MUSIC: Are You Gonna Be My Girl by Jet | 0:00:09 | 0:00:15 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your host for tonight - | 0:00:17 | 0:00:22 | |
Romesh Ranganathan! | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
CHEERING | 0:00:25 | 0:00:26 | |
MUSIC PLAYS | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
Good evening, Hammersmith Apollo. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
CHEERING | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
How are we doing? We good? | 0:00:44 | 0:00:45 | |
CHEERING | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
I'm hosting this bitch. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
CHEERING | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
Nice to be here, man. Nice to be here. I'm very excited. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
I'm really excited, man. I'll be honest, I'm a bit tired. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
I am tired, man. I'll tell you why - a few months ago, | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
my wife gave birth to our third child. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
CHEERING | 0:01:03 | 0:01:04 | |
Well, thank you very much, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:05 | |
but I don't know if I want a third child or not. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
It's just too many, innit? | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
I know it's late in the day to be having doubts, but... | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
Jesus Christ, there's too many people in the world. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
But I've had another one. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
Has anyone here got more than two kids? | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
UNENTHUSIASTIC CHEERING | 0:01:21 | 0:01:22 | |
See what I mean? It's a mistake. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
What a massive error, man, but what can you do? | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
You can't kill them. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
Just got to sit there and wait to die. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
just, "Ugh...happiness is gone, man, | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
"I'm just going to wait for this to end, I think." | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
First kid's lovely. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:39 | |
The second one's a prick - that-that's the honest truth of it. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
What an unacceptable human being this little arsehole is. I mean... | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
..we're doing these behaviour charts, man. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
You know, when they get stickers for if they're good. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
The first one, he's so lovely. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
SWEETLY: "Hello, Daddy. How can I help you, Daddy? | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
"Love you, Daddy." | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
So we got targets for him to get stickers like, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
"Be good today," "Be helpful to your friends." | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
The second one, you can't have those targets, man. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
You got to ratchet the targets down for this arsehole. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
You've got to have things like, "Don't burn anything." | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
"No knife crime." These are the... | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
These are the targets you've got to have for this shithead. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
Anyway, he got to a point...where he managed to get five stickers. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
Not that impressive - it's over a six-month period, right? | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
But he got five stickers and I said to him, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
"We can get you a couple of things, buy you a couple of presents." | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
Went down to the shop, he chose two things. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
He chose a Spider-Man costume | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
and he chose a little pushchair with a little doll in it. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
I said to him, "You can have both those things." | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
The problem was that he wanted to use those things at the same time. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
So the next time I went out with him, we're down the park | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
with this kid with a Spider-Man costume pushing a pushchair, | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
looking like a Father For Justice. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
Just a horrendous little tribute act. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
But it does make you worry, you know. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
It makes me worry, "Am I a good enough person to have kids?" | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
I don't know. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:17 | |
I'm trying to get more intellectual, starting to read articles and stuff, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
trying to be more newsy, get more newsy, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
get more clued-up about stuff. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:25 | |
I read this article recently about rap music. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
I'm a massive rap fan. Are there rap fans in? | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
CHEERING | 0:03:30 | 0:03:31 | |
Big up yourselves, yeah? | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
I'm a massive rap fan. I was reading this article, | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
it said that rap music can perpetuate negative stereotypes | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
about black people. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:40 | |
Because if you don't know any black people, | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
then you watch a Snoop Dogg video, | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
apparently you think all black people are like that. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
It's a very interesting article. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:49 | |
Also made me realise that I have 100% contributed to racism | 0:03:49 | 0:03:54 | |
throughout my life. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
And I'll tell you why - I'm such a grumpy prick when I'm out and about | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
that if you bumped into me and you were on the fence about Asians... | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
..I reckon I'd push you over. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
I think I'm part of the problem. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:13 | |
Because white people - you don't realise how lucky you are. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
If one of you is a prick to me, I just think you're a prick. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
I don't think all white people are pricks. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
I'm a bloody representative. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
Your interactions with me determine how you feel about brown people. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
It's all right if I'm in London - | 0:04:27 | 0:04:28 | |
there's enough browns to balance it out, right? | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
But if I'm in bloody Devon... | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
..I've got to behave like I'm C-3PO. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
AS C-3PO: "No, sir, I'm not a local." You know? And... | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
And, the truth is, I don't get that much racism. I get funny shit. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
I'll get like an older guy come up to me and go, | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
"Do you know what? You're one of the good ones." | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
And I think that's funny. I've got no issue with that. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
I think if you've got an issue with that, | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
you need to get the chip off your shoulder, do you know what I mean? | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
If you're older and you grew up in a time | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
when it's all right to say stuff like that, | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
and then times move on and you're not politically correct any more, | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
that's not your bloody fault. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
I think if you're older, you should just be given a card... | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
..that says, "I can call you what I want." | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
Cos older people have got enough shit to worry about | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
without worrying about being politically correct, haven't they? | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
"Got a false hip, I pissed myself this morning... | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
"..now you're telling me I can't say 'darkie'?!" You know? | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
I'm quite happy, if I bump into an older person, just to give them | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
the old wobble-head to make them feel comfortable. Know what I mean? | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
EXAGGERATED SOUTH ASIAN ACCENT: "Thank you very much, sir. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
"No problem at all. You're very kind." | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
"Bud-bud-ding-ding, two-ninety-nine." | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
It's just a sign of respect. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:56 | |
I started to... I did start to get worried, though, | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
because I was sort of thinking, in the run-up to the last election, | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
Ukip were starting to get popular | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
and I was thinking, "Oh, God. What does that mean for my family?" | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
And then I realised I don't actually know anything about Ukip. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
So I thought, you know, | 0:06:12 | 0:06:13 | |
"I'll go and check it out, see what they're all about." | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
I went to the website. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
Do you know what? It's a nice website. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
Easy-to-navigate menus. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
Just thought, "It's all right, I'm on board with this." | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
Started looking at the policies, start thinking, "Do you know what? | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
"I don't know if I disagree with a lot of this. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
"Want to take tax off the minimum wage, I'm in total agreement." | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
Got to the end of it and I thought, "Holy shit... | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
"I think I might be Ukip." | 0:06:36 | 0:06:37 | |
I got on the phone to my mum, I said to her, | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
"Mum, what have you REALLY contributed?" | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
And do you know what? I wasn't that happy with her answers. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
That's the honest truth of it. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:52 | |
She might have to go. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
My mum, she actually, um... | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
She doesn't think I'm a proper Asian. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
That's the sad thing about it. My mum calls me a coconut. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
Don't know if you've heard this term - | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
brown on the outside, white on the inside. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
That's what my mum calls me. "You're a coconut." | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
The reason my mum calls me a coconut | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
is because I'm originally Sri Lankan, | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
my mother tongue is Tamil, I can't speak it. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
And the reason I can't speak it is because my mum and dad | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
never spoke it to me when I was growing up, | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
and now I don't know it... | 0:07:32 | 0:07:33 | |
..and my mum blames me. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:36 | |
So she'd go to me... HE IMITATES TAMIL | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
"I don't know what you're on about." "Why don't you know?!" | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
And then we'll go out and my mum will slag me off | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
to her Sri Lankan friends in front of me. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
Like I don't know what's going on. Do you know what I mean? | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
HE IMITATES TAMIL "..coconut..." | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
"Er, I know what you're saying, Mum. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:00 | |
"I know what you're saying. I get the gist." | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
Then she'd try to code that shit up so I don't understand. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
HE IMITATES TAMIL "..Bounty..." | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
"I know what a Bounty is!" | 0:08:12 | 0:08:13 | |
HE IMITATES TAMIL "..Kinder Surprise..." | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
"All right, Mum!" | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
I worry about... I worry about lots of things. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
You know, getting older, I started to worry about the end of the world. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
I don't know if that's something anybody else worries about, | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
but I started to get really nervous about Ebola. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
Really scared the shit out of me. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
And I tell you why it scared the shit out of me - | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
because they've got screenings at the airports in this country, | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
and they're voluntary. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:50 | |
They're voluntary screenings, man! | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
Who is going to spend more time at the airport | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
to find out if they might have Ebola? | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
"I've got a massive Toblerone to tuck into, mate - | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
"I haven't got time to find out if I'm going to die today." | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
It's difficult enough to fly out of this country as it is, | 0:09:07 | 0:09:11 | |
the security measures are disgraceful. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
I'm going through a midlife crisis. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
I wore a camouflage jacket to Heathrow a few weeks ago. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
I might as well have said, "Could I please have a rectal exam?" | 0:09:18 | 0:09:22 | |
I said to my friends, "I'm done with this airport security. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:26 | |
"I'm so done with it. I'm fed up with it." | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
Do you know what she said to me? "Don't be so bloody selfish. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
"Do you know why we've got those security measures? | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
"Because we don't want the terrorists to win. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
"So why don't you suck it up, Romesh? | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
"We don't want the terrorists to win, OK?" | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
I understand that argument | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
but how do we know what the terrorists' initial goal was? | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
What if their initial goal was just to make air travel fucking annoying? | 0:09:49 | 0:09:54 | |
Because if that was their initial goal, mate, | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
they've smashed it out the park. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
"We don't want the terrorists to win." | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
"Yeah, just put your belt in that bucket, nobhead. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
"Congratulations on your victory." | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
"The infidels will have to take their shoes off even if it's an internal flight!" | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
HE LAUGHS EVILLY | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
There's lots of signs of the end of the world, aren't there? | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
These diseases are one of them. Another one is Gogglebox. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
It's definitely the end of the world, innit? | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
People are watching people watch television. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
Does that not feel like the end of the world to you? | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
Does anyone here watch Gogglebox? | 0:10:42 | 0:10:43 | |
CHEERING | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
Yeah, you should be executed. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
I can't believe this TV programme exists, man. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
I can't believe it. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:54 | |
What a damning indictment of every other piece of TV that's being made. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
Can you imagine, you poured your heart and soul into some drama | 0:10:58 | 0:11:03 | |
and you say, "How's the drama doing in the ratings?" | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
"Not that well, mate." "What's it being beaten by?" | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
"It's being beaten by some people that are WATCHING the drama." | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
What a kick in the dick. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
Listen, I don't deny it's entertaining. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
I don't deny it's entertaining watching Gogglebox | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
but the problem is it puts you under pressure in your own house. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
Puts you under pressure, man. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
I don't want to have performance anxiety before I watch TV. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
Cos I'll sit down to watch TV, we'll flick it on, Gogglebox is on, | 0:11:33 | 0:11:37 | |
they're all like banter, banter, banter. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
And then my wife will go, "Why is not like this when we watch TV?" | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
"I'll tell you why it's not like this, | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
"cos we switch this on so I don't have to talk to you." | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
That's the whole point of TV. "This has died, let's switch this on. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
"I've got my phone here, | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
"you're literally third in line in terms of my attention." | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
I know I don't sound like a good husband, I'm aware of that. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
I sort of realised I should be a better husband but I can't be arsed. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:14 | |
My wife deserves better, | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
she needs a better man but I've got no inclination to be that person. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
I'm sort of thinking what should I do? I decided the best solution - | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
let her have a boyfriend. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
I really think that's the best solution. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
Once you get over the initial stigma, | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
what a wonderful solution to the situation that is. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
Don't have to worry about childcare - | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
we've got an extra baby-sitter in Andy. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
You got a mate! | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
You don't have to worry about your sexual performance | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
cos Andy's smashing it on the regular. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
It's a win-win situation, and you can try and psyche each other out, | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |
you can say, "Andy, let's go out for a drink." | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
You know when you complain about your other half? | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
Now you're complaining about the same person. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
Complaining about the same person, bruv. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
You can try and psyche him out by saying things like, | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
"Isn't it weird when she does her multiple orgasm face? | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
"Oh, you haven't seen it?" | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
I'm addicted to my phone, man, I'm addicted to my phone. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
Are there any iPhone users in? | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
CHEERING | 0:13:20 | 0:13:21 | |
Any Android phone users in? | 0:13:21 | 0:13:22 | |
CHEERING | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
Yeah, I got a problem with you. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
What a self-satisfied, smug bunch of pricks you are. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:30 | |
Oh, my God. Aren't they proud of themselves | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
that they've got an Android... | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
"Have you got an iPhone?" "Er, no! | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
"I'm not a sheep. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
"I can make up my own mind about what phone I buy, | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
"thank you very much." | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
You haven't unplugged from The Matrix, all right? | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 | |
You're not off the grid because you bought a Samsung, all right? | 0:13:53 | 0:13:58 | |
It's a massive corporation, it's not a little family owned business, | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
two brothers Sam and Sung who set up a little market stall | 0:14:01 | 0:14:06 | |
and knock out phones. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
You're not better than me, all right? | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
And they love talking about the battery life, oh, my God. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
"I imagine you're looking for a plug point?" | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
Shut up, mate! | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
The shit battery life on smartphones is the best thing about them | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
cos when the battery runs out, then I'll interact with my kids. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
Cos I've got no willpower. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
I'll be down the park, I'll be like, "That's run out. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
"Better find out where they're going with those old men." | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
The phone companies have got to admit that they've made | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
the phones too good. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
They're too good for humans. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
They are. Because I'll be out with my wife and she'll say to me, | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
"Why are you constantly - you're constantly, you're constantly | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
"on the phone. You're constantly..." | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
"Why not, madam? | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
"I've got a little box here that can access any website, | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
"I can play games, I can watch films, | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
"why the fuck would I want to hear about your rash?" | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
"There is nothing you can say to me that can compete with this. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
"I'm watching Game Of Thrones. Say something better than that." | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
You ready for our first act this evening? | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, go wild, go crazy for the fantastic Jason Byrne! | 0:15:37 | 0:15:42 | |
CHEERING | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
Hello! | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
OK, so I was Australia, right? What a place. Any Australians here? | 0:15:58 | 0:16:03 | |
CHEERING | 0:16:03 | 0:16:04 | |
See? They sound like nice people, don't they? | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
They're not. They're horrible. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
You don't know this. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
You see them on the telly on Bondi Rescue going, | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
-AUSTRALIAN ACCENT: -"Look, we just rescued that guy. Aren't we nice? | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
"Yes, we are nice. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
"We're always nice. Look at this, it's nice here. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
"Do you want a smoothie? That'd be nice. We're nice." | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
They're not! | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
They say terrible things, right? | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
And the reason why they can say terrible things is that they | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
live miles away. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
And you can't get to them on time. They'll say something terrible, | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
it'll take you four days to get there, right? | 0:16:43 | 0:16:47 | |
Then by the time you get there you forget why you went there, right? | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
So, while I was there... | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
I left the place, I was leaving, cos my friend Tom, | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
he's from Perth, and he said, "Where are you going?" | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
I says, "I'm going back to Britain and Ireland. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
"I'll be there for the summer." And he went, | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
-AUSTRALIAN ACCENT: -"That'll be nice, the summer there, that'll be nice." | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
I went, "Well, not really. Be pretty shit, actually." | 0:17:06 | 0:17:10 | |
He's never left Australia. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
He went, "Well, it's not going to be as hot as here but it'll still be nice." | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
"No, it'll be kind of rainy and then sunny and then rainy again | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
"and then sunny and then cold, then really hot, then freezing, | 0:17:18 | 0:17:22 | |
then shit, then cloudy, rainy, snow. Don't know." | 0:17:22 | 0:17:27 | |
I said, "Britain and Ireland, they're quite cold, | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
"quite draughty places." | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
And I couldn't believe this! He went, "What's a draught?" | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
What's a draught?! | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
I went, "What do you mean you don't know what a draught is?" | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
He goes, "What is it?" | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
"Well, it's, er, it's in your house." | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
"That's where it exists, it goes into the bottom of the house | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
"and goes upstairs and, er... | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
"It's a draught, surely you know what a draught is." | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
He goes, "There's a breeze in your house?!" | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
He goes, "Is the front door open?" | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
"No. No, that's closed. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
"And there's a draught excluder along the bottom here, | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
"in the shape of a snake, to stop any type of wind getting in." | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
And your dad has gotten some tissue and stuffed it in the bottom lock | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
to stop any more breeze. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
In Britain and Ireland... | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
We're the only people in the world that will go asleep to this | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
noise, we don't mind. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:38 | |
We will go and sleep in our freezing cold rooms beside a window | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
and we will go asleep to this... We're the only people in the world | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
who do this. We lie down and go to sleep to... | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
HE MIMICS HARSH WIND CHANGING PITCH | 0:18:46 | 0:18:51 | |
We just like misery. That's what we're like. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
I've been doing stand-up 20 years now. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
I've been with my wife 18 years, which is great, | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
cos I love her, it's brilliant. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
Well done, all the ladies clapping. Well done. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
And this happened - the gastric flu came to our house, right? | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
Not at the door! | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
In a hood... | 0:19:40 | 0:19:41 | |
HE GROANS | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
"I'm the gastric flu." | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
I got it first, OK? I don't know if there's any doctors here | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
but what happens is you puke quite a lot on the gastric flu. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
And me being a man, I'm not a good patient, OK? | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
And I was getting sick and, as I was getting sick, | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
I thought my heart was stopping, | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
as I was getting sick. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
So I was in the toilet... | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
I called to my wife, "Brenda?" | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
She was in the kitchen, and 20 minutes later she came. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
She got in the doorway and went, "What? What?" | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
I said, "Every time I get sick, my heart stops beating. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:26 | |
"We might need to call an ambulance." | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
And she, erm, she walked away. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
I could have died there, girls, I could have died. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
Right? And then about a week later I got better and then she got it, OK? | 0:20:38 | 0:20:43 | |
I was delighted, right? | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
In a lovely way, in a loving way, delighted. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
OK? And she was really bad. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
She was getting sick every hour as well except she's a lady. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:02 | |
Oh, my God, she played the sickness to her advantage. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
Cos she was in the toilet - this is no lie - and she was getting sick | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
and at the same time she was trying on jeans. That is not a lie! | 0:21:08 | 0:21:13 | |
That is how mental women are. She was going... | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
And going, "Oh, my God, I'll be into these by 11 o'clock." | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
What?! | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
So she was shuffling around the house all day. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
She didn't do her hair or her make-up, she was in her | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
dressing gown, she was really ill, and I didn't even notice, right? | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
Cos I was better, so it didn't matter any more. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
So she sat down on the couch, | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
it was about a quarter to six in the evening, OK? | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
And I looked at her and said something you should never | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
say to a lady at that hour, never, no matter where you are. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
I looked at her and I said, | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
"Erm... Any chance of a dinner?" | 0:21:50 | 0:21:54 | |
She looked at me and she went, "What did you just say?" | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
In my innocence I went, "Erm... It's just that it's a quarter to six | 0:22:09 | 0:22:14 | |
"and, erm, normally there's some sort of preparation in that area. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:19 | |
"Like pots and pans. Is that... | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
"is that not happening tonight, no?" | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
She stood up and went, "Have you not seen how sick I am? | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
"Puking everywhere, I've got a fever, | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
"I just want someone to hold me!" | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
She then just drifted off through the house, right? | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
I could hear her like a ghost, just banging into shit and puking | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
and pissing and moaning, right? | 0:22:45 | 0:22:49 | |
Oh, and nobody got a dinner, by the way. Nobody. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:53 | |
Me and the lads had to have Cheerios, which is disgraceful! | 0:22:53 | 0:22:57 | |
So this went on all day, | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
the moaning and no matter what I did it didn't matter. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
So about half ten at night I said, "Feck this, I'm going to bed, | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
"I can't listen to this shit any more, right?" | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
So I went up to bed and I was reading a book | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
and about 11 o'clock when the kids are asleep, | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
my wife appeared in the doorway, right? | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
It was amazing. She had her bare leg and she was rubbing it up | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
and down the doorframe. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
She looked at me and she went, "Do you fancy a bit of whoop-de-do?" | 0:23:22 | 0:23:27 | |
I'm a married man - a lot of married people know what I'm talking about - | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
that stuff doesn't just happen. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
I put the book down and went, "Er, yes, please." | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
"I'd very much like some whoop-de-do, if that's OK." | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
So she went, "Wait there," and she left. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:49 | |
I took my socks off. I don't know why you do that. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
Got some baby wipes, had a shower in the bed. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:56 | |
Watch out for the baby fresh smell, girls, | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
when you return to the bedroom. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
And she appeared back in the doorway, right? | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
And she was wearing a negligee, she looked amazing, | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
I couldn't believe it! | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
She just looked gorgeous, and she had flowers covering this bit | 0:24:18 | 0:24:23 | |
and this bit and there was a deer jumping over here. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:27 | |
Men are so unusual, girls, we love to nearly see things. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
That's what we like to see - nearly. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
I've seen that a thousand times but still I was in the bed going, | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
"Oh, my God, what's behind the flowers? | 0:24:38 | 0:24:42 | |
"Oh, my God, she's hiding something. That deer's a dirty deer. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:46 | |
"What's the deer doing? It's a dirty deer, it's jumping over something | 0:24:46 | 0:24:50 | |
"and it's dirty. I'm going to find out what it is! | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
"Dirty! Dirty, dirty deer. A dirty deer." | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
She then got... | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
she then got into the bed in her negligee. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
It was still on, I was so excited. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
She started kissing me very gently on the face, right? | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
It was very nice, very beautiful. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
I was going, "Oh, my God, I'm loving this." | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
Then it was my go and be careful, lads, | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
if you haven't kissed your wife that gentle for a while, | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
don't mess it up cos you can mess it up just like that. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
If you stick your nose in her eye, it's all over. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
That's how quick it can happen. Just kiss, kiss, eye. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:27 | |
"Me feckin' eye! | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
"I'm not in humour any more, that's over, this is over, | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
"it's finished. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
"I'm going downstairs to watch Bake Off, you can sort yourself out." | 0:25:34 | 0:25:37 | |
That wouldn't happen to a bloke. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
Even if your eye fell out in the middle of it... | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
Your wife would be going, "What's wrong with you?" | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
"Me eye fell out!" | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
"Your what?" "Me eye! It's in me hand." | 0:26:04 | 0:26:09 | |
"Do you want to stop?" "No! | 0:26:10 | 0:26:14 | |
"Here, I'll put me eye on your arse, it'll be all right." | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
"Oh, my God, I can see meself banging you - that's weird!" | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
So... | 0:26:25 | 0:26:26 | |
So... | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
You have to be careful... | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
I am not sitting beside my wife when this goes on telly. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
So... | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
I kiss her very gently, avoiding the eye, right? | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
And she was really liking it, she was going, | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
"Oh, my God, you're such a beautiful husband, I love you so much. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
"Keep kissing me. Oh, I love it there, that's lovely as well. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
"Oh, my God, you're so brilliant, I love you." | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
She's American for this bit, I don't know why. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:02 | |
"I love you, keep kissing me, keep kissing me." | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
And then she must have been really liking it cos she turned around | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
and put her back to me and she went, "Do you want to try it this way?" | 0:27:08 | 0:27:12 | |
I just went, "Oh, yeah." | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
She put her back to me and she edged up to me and went... | 0:27:15 | 0:27:19 | |
HE MAKES FART NOISE | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
She then turned around, faced me, and went, "Ha! | 0:27:22 | 0:27:26 | |
"Ya feckin' idiot! | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
"I told you I was sick!" | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
She goes, "I've been holding that in for an hour! | 0:27:39 | 0:27:43 | |
"You want to see your face, | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
"you actually thought you were going to get it, didn't you?!" | 0:27:46 | 0:27:50 | |
She got out of the bed, took off the negligee, | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
put her pyjamas back on - with the rabbits and the cats on it, right? - | 0:27:53 | 0:27:57 | |
got back in, put a hot water bottle on her chest | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
and laughed herself to sleep. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:03 | |
Thanks a million, ladies and gentlemen, you've been brilliant! | 0:28:03 | 0:28:06 | |
Jason Byrne, ladies and gentlemen. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:17 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, ready for our next act? | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
Oh, yes, we are. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:25 | |
Please go wild and crazy for the fantastic Stewart Francis! | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |
CHEERING | 0:28:28 | 0:28:32 | |
Thank you, thank you very much. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:47 | |
Let me just start by saying that it is an absolute pleasure... | 0:28:47 | 0:28:51 | |
No, it is an absolute privilege | 0:28:51 | 0:28:53 | |
to watch me perform. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:56 | |
I don't have any parents. | 0:28:56 | 0:28:59 | |
That I know of. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:01 | |
I don't think that's how it goes. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:08 | |
Of course I have parents. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:10 | |
People say I sound very immature | 0:29:10 | 0:29:11 | |
whenever I talk about my mommy and daddy. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:15 | |
Those people are poo-poo heads. | 0:29:15 | 0:29:17 | |
With stinky bums. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:21 | |
Are my neighbours pleased I bought a didgeridoo? | 0:29:23 | 0:29:26 | |
-No waaa-aah... -HE IMITATES DIDGERIDOO | 0:29:26 | 0:29:29 | |
The seven of diamonds. | 0:29:39 | 0:29:41 | |
Sorry, my mind's playing tricks with me. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:44 | |
I recently did a very tasteless joke at an alopecia convention. | 0:29:48 | 0:29:52 | |
Fortunately, it didn't raise any eyebrows. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:55 | |
Today, my yoga instructor was really drunk, | 0:30:01 | 0:30:04 | |
which put me in an awkward position. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:06 | |
It's important in life that we overcome our fears. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:13 | |
I once had a fear of climbing chestnut trees | 0:30:13 | 0:30:15 | |
but I conquered it. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:17 | |
There's some sick people in the world. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:23 | |
Someone recently broke into my 97-year-old grandmother's flat | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
and stole her limbo dancing trophy. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:28 | |
How low can you get? Seriously. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
Some people wear too much mascara! | 0:30:32 | 0:30:35 | |
Sorry, I hate when I lash out. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:37 | |
Try not to rate women on a scale of one to ten | 0:30:40 | 0:30:43 | |
but today at my poetry class I metaphor. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:46 | |
I love games, although I hate Scrabble. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:51 | |
I hate Scrabble so much I can't put it into words, I just... | 0:30:51 | 0:30:55 | |
Hate's a strong word. Hated is stronger. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:01 | |
Worth more points. | 0:31:01 | 0:31:03 | |
I love Twister. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:06 | |
And although I recently met a beautiful woman playing Twister, | 0:31:06 | 0:31:09 | |
I don't know where I stand with her. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:12 | |
She was the best Twister player I've ever seen, hands down. | 0:31:12 | 0:31:16 | |
For me it's always hard talking to a pretty woman. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:21 | |
And then she'll notice it and it'll go soft again. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:24 | |
Is my French wife into golden showers? | 0:31:30 | 0:31:33 | |
Oui. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:34 | |
Oui, oui, oui. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:37 | |
Toilet roll company Velvet | 0:31:38 | 0:31:40 | |
say they replace three trees for every one tree they use. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:43 | |
I don't know, it sounds like a lot of shit to me. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:46 | |
I'm obsessed with toilet humour, according to my therapist, | 0:31:48 | 0:31:51 | |
who is built like a brick shithouse. | 0:31:51 | 0:31:53 | |
He accused me of being an in-denial stalker. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:57 | |
I said, "I don't follow." | 0:31:57 | 0:31:59 | |
He said, "I think you like to stalk people, | 0:32:01 | 0:32:03 | |
"you just refuse to acknowledge it." | 0:32:03 | 0:32:04 | |
I said, "I'm not with you." | 0:32:04 | 0:32:06 | |
All of these jokes are in my autobiography. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:10 | |
I've not been able to sell one copy of my autobiography. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:13 | |
Story of my life. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:17 | |
And yet, on the best seller list, the book I wrote about poo puns | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
has just gone number two. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:24 | |
Poo puns, I do do them. | 0:32:26 | 0:32:28 | |
I do do other puns. | 0:32:30 | 0:32:32 | |
I will be doing puns about Canadian wildlife. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:35 | |
Bear with me. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:37 | |
I don't do puns about lions. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:39 | |
I pride myself on that. | 0:32:39 | 0:32:40 | |
If you're hoping I don't do puns about people with crooked teeth, | 0:32:42 | 0:32:45 | |
brace yourself. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:46 | |
If you're waiting for me to do a pun about Peter Crouch wearing armour, | 0:32:48 | 0:32:51 | |
you're in for a long night. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:53 | |
I've been doing puns about Motown music ever since I was three, | 0:32:58 | 0:33:02 | |
four tops. | 0:33:02 | 0:33:03 | |
I now live in a caravan. I don't like living in a caravan. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:08 | |
It's only when I moved my caravan beside a driving range | 0:33:08 | 0:33:11 | |
that it really hit home. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:13 | |
How many golf puns do I have? | 0:33:14 | 0:33:16 | |
AUDIENCE: Fore! | 0:33:16 | 0:33:18 | |
No, just the one. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:19 | |
Fore - that's hilarious. | 0:33:19 | 0:33:21 | |
Well done, you. How did I miss that? | 0:33:21 | 0:33:24 | |
I feel I let you down. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:26 | |
I'll never do that to you again. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
The first transgender person I ever met was my aunt, | 0:33:29 | 0:33:32 | |
who was like a father to me. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:34 | |
Even though it was 21 years ago that my father choked to death on sushi, | 0:33:38 | 0:33:42 | |
it's still pretty raw. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:44 | |
A lot of people think that my dad was a weirdo. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:49 | |
But he wasn't, he was a lovely man - and a great kisser. | 0:33:49 | 0:33:52 | |
My brother who's terrified of revolving doors | 0:33:56 | 0:33:59 | |
is always in and out of hospital. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:02 | |
My other brother who's impotent | 0:34:02 | 0:34:04 | |
is a graffiti artist that you may have heard of - Blanksy? | 0:34:04 | 0:34:08 | |
Don't worry, he's not here. | 0:34:08 | 0:34:10 | |
He couldn't come. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:12 | |
My other brother, we're very proud of him, | 0:34:15 | 0:34:17 | |
he's Canada's first openly straight choreographer. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:20 | |
He's got four kids, their ages are five, six, seven, eight. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:24 | |
You guys have been amazing. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:29 | |
There's old saying - time really flies when you're having fun and... | 0:34:29 | 0:34:32 | |
Oh, for fuck's sake. | 0:34:32 | 0:34:34 | |
I do have to leave. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:38 | |
They say if you love what you do then it's not a job | 0:34:38 | 0:34:41 | |
and I can, hand on heart, say this is the best job I've ever had. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:45 | |
I've had a lot of jobs. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:47 | |
I've had 12, 24, 36 - literally dozens of jobs. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:51 | |
I've had so many jobs it's difficult to remember them all. | 0:34:53 | 0:34:56 | |
I think I used to repair microwave ovens. | 0:34:56 | 0:34:58 | |
That rings a bell. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:01 | |
Working in a dark warehouse full of dildos always gave me the willies. | 0:35:01 | 0:35:05 | |
Arriving at the stencil factory, I knew I had my work cut out for me. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:12 | |
That was just the shape of things to come. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:15 | |
I was recently fired as a, uh, Boy Scout leader. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:19 | |
I wasn't prepared for that. | 0:35:19 | 0:35:22 | |
I had a fantastic career making wedding bouquets | 0:35:22 | 0:35:24 | |
but I threw it away. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:27 | |
I used to work in search and rescue | 0:35:27 | 0:35:28 | |
which I always had a flair for. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:32 | |
Why was I fired as a gynaecologist? | 0:35:32 | 0:35:34 | |
I'd rather not go into it. | 0:35:34 | 0:35:35 | |
Was I a fantastic telephone receptionist? | 0:35:39 | 0:35:42 | |
Uh, hello? | 0:35:42 | 0:35:44 | |
I used to be a professional table tennis player in Southeast Asia. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:49 | |
-HE CLICKS HIS TONGUE -That was my coach's name. | 0:35:49 | 0:35:52 | |
Lovely man. Great kisser. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:55 | |
I watch doomsday films like there's no tomorrow. | 0:35:57 | 0:36:00 | |
I now live here in the UK. I go back to Canada on holiday. | 0:36:02 | 0:36:05 | |
Highly recommend it, fantastic country. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:07 | |
I do notice when I go back there that they have the same shows | 0:36:07 | 0:36:10 | |
as we have over here, just with different names. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:13 | |
In Canada they have a show called Cheaters | 0:36:13 | 0:36:15 | |
where married people and people in relationships cheat with | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
other married people and people in relationships. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:20 | |
Over here it's called Strictly Come Dancing. | 0:36:20 | 0:36:23 | |
How many Len Goodman puns do I have? | 0:36:26 | 0:36:28 | |
AUDIENCE: Seven! | 0:36:28 | 0:36:30 | |
No, just the one. | 0:36:30 | 0:36:31 | |
Seven - that's hilarious. Well done, you. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:34 | |
I feel I let you down. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:37 | |
I'll never do that again. | 0:36:37 | 0:36:39 | |
In Canada, they have a programme called Pointless. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:43 | |
Over here, it's called The One Show. | 0:36:43 | 0:36:45 | |
Goodnight, Apollo. Thank you so much. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:53 | |
Stewart Francis, ladies and gentlemen! | 0:37:00 | 0:37:03 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, have you enjoyed yourselves tonight? | 0:37:07 | 0:37:10 | |
CHEERING | 0:37:10 | 0:37:12 | |
Give it up for our guests tonight - Mr Jason Byrne! | 0:37:12 | 0:37:16 | |
And Mr Stewart Francis! | 0:37:17 | 0:37:19 | |
I've been Romesh Ranganathan, thank you very much, goodnight! | 0:37:21 | 0:37:24 |
