We Are All In The Gutter, But Some Of Us Are Looking At The Gutter About In 2023, after 20 years of stand up, I did Britain’s Got Talent. People asked me, “why now?”. Up until that point I’d been very happy avoiding TV & fame - and in that sense, I’d been hugely successful! However, the year before, I’d also had a stroke and lost half my eyesight. I was now keen to talk about my experience, comedically, to as wide an audience as possible. I did quite well, got to the semi-finals & had my 15 minutes fame. Careful what you wish for! Who knew that talking about my experience would be so offensive? How dare I make jokes about my own strokes & blindness! “You nasty, awful man”. This is a candid and hilarious new stand-up hour, talking about who I am, in an era where people are really keen to hear about who you are, so long as who you are, is something they want to hear about. Otherwise “you deserve your stroke”
