2. Since you’re a comedian, is there a lot of pressure to be funny on a first date?
Tons. The best thing to do is keep it a secret. Tell the poor thing you’re a tree surgeon or an athlete. That way any glimmer of amusement you squeeze out will be seen as a bonus.
6. When and/or why did you decide to become a comedian?
Well, I always made people laugh but I never intended to become a comedian. I just couldn’t dance around a pole at that bar any more back in Alabama because most of the people tip in coins. And quarters hurt when people throw them at you.
4. A movie that made you cry?
I don’t really watch films, there are too many women walking on, and things moving, and men wearing hats, I can’t keep up with them.
5. What do you do when you get sad?
We don’t get sad. Life is good. We do comedy for a living! We do a 7 hour week, we don’t have a boss and we can drink beer at work. We can’t believe our luck!
8. What do you want to be when you grow up?
An army (that was my stock answer aged 3 and I’m sticking with it).
An amusing satirical take on the health, beauty and “wellness” industries, this is not a stand up act, it is an entire performance! Complete with a plethora of interactive characters as well as powerpoint presentations and visual aids (such as rocks that are hand sourced by underweight Javanese orphans, available to purchase – of course!).
1. Describe your show Twitter style, 140 characters or less!
UK bloke tries 2 walk Israeli wall in W Bank, arrested, stoned by kids, meets nice ppl + nutters, weird funny bit sad eats too much humus.
2. Since you’re a comedian, is there a lot of pressure to be funny on a first date?
I love how you assume I go on first dates.
Our compare was the incomparable Adam Richards, who got more and more outlandish as the night progressed, perhaps due to his self proclaimed love of alcohol and the inability to say no to people, once even coming on stage shirtless to announce the next act!
I wasn’t sure what to expect from East End Cabaret – was it meant to be set in East Germany, some kind of black comedy play within a play that would end up annoying me and making me feel dumb?
1. Describe your show Twitter style, 140 characters or less!
An autobiographical show that asks if my life is interesting enough to talk about for an hour.
6. When and/or why did you decide to become a comedian?
I wanted to be a lawyer but my parents constantly pressured me to get into the arts. “Make sure you study how to be a singing clown so you have a backup career” they’d say. They were right.
