That happened.

The thing in the film, the reconciliation...

The fact that my wife, who was divorced, comes to a comedy club where I'm on stage telling jokes about it is the thing that people go, they've only put that in because it's the only one film.

That's the thing that happened.

That's the real thing that happened.

She wasn't with a big sporting legend in Peyton Manning.

She was with her mates from work.

Because I was in the frog and bucket.

And I was on stage.

And I used to do this joke, which is where I used to say, try and let all the ladies in the room know that I was a single fella.

I used to say, look, I'm really sad at the moment because me and my wife aren't together.

The audience go, oh, it's not that bad.

We're not divorced or anything.

I've just killed her.

but I knew I was gonna miss it, so I've kept her head in the fridge.

It's a terrible joke, but as I said that, the head that was meant to be in the fridge, I could see it in the audience, and I was on stage, and when you're on stage, there's always a little drift of light, and I could see it, and we were literally at the final stages of the divorce, and I remember thinking, that's gonna cost me another 10 grand.

That joke's not worth it.

And then she, but everything else that sort of transpired after was really very realistic.

You know, the air coming up to me going, you know, what's all that about?

And it just, it was so, it was so good to see.
