I did not know this.
I mean, yeah, I mean, you know, people might have faults with Joe Biden, but I can't imagine he's got a questionnaire asking people what they felt of Chappelle's last special.
Yeah, he's a great... He hasn't done stand-up for many years. But again, so clearly they've asked a lot of people in the north of England. But he was a phenomenal comedian. He was really like in his pomp. My God. Yeah, he was... He basically played the role of a...
light entertainer who um ever his life had unraveled and he used to do like live pottery on stage this is kind of like yeah this is like the mid 90s and um he he would have a story about uh how his dad made him eat his pet rabbit it was all like really dark and he was like making pottery as he did it oh Um, yeah, so I doubt, but, but maybe, you know, maybe people had seen him live.
Yeah, he's a really, he's a really gentle soul. He's wonderful. He's really, really funny. But yeah, there's, I'm trying to think, there's a great clip of him. He did Just for Laughs, the Montreal Comedy Festival.
I think, you know, you've got to do seven minutes. They have lawyers who check your jokes, all very kind of regimented. And I think he went on and did 15 minutes. And obviously, this was before the, you know, the stories about, no, no, the stories that came out about Bill Cosby, because he kept saying, I could have been.
the next Bill Cosby but you lot had to fucking play God and it's just this utterly bewildered Canadian audience but it's pretty legendary it's worth a spin if you want to see a great comedian going down in flames then I would recommend it
Well, basically there's a big magazine called Heat over here, which is like a sort of a showbiz mag. And I was voted the, yeah, the weird crush. So the person that I guess women and some men fancied but felt terrible about. So it's kind of, it says a lot about kind of like male ego that I was kind of delighted with.
But like, like as in, like, I just can't imagine a world in which like, like people going off, is there a girl you fancy, but you'd feel fucking awful for admitting it. So you know what I mean? That's the thing that would be, but that would be, that would make the press like if people were saying that they, so yeah, I was kind of, I was, uh, essentially the nation's pity fuck.
That's kind of what I was.
yeah yeah so it's kind of like it's kind of weird really because I would describe myself as a famous comedian rather than a celebrity you know and it's kind of so I've never really been to kind of red carpets or anything like that I've been to you know I went to my sister's my sister did a premiere for a film once and I went to the in-betweeners film but aside from that it's just not my thing I don't really sort of so I've never looked in that kind of world of showbiz but
But I've been on TV for like 20 odd years and, you know, done arenas. People know you. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So it's kind of, so when I do, yeah, when I kind of do press, then sometimes it kind of like my, during COVID, we were supposed to be going on my brother's stag to, you call it a bachelor party. Yeah, yeah. But obviously we couldn't.
And I was doing an interview with Lorraine, who's a really lovely kind of early morning kind of TV host. And I got out a kind of pint of cider because it was supposed to be. My brother stagged it and just kind of downed it. Just was in the middle of this, you know, like, you know, essentially news more just like drinking like. Yeah.
like really rough cider and that went pretty wild like it was kind of all over just like how it drinks for breakfast and it was just a joke to my brother and all his cousins so yeah i have to be pretty um you think sometimes yeah it's just that odd thing isn't it of like you know like
like even in the special that that is true that line of you know it was in the paper that somebody said that i was obsessed with the idea of running a gym but only for grannies so it's just kind of yeah things i say on podcasts sometimes end up in the press so it's pretty wild well we can only hope yeah
Oh, that'd be amazing.
Yes. And it's fascinating. It must go against everything that you think of of British people.
Yeah, it's funny, isn't it? Like America, it's so lovely to come to America because you sort of regard us as like these...
regal noble beasts and yet it's because we're far away from you we're close we're close to europe and they know the truth about us the truth is that we have a dating show for people who don't know what naked attraction is where the people meet naked and um you have like five women or five men behind five kind of capsules and um you sort of gradually you know you you lift it up pelvis
You start from the pelvis, so you'll just, you know, you'll just see the cock or vagina of the, of your potential, you know, fiance. Yeah. And they, they literally kind of talk about their bits like, like.
