51,320 Winchester in It's quite a posh part of southern England and 598 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,320 Hampshire and I went there my age. 599 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,960 I never, I just was introduced to my agent and it was APTA, you 600 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,920 know, parent teachers thing, association, association and 601 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:01,440 it's. Very rare. 602 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,720 I know things and I was just excited that I use that. 603 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,400 Very good. And I went to do this thing and 604 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,160 they were like, there must have been 300 people there on tables. 605 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,160 And it was it was not a private school, but it was quite a well 606 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,040 to do. It's quite a well to do area. 607 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,520 And I took one look at it. I thought there's teachers here, 608 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,360 there's parents. And it's all a bit kind of 609 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,240 straight laced. And I said to my agent who would 610 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:24,840 for the first time was seeing me on stage. 611 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,680 I was headlining ridiculously. I said, I'm not going to do the 612 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,200 effing and Jeffing tonight. There's been no swearing from 613 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,160 me. It's not the time. 614 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,760 And him and the combo went, I promise you it's fine. 615 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,440 Play your normal game. Play your normal game. 616 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,200 Someone's already already dropped the F bomb. 617 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,680 It's fine. Said all right. 618 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,400 So I went out there headlining and you see where this is going 619 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:50,320 and I do a thing where I come on and you know, I'm going to 620 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,640 contact the dead. And a guy shouted Jacko, like 621 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,080 can you contact Michael Jackson? So I it was quite loud. 622 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,520 So I went, I'll come to you in a minute. 623 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,560 So I did a bit of stuff and I went and said, now who said 624 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,640 that? Go into the audience and the 625 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,680 tables kind of parted and there was a bloke there and there's a 626 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,720 bit I've done a number of times. It's not very pleasant. 627 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:09,080 You might have to bleep this out. 628 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,960 OK, So I went to and what's, what's your name, my friend? 629 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,560 And he said Pascal, he was French. 630 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,840 I went, yeah, someone called Dave says you're a cunt, right? 631 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,520 And it normally does well. And as I turned away, I thought 632 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,080 he's not taking that very well. And I thought I ignored it, did 633 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,120 a bit of other stuff. And then I, and then I got and 634 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,200 the thing that tipped this bloke over the edge was I do think so, 635 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,680 you know, it's, it's. True that in any group of 636 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,480 people, 83% will have extraordinary brain skills. 637 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,520 Looking at you lot and Pascal. I might have to revise it down a 638 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,840 little bit. Which is just a sort of nothing 639 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,000 vanilla joke. And it was that that sent him 640 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,480 over the edge and he got up and it was French. 641 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,360 All this stuff was going on. And I thought, oh fucking hell. 642 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,080 So I and I'm, as we've established, much more of an 643 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,000 actor than I am a stand up. So I'm not great at the crowd 644 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,880 control. I can do a little bit of it, but 645 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:08,040 if it goes on too long, I've I've had it so and, and no one 646 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,120 can get him to sit down, sit down, shut up, sit down to all 647 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,200 this was going on. And I tried to carry on still 648 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,120 shouting his wife's trying to get to sit down. 649 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,920 I think he's a bit pissed. He was probably post 8:00 by 650 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,840 now. And in the end, I just had to 651 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,240 go. Look, I've apologised, Pascal 652 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,320 and I, I, what occurred to me is, you know, in the British 653 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,720 Isles, dropping the sea bomb is not, it's common currency. 654 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:38,280 This it's perfunctory, right? But it's which is French. 655 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,560 Which is actually French for good form. 656 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:46,520 Yeah, perfunctois. Anyway, he he was having so I 657 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,400 kind of said to him, look Pascal, this was a really 658 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,160 terrible attempt. You, it's a different culture. 659 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,720 You've got some culture, I clearly haven't. 660 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,240 Please can you stop shouting? It went on and on. 661 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,200 In the end I'd say, do you know ladies and gentlemen Pascal, 662 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,040 I've tried to apologise 3 Times Now. 663 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,800 We're not getting reluctantly. I can't compete with this. 664 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,040 I'm going to say goodnight. It's only done about 10 minutes. 665 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:11,719 And as I got off the stage he stood up and I thought, you're 666 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,199 not going to try and beat me up. Surely I thought this is 667 00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:16,760 ridiculous. I'm wearing this blonde wig. 668 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,639 I had a sort of bejewelled handbag. 669 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,760 Surely, surely you know, this is a comedy show. 670 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,920 What do you think? It's I'm not, I'm not this 671 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,080 bloke, you know. And then I thought, you know 672 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,800 what? All his contemporaries have 673 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,679 spent 10 minutes trying to get him to stop. 674 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,320 I'm not going to be able to stop this bloke. 675 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,080 I'm going to run. So it's sprinted out. 676 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,719 As he came after my blonde locks flowed behind me, cut this bag, 677 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,800 James Gill, who was comparing, came out the toilet and went 678 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,719 fucking. Who's on, who's on the stage, 679 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,440 who's on the stage, ran away. And as is the way now I with a 680 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,480 lot of places, you can't get in. You can't just open a door. 681 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,960 It's a sort of code. I was really shaking myself. 682 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,880 This guy was going to kill me. He's about 20 years younger than 683 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:03,480 me, massive French bloke. And my agent said no. 684 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,320 I heard him go, no, no, you're not going down there, you're not 685 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,840 going down there. Rugby tackled him and I was sort 686 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,880 of laughing at the time. I, I, I couldn't get anywhere. 687 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,520 I, I was up behind a sort of filing cabinet and I was sort of 688 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:15,680 laughing. This is so ridiculous. 689 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,640 Took off my wig and all that. And a woman came out and said, 690 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,040 anyway, the whole thing ended and a woman came up to me who 691 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,520 was the head of security and said with a very dry mouth, I 692 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,800 remember thinking, she's more frightened than I am and said, 693 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,760 do you want, do you want to, do you want everyone to go before 694 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,160 you leave? And I said, no, I'm not going to 695 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:33,720 go out to the car park on my own. 696 00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:37,560 Yeah, so they gave me like a box of Quality St, like I'd won it 697 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,080 in the raffle. Well, I thought you meant to 698 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,440 defend yourself. Yeah, he hates the strawberry. 699 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:48,320 So I had this like I won it in the raffle, got in my car and it 700 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,280 was one of those, he's over there, keep walking. 701 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:51,880 He's just over there in the car, but keep walking, keep walking. 702 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,040 I thought, God, this reminds me from about the age of from about 703 00:35:55,040 --> 00:36:00,400 14 to 22. It could kick off if you go out 704 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:01,760 on a Friday, Saturday night, it reminded. 705 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,080 Me of those days, yeah. You know, I used to go out and 706 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:05,920 but Casey, someone would go, don't look. 707 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,600 Now there's someone. Yeah, there's someone screwing 708 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,920 us out of the bar and they'll be thinking, oh, God, please. 709 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,960 It was like that. And it was like, don't look, now 710 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,520 he's just over there. Keep going, keep going. 711 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,400 I was like, I was like 52 or something. 712 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:17,560 And so I thought, I don't need this. 713 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,040 I've not had this since school. And is this all because you 714 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,240 wouldn't contact Michael Jackson? 715 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:28,760 I think it's because some people and the vast, vast majority of 716 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,600 people come to see me sort of get that I'm never really going 717 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,520 to be that insulting. Yeah, dropping the sea bomb is 718 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,040 probably. Plus if if he's if he's being 719 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,640 disruptive as well, you got to do something to put him down. 720 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,840 Yeah, I mean there was that, but I just don't think he, there is 721 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:48,600 a vast difference between some bloke coming from France over to 722 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,960 Hampshire and sitting in a school hall to Clinton who is a 723 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,680 character from the British Working Men's Club. 724 00:36:55,120 --> 00:37:00,000 It you know, in Lancashire. It's just the 2 worlds collided 725 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,560 and he was not having it. But I'm just saying that to 726 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,080 illustrate that that sort of thing does occasionally. 727 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,320 I mean it nearly kicked off in the London Palladium. 728 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,640 People told me, my tour manager can tell me there was, there was 729 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,680 a bit of aggro there. I don't know, I don't know what 730 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,200 it is. I think people think that 731 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,280 Clinton is, you know, he, he, he takes a piss out of everyone or 732 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:20,320 something. Right. 733 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:26,240 Do people ever come to the show genuinely thinking you can 734 00:37:26,240 --> 00:37:28,080 contact people? Yeah, they do, yeah. 735 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,400 Right. And they don't really maybe 736 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,160 realise it's 100% comedy. So they think, OK, there's a bit 737 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,880 of a laugh, but also what's my, what's my way? 738 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,520 Nanny said. Right there, there there is. 739 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:43,000 We did a gig at Canterbury and a whole row of people very nicely 740 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,280 dressed. Can't be really posh. 741 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,000 It is quite posh, yeah, but I mean, I think it's a mistake 742 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,800 anyone could have made if you don't look at the poster 743 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,200 carefully enough and. How do you think the Red Hot 744 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,320 Chilli papers feel? Yeah, exactly. 745 00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,480 So I think it's a cookery show. Yeah, they. 746 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,080 So they all turned up. They're all very well dressed 747 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,480 and all that. And I had a support comedian on 748 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,800 and they were all pissed off. It's a funny thing, evidence 749 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,760 people doing just being appropriate, you know. 750 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,960 Then I came and they saw about 10 minutes of me, but of course 751 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,840 I just saw an entire row get up and go. 752 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,440 You're thinking, was I that bad? You know, it really, really 753 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,480 throws you. But there, there are times 754 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,720 people, you know, I did a kick in Twickenham in London and 755 00:38:25,720 --> 00:38:28,320 there's a woman who turned up and I could hear her saying is 756 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,400 he, is he through here? I thought, oh God, she came 757 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:31,920 through and said it's very funny what you're doing. 758 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,000 It's very, I get it, I get it, all the tropes of that. 759 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,400 But I'm a member of the British Parapsychological Society. 760 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,240 I just want you to know that your family are on stage with 761 00:38:39,240 --> 00:38:42,160 you tonight on that stage. There's a tiny stage. 762 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,400 So how they all go on? But I went oh, right, right. 763 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,600 OK yeah, I think it must, must go. 764 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,440 And she said no, no. And she said your your old grand 765 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:52,520 was here. I said, oh, right, All right, 766 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:53,120 OK. I'm just having. 767 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,280 What did she look like? She looked a lot like you. 768 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,320 I said blood relatives. There's a chance. 769 00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,960 I said OK, right, OK, I've got to go. 770 00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:01,480 And she went yeah, but your little dog was there. 771 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,400 And I said, sorry, your little dog was was there that you lost. 772 00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:10,000 Now we did lose a little dog, my little Rolo. 773 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,200 And it was a strange it was a comfort. 774 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,920 By the time I got in the car, I was convinced that actually she 775 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,400 had picked up on something. And did you say, is that 776 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,720 something you'd talked about before in like a podcast or 777 00:39:21,720 --> 00:39:23,440 anything? Could she have known that? 778 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:29,200 I think there's a chant in the show where I I mentioned a dog, 779 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:34,800 but once again, she's confusing reality with, you know, fantasy. 780 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,000 Because, because I think like I'm so sceptical about all that 781 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,680 kind of stuff. People who would really say 782 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:44,280 they're like a clairvoyant, but I think all it would take is 3 783 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,800 seconds of speaking the 1 and I go, this is all really. 784 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:51,400 That is my terror that I am going to be on stage dicking 785 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:52,720 around. Oh oh. 786 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,000 Henry the Eighth is just 10. Or whatever it is and I'm going 787 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,680 to see something We were in the last gig we did was in 788 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,520 Bournemouth. My, my wonderful tour manager 789 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,080 here took a photo. In fact he took three photos in 790 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,760 a row and the third one there was a ghost. 791 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,360 There is a ghost. And if you, you could go to my. 792 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:14,040 A Twitter, you can go to my website, all this stuff and 793 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,080 there is clearly a face there. And I spoke to Yvette Fielding 794 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,160 from Most Haunted who thinks it is an actual ghost now. 795 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:21,880 It could be a light refracting off. 796 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,720 It could be the French guy and the bat over your. 797 00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:27,280 Shoulder, yeah, so there is that. 798 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,480 But I thought like genuinely like before I met you, I was 799 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,040 like, I wonder, do you have like a bit of parsh like your flight 800 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,560 got delayed by about half an hour today and I was like, I bet 801 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,960 you just you were just smug in bed for an extra half hour going 802 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,360 like you already knew it was going to get the. 803 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,440 I tell you what this there is someone I know called Rachel 804 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,080 McDonald and she came on my podcast to tell a ghost story. 805 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,280 Now this is kind of thing that I, this is what I believe now, 806 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,000 because I hear so many ghost stories. 807 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,000 People write in to me for my podcast. 808 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,240 I meet people at gigs and they say, Oh, I saw it, you know, and 809 00:40:59,240 --> 00:41:00,960 I one day I was thinking, do you know what? 810 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,480 I don't even know what I believe anymore. 811 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,040 I sort of listen to stuff go oh, wow, thinking I don't know 812 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,880 whether I believe that or not. But Rachel McDonald told me, and 813 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,000 I've no reason to disbelieve her, that she sometimes helps 814 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,960 out on those most haunted. They go and they go to 815 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:19,000 Chillingham Castle, whatever, and people can pay to really sit 816 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,920 around for hours going. Did you hear that or whatever? 817 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:26,280 I felt that, you know, But she told me and I've no reason to 818 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,120 disbelieve her. There's nothing in it for her. 819 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,960 But she said she was there the other week and they were sat 820 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,720 around and I think it's her and this, there's another volunteer. 821 00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:38,840 She doesn't even get paid, just she's interested in the 822 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,720 supernatural. And she said me and this other 823 00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:46,320 woman were sat there bored out of her tits waiting for the the 824 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,600 the day to finish. And everyone you know, gathers 825 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:53,840 around and gets there, whatever they get, spooky pendant or 826 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,760 whatever. And they sort of sat in this 827 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,240 hall and she said she was chatting this woman and she said 828 00:41:58,720 --> 00:42:01,880 a man came in in old fashioned garb. 829 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,800 Of course. And they both looked at him and 830 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,360 he disappeared. And I said, what do you mean? 831 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,520 I said, whoa, whoa, whoa. What do you mean disappeared? 832 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,200 She went literally sort of like you imagined, like scooby-doo in 833 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,280 a in a puff of smoke, disappeared, disintegrated. 834 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:20,640 And she said, I sat there with this woman and I went and she 835 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,560 went, I did you just tell me what you just saw? 836 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,400 And she said this woman said exactly what we saw. 837 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:30,120 We described identically. Identically. 838 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:36,080 Is that a word? Yes, I'm spoiling the magic now. 839 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,800 And she said I exactly what she saw. 840 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,040 And she said this person disappeared in front of their 841 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:43,080 eyes. They didn't look away. 842 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,920 And he hid behind a grand piano or something. 843 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,960 He disintegrated into the air and said, I'm telling you, 844 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,400 that's what happened. Now, what I think is not that 845 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:54,480 it's necessarily the undead forever stuck in limbo between 846 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,320 the real world and, you know, heaven. 847 00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:01,400 I think it's possibly, and I, I didn't do very well in school 848 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,120 with science, but you know, these things like astrophysics, 849 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:08,760 quantum physics, where time is not linear, where it might be 850 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,000 like a stain on time. It might be someone who was 851 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,040 around about that time and you're seeing different layers 852 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,320 of time. Well, I know what you're talking 853 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,320 about, yes. First of all, let's not rule out 854 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,600 you ever see people vape nowadays. 855 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:31,440 They vape so big. Someone does a big vape, yeah. 856 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,520 And then you you sometimes you lose the minute you. 857 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,320 But then why was he? Wearing a little Metal Gear, 858 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,200 say. Yeah. 859 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,600 But then also see, we're saying about time. 860 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,880 Yeah. Do you know that if somebody is 861 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:52,200 at a star, like if someone was at a star, Yeah, right. 862 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,240 And they look down at Earth. Now go on, They would see the 863 00:43:55,240 --> 00:43:57,640 Roman Empire. I did know that, yeah. 864 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:04,160 That's crazy, isn't? It doesn't quite help us with 865 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:08,280 this thing though, does it? Well, you say that, but that 866 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,320 might have been, you know, something like that. 867 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:11,880 Was interesting what I said though, wasn't it? 868 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,120 Yeah. Right. 869 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:19,480 But I also think like in my I can't like if someone told me 870 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:23,920 that I I like the idea, but I just I couldn't let that I in my 871 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,360 head, I couldn't have that be I'd be like, there must be so 872 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,600 because these people, they're always wearing old clothes too. 873 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,160 Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah. 874 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:33,640 That's because they're from the past, isn't it? 875 00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,840 But they're very often Victorian people, and that was just 876 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,120 because that was a very popular. Club never nude. 877 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,760 No, they never nude and they never caveman, are they? 878 00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:45,120 Exactly, you know. And they're never smiling. 879 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,240 I'd be excited to see people if I've been stuck in time. 880 00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:54,480 I don't think they always know that they're there, do they? 881 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,760 I mean, there was a guy who who wrote into my podcast, we had a 882 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,280 long chat and he's a, he works some council grave digging 883 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:02,960 thing. And he said, there's a guy who 884 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:07,600 would turn up and in quite smart shoes and he looked like he was 885 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,280 in his kind of 60s garb. And he turned around and saw 886 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,160 this guy. And the bloke would, it was 887 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,720 almost like a monologue about, oh, yes, I'll come see a friend 888 00:45:15,720 --> 00:45:17,720 of mine. And he said, when I think about 889 00:45:17,720 --> 00:45:20,400 it now, I asked him questions that he didn't really answer. 890 00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,320 And he just had his set spiel about what he was doing there. 891 00:45:23,720 --> 00:45:28,200 And he said, I went knelt down to, you know, dig out some 892 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:29,520 earth, whatever, and turn around. 893 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,960 He'd gone. And he said he spoke to other 894 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,360 gravediggers in that cemetery. He said, oh, you see him all the 895 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,520 time. This guy turns up and curiously, 896 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,320 the shoes are not muddy. And it's like, where did you 897 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,880 come from? There's no main road and he sort 898 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,760 of tends to disappear now, whether he's a stain on time, 899 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,560 whether he is maybe a ghost. A Roman soldier. 900 00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:52,040 Maybe he's a Roman soldier in Did you want to say the 60s? 901 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,440 Right 60s close. Right. 902 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,920 Not 60. AD, OH. 1960. 903 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,000 Because that's sometimes, like, sometimes that freaks me out, 904 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,760 the idea that like, because last night at the show I had a lady 905 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,160 in the front row in the middle. Right. 906 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:14,120 And she started, she was chatting a bit and then I ended 907 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:15,480 up getting into a back and forth with her. 908 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:16,760 Yeah. And she was saying some pretty 909 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,240 mad things, right. And then and I was like, is this 910 00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:22,600 your daughter, by the way? Younger girl sitting beside her. 911 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,600 And she went, no, the girl went, no, I'm not with her. 912 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,800 And I went to the people on the other side and went, oh, is this 913 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,760 your mom? And they went, Nope. 914 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,960 And I went imagine after the show, I was like, what about 915 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:34,360 that Lady? And they went, What lady? 916 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:36,560 Yeah, that freaks me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 917 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,000 That just hearing that. What lady you? 918 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,440 Know that gives me the willies. Yeah. 919 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:45,880 But I mean, I would like, as you say, I would quite like that 920 00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,120 spooky experience. You ever met Derek Akora? 921 00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:51,400 No, I mean, I think it's safe to say that Clinton is sort of 922 00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:55,280 based on Derek Akora. Did you ever get Is Derek still 923 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:56,240 with us? I don't mean I'm. 924 00:46:56,240 --> 00:46:59,000 Afraid he's no longer with us, OK. 925 00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:03,080 But did he ever like? Because he seems like a guy that 926 00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:04,680 would take himself very seriously. 927 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,280 Did he ever get wind of it? Did he? 928 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:08,280 Did you ever hear? Did. 929 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,800 You know what happened with him. No. 930 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,800 Does anyone here know what happened to Derek? 931 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,600 What happened? Was they? 932 00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:19,680 This is true. This is well known. 933 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:24,320 Well known that Yvette Fielding and the like on Most Haunted 934 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,680 started to suspect he was a fraud. 935 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,880 They did a what's the word? A what's a jumbled up word 936 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:35,320 called conundrum, a jumping up word. 937 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:45,880 A what conundrum of of of a different of of some name or 938 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,040 other Which was it was it's spelt as something like Derek is 939 00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,520 a fraud or something like that. Bell on the note. 940 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,840 Yeah, something like that. I can't remember, but he then 941 00:47:55,000 --> 00:48:01,400 used that name in A Most Haunted He he sort of somehow had picked 942 00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,160 up on this, this name, this jumbled up name. 943 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:06,480 What is the name of what is not called a jumbled? 944 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:10,600 It's called an anagram anagram. It's an anagram anagram. 945 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,920 He picked, he picked up on this anagram that they'd fed him and 946 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:19,800 then repeated it in the show and claimed to have, you know, 947 00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:25,080 contacted this anagram and they at that moment knew, knew was a 948 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:26,320 fraud. And it sort of finished him and 949 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,400 he was dropped by if that feeling and the like. 950 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,280 I was, I was, yeah, it's true. I always liked Derek Gore and I 951 00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:34,600 always thought there was something. 952 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,840 I thought it's so ridiculous. Yeah, it's entertaining. 953 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:42,360 All that sort of and. I've got she's she's a Princess. 954 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,400 She's a Princess from ancient Egypt and she's saying, I don't 955 00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,400 laugh, alright. It's like why are? 956 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,880 They all scouts from ancient Egypt, but he that any magic of 957 00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,320 Derek was slightly dispelled by me because I saw him going out 958 00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:59,240 for a Lamb and Butler outside Houston station once and I 959 00:48:59,240 --> 00:49:01,960 thought. Yeah, did. 960 00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,000 So would would he? Would he have ever heard about 961 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,280 your character? Did you ever hear he was like OK 962 00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,640 with it or he didn't like it or? I, I don't know whether he knew. 963 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,520 He must a lot. You know, I don't think it's the 964 00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,800 most original thing in the world, a kind of mad clairvoyant 965 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,320 psychic. But I what the, the thing that 966 00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,360 was really interesting. You know, we played Liverpool, 967 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,840 played the Epstein Theatre, though why you'd name a theatre 968 00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,600 after a convicted paedophile I don't know, but. 969 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:33,120 Was actually named. Brian Epstein, Brian Epstein, we 970 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,320 and I remember doing his gig there. 971 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,280 And you know, you know what? In Liverpool, they're very, 972 00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,280 very, very loyal to their own. Absolutely. 973 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,480 And I remember being there and as Clinton was in one of my 974 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:48,640 tours, there's a bit about Derek and not not disparaging at all, 975 00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,240 where Clinton was a massive fan of Derek. 976 00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:53,440 And I just started this thing about Derek. 977 00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,640 This bloke went to come on Clinton, you're better than 978 00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,960 that. Long lived tariff. 979 00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,800 Long lived tariff. And I thought, what? 980 00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,840 Derek Ikora. Long lived, Janice. 981 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,320 But maybe that was Derek. Baby, it was. 982 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,680 It sounded like Derek. It also sounded like the 983 00:50:12,720 --> 00:50:15,480 Egyptian Princess as well, curiously. 984 00:50:16,720 --> 00:50:21,960 God. I am I would I would love that. 985 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,440 You mentioned, you know, back in the day there was maybe talk 986 00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:26,080 about doing a sitcom that didn't happen. 987 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:30,040 But that's I would I would love that because I I love watching 988 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:31,560 the talk sports stuff to see clips. 989 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,160 But I would I would I would love to see like you're talking about 990 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,440 Derek Acora having a cigarette at the back of yeah, I'd like 991 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,800 this. I'd like to see your character. 992 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,160 Yeah, and so would I. On a boss or like, you know, 993 00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:47,040 just like, because the look is so absurd. 994 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,720 And it's just like when you're talking about, like, fleeing 995 00:50:49,720 --> 00:50:52,800 that gig, being chased by that French guy with, like, your 996 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:53,920 Diamondback.

Like that? 998 00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,320 To me, one thing that I have to add to that, which I forgot, is 999 00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,760 that this French guy coming after me so misunderstood what I 1000 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:06,040 was doing.

She had a relationship with a 1068 00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:51,440 Spanish waiter, got Jose and he died running with the bulls in 1069 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:56,840 Pamplona. And just tonight, Hothe would 1070 00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,600 like to dance with you, do the beach ball dance with you on 1071 00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:05,120 stage tonight one final time. And and the big joke is, oh God, 1072 00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:08,120 we I'm going to have to dart. They're already horrified about 1073 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:09,880 being on stage and then we're going to have to do this 1074 00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:14,120 complicated dance and all I require and if I get a chance to 1075 00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:18,120 speak to that person, if there's applause all after I was just 1076 00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:20,200 give them a bit of you're doing very well. 1077 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:23,480 It's right, nearly done. I don't want anyone Don't do, 1078 00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:27,000 please don't do too much. Yes, please don't join in too 1079 00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:28,800 much. Please stay seated. 1080 00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:32,800 And there's always the risk that someone sees it as their big 1081 00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:34,200 chance. They're on the stage and they're 1082 00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:38,240 going to do something, you know? So I love it when people don't 1083 00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:39,280 join. That little element of 1084 00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,600 reluctance. Yeah, that's always funny, you 1085 00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,840 know, And nine times out 10, thank God. 1086 00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,520 Hats off to people. They get, that's what it is. 1087 00:55:46,720 --> 00:55:50,040 Has anyone like, you know, you mentioned like Jim White being a 1088 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,600 fan of it and has anyone ever come to see you at a live show 1089 00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,400 that's that's freaked you out a bit because you like that? 1090 00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,240 I can't believe that for example, Jeremy Beetle but not 1091 00:55:59,240 --> 00:56:03,080 Jeremy Beetle. He came to me one day. 1092 00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:06,760 Gave me a big hand. And what? 1093 00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:11,280 It's so obvious that I wish I hadn't said that, but I tell you 1094 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,440 who came to the Palladium, which is a massive, massive thrill, 1095 00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,840 was Sue Pollard. No, it was. 1096 00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:21,680 It was kind of his bloody name. He's such a thrill. 1097 00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:25,720 Harry Hill, my friend Rob Brydon. 1098 00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:27,240 Yeah. Who then phoned him and said 1099 00:56:27,240 --> 00:56:29,040 now, Alex, I can't do the voice very well now. 1100 00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:33,680 I just give you a few notes now when you come on at the start 1101 00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,880 and you I was like, OK, so it's fine, he's my mate. 1102 00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,800 He gave me some notes and then what else did I have? 1103 00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,400 His clearly rifling through. He says. 1104 00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:46,120 OK, so now when at 2, when you place the chair, why have you 1105 00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:47,440 got the chair? Why is the chair not in the 1106 00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:49,280 census? Well, that's what the director 1107 00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,400 said. OK, but I think really you want 1108 00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:54,440 that to be centre stage and all this stuff, which is fine, but 1109 00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:57,320 the next day you phone me back to see whether I'd implement it. 1110 00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:58,640 It's.
