0:00:18 > 0:00:24Ladies and gentleman, please welcome your host for tonight, Andy Parsons!

0:00:28 > 0:00:32AUDIENCE CHEERS

0:00:42 > 0:00:44Good evening, ladies and gentlemen...

0:00:44 > 0:00:47CHEERING ..and welcome to Live At The Apollo.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49- AUDIENCE:- Whoo!

0:00:49 > 0:00:50How are we doing? Are we all right?

0:00:50 > 0:00:52CHEERING

0:00:52 > 0:00:56Cos they say, right, that even though we're in a recession,

0:00:56 > 0:01:00they're saying that the sale of alcohol has gone up

0:01:00 > 0:01:02over the last couple of years...

0:01:02 > 0:01:06- Whoo!- ..as have the sale of pies.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11That is the British way to deal with a crisis, isn't it?

0:01:11 > 0:01:16Oh, well, if we're going to be poor, we may as well be fat and pissed.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18LAUGHTER

0:01:22 > 0:01:25But you could argue there's a lot of people in Britain at the moment

0:01:25 > 0:01:28who have, in fact, got too much money.

0:01:28 > 0:01:29I would personally argue

0:01:29 > 0:01:32anybody who's ever bought the autobiography

0:01:32 > 0:01:34of the talking meerkat,

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Aleksandr Orlov...

0:01:37 > 0:01:39..you have too much money.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44Anybody who's ever bought glow-in-the-dark loo roll,

0:01:44 > 0:01:46you have too much money.

0:01:46 > 0:01:47Anybody who's ever bought

0:01:47 > 0:01:51a cosy sofa blanket with sleeves, called a Slanket...

0:01:53 > 0:01:57Oh, yes, I've got some guilty people in my audience tonight.

0:01:59 > 0:02:04I would also say that anybody who regularly buys Innocent smoothies.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08How expensive are they?

0:02:10 > 0:02:15£2.49 for a bottle the size of a specimen sample...

0:02:17 > 0:02:19..and they have the cheek to call them Innocent.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25Go to a supermarket, buy a banana.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28It will cost you 20 pence.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32Take a big bite, go, mw-mw-mw-mwoo!

0:02:33 > 0:02:37You will just have saved yourself £2.29.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40LAUGHTER

0:02:44 > 0:02:47So, in the audience tonight, ladies and gentlemen,

0:02:47 > 0:02:50we have Ben Brown, Ben Brown from BBC News!

0:02:50 > 0:02:53CHEERING

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Ben, of course, he's been to Chechnya,

0:02:56 > 0:02:58he's been to Iraq,

0:02:58 > 0:03:00he's been to Kosovo, he's been to Afghanistan.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03I'm guessing he's not going to sign up

0:03:03 > 0:03:05for a second series of Celebrity Coach Trip.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Obviously, we have been in Afghanistan

0:03:09 > 0:03:12coming up for ten years.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15And the reason we went into Afghanistan to begin with,

0:03:15 > 0:03:19was we went in with the help of Pakistan to try and find Al-Qaeda.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23Now it appears that Al-Qaeda have in fact, left Afghanistan

0:03:23 > 0:03:25and gone to Pakistan,

0:03:25 > 0:03:28but we can't actually go and find them in Pakistan

0:03:28 > 0:03:30because Pakistan is our friend

0:03:30 > 0:03:33and they're still helping us look for them in Afghanistan.

0:03:33 > 0:03:37LAUGHTER

0:03:37 > 0:03:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:03:42 > 0:03:45The government we're currently supporting in Afghanistan,

0:03:45 > 0:03:46Transparency International,

0:03:46 > 0:03:49they reckon that they are the second most corrupt government

0:03:49 > 0:03:51in the world,

0:03:51 > 0:03:53second only to Somalia,

0:03:53 > 0:03:57which, of course, doesn't have a government at all.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Somalia is where the pirates are.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02These pirates who say, "We weren't always pirates.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05"We were fishermen, but because we don't have a government,

0:04:05 > 0:04:07"a lot of countries took the piss.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09"They came and fished in our waters,

0:04:09 > 0:04:11"so we realised we had to arm ourselves.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14"Then, once we'd armed ourselves,

0:04:14 > 0:04:18"we realised we didn't have to do any fishing, any more."

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Although you're thinking,

0:04:20 > 0:04:22"They could go back to fishing, couldn't they?"

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Let's face it, I don't think too many people

0:04:24 > 0:04:27are going to be doing too much fishing off the coast of Somalia

0:04:27 > 0:04:29for some time to come.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Although, that is the sort of extreme fishing

0:04:32 > 0:04:36I would love to see Robson Green doing.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38LAUGHTER

0:04:38 > 0:04:40CHEERING

0:04:41 > 0:04:44We'd pay good money, wouldn't we, to see Robson Green

0:04:44 > 0:04:48in a small fishing boat, off the coast of Mogadishu,

0:04:48 > 0:04:52singing at the top of his voice, Unchained Melody?

0:04:55 > 0:04:58But you wonder if some of the things that we've put in place

0:04:58 > 0:04:59to combat terrorism,

0:04:59 > 0:05:01whether these measures are proportional

0:05:01 > 0:05:03to the threat that we actually face.

0:05:03 > 0:05:04The FBI were forced to admit

0:05:04 > 0:05:06that the Times Square bomber in New York -

0:05:06 > 0:05:08they said he was an amateur -

0:05:08 > 0:05:13the reason was, is he had in fact used non-explosive fertiliser.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15Yeah, he hadn't created a bomb -

0:05:15 > 0:05:19he'd basically created a garden in the back of his SUV.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24If he'd been a suicide bomber, he'd have pulled the pin on his jacket

0:05:24 > 0:05:27and a little bit of compost would have trickled down his leg.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31And even in this country,

0:05:31 > 0:05:34we've had a few problems with the police, haven't we?

0:05:34 > 0:05:36They were criticised for the Raoul Moat killing

0:05:36 > 0:05:39because they'd used two Tasers on him,

0:05:39 > 0:05:42two Tasers that weren't authorised for use.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Turns out, in America, 43 out of 50 states,

0:05:44 > 0:05:46Tasers are legal for the police,

0:05:46 > 0:05:48but get this -

0:05:48 > 0:05:51they are also legal for the general public.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53Oh, that is incredible, isn't it?

0:05:53 > 0:05:56I'm grateful they're not legal in this country.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Cos let's face it, if you had one, you'd be tempted, wouldn't you?

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Oh, some yob riding his bike on the pavement,

0:06:02 > 0:06:05bumps into somebody - Taser.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Some bloke jumps the queue in Tesco - Taser.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Next door neighbour,

0:06:11 > 0:06:13cat shit in your garden...

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Taser.

0:06:15 > 0:06:20God squad knocking on your door, nine o'clock, Sunday morning...

0:06:21 > 0:06:23"Can you see the light?"

0:06:23 > 0:06:25"No, but you're about to!"

0:06:25 > 0:06:26LAUGHTER

0:06:26 > 0:06:29CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:06:33 > 0:06:37And we have Nick Knowles, Nick Knowles from DIY SOS in!

0:06:37 > 0:06:40CHEERING

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Nick Knowles, a man I am reliably informed

0:06:43 > 0:06:46is like catnip to menopausal women.

0:06:52 > 0:06:53But a lot of these celebrities,

0:06:53 > 0:06:57they're all taking out super-injunctions now, aren't they?

0:06:57 > 0:07:00Andrew Marr confessed he'd had a super-injunction to prevent

0:07:00 > 0:07:03some woman from telling that he was having an affair.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06This woman was a journalist and you're thinking,

0:07:06 > 0:07:09"Surely if you're going to have an affair,

0:07:09 > 0:07:13"don't have an affair with somebody who writes for a living.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15"Have an affair with Wayne Rooney."

0:07:17 > 0:07:19He's never going to be able to write, is he?

0:07:19 > 0:07:22You're thinking when he's got to sign his own name,

0:07:22 > 0:07:26that man has days when he has to check the back of his shirt...

0:07:27 > 0:07:29..and even then, he writes down "10".

0:07:32 > 0:07:34APPLAUSE

0:07:38 > 0:07:40But you'd hope, wouldn't you...?

0:07:40 > 0:07:44I guess celebrities, like everybody, just want to be happy

0:07:44 > 0:07:47and I always think I would love Adele to be happy.

0:07:47 > 0:07:52Adele, she's had two award-winning albums, 19 and 21,

0:07:52 > 0:07:5421 - a lot of you I'm sure have got it -

0:07:54 > 0:07:57best-selling album in the world this year

0:07:57 > 0:08:00and you listen to it and you think, "I'm not sure she is happy."

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Track number one - Rolling In The Deep.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07She and a bloke, they could have had it all,

0:08:07 > 0:08:09but sadly they haven't.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13Moving on to track number two - Rumour Has It.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16We find out why she's not had a great time with her bloke -

0:08:16 > 0:08:20cos her bloke has pissed off with somebody else

0:08:20 > 0:08:22and they now have it all.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25So then it's track number three, Turning Tables.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29She and her bloke, they're at war,

0:08:29 > 0:08:32but she doesn't know what they're fighting for.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Well, I'm guessing they're fighting

0:08:34 > 0:08:37cos he's pissed off with another woman.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39So track number four, Don't You Remember?

0:08:39 > 0:08:43No, he doesn't remember, because he's not there, cos he's pissed off.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48So track number five - she decides she's so unhappy

0:08:48 > 0:08:49she sets fire to the rain.

0:08:49 > 0:08:54Only thing is the rain burns and she starts crying.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Track number six - He Won't Go.

0:08:56 > 0:09:02Fairly self-explanatory - he went, now he's come back, how he won't go.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Track number seven, Take It All -

0:09:04 > 0:09:07now he has gone, but he's taken it all.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10Track number eight, I'll Be Waiting.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13Yes, so he went, he came back,

0:09:13 > 0:09:15he wouldn't go, he's taken it all,

0:09:15 > 0:09:17now he's pissed off again

0:09:17 > 0:09:20and she's waiting for him to come back.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23Track number nine, One And Only -

0:09:23 > 0:09:26she has decided that he is the one and only.

0:09:26 > 0:09:31Sadly, he's not decided that she is the one and only,

0:09:31 > 0:09:33because he's not there, cos he's pissed off.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38So track number ten, Love Song - you're thinking this sounds better,

0:09:38 > 0:09:40then you listen to the lyrics...

0:09:40 > 0:09:44"Oh, whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel fun again

0:09:44 > 0:09:48"Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel young again."

0:09:48 > 0:09:50You're thinking, "She's only 21!

0:09:51 > 0:09:54"How young does this bloke make her feel?!"

0:09:55 > 0:09:58It seems she's finally found somebody,

0:09:58 > 0:10:00only she's found a sodding paedophile!

0:10:02 > 0:10:04APPLAUSE

0:10:08 > 0:10:11So you've come to the last track on the album,

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Someone Like You.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17This bloke has gone and married somebody else,

0:10:17 > 0:10:19so she wants to find somebody like him.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23This is the bloke who she fought a war with,

0:10:23 > 0:10:28made her cry, left her, came back, wouldn't go, took everything,

0:10:28 > 0:10:31then went, married somebody else,

0:10:31 > 0:10:33and made her dress like an 11-year-old!

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Surely she should write a track,

0:10:37 > 0:10:41Somebody Never Like You Ever, Ever Again -

0:10:41 > 0:10:44After 12 Songs, I've Learned Me Sodding Lesson!

0:10:45 > 0:10:48WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE

0:10:54 > 0:10:56But things can change very quickly.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58If things are going well,

0:10:58 > 0:11:00and I hope they are, things can change very quickly.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02A lot of people in Britain

0:11:02 > 0:11:04thought the volcanic ash crisis was bullshit.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Turns out it's a very real phenomenon.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Happened over Indonesia, a big ash cloud,

0:11:08 > 0:11:11British Airways flight went through it.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14And basically, there is a transcript

0:11:14 > 0:11:18of what the pilot came on the Tannoy and said to the passengers,

0:11:18 > 0:11:20cos all four engines had stopped.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23This is the transcript -

0:11:23 > 0:11:26"Hello, this is your captain speaking.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29"I'm afraid all four engines have stopped.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32"We're doing our damnedest to restart them.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35"I hope you're not in too much distress."

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Imagine you'd been on that flight,

0:11:38 > 0:11:41imagine what would have been going through your head -

0:11:41 > 0:11:42"My goodness me!

0:11:42 > 0:11:45"I wasn't in too much distress until you come on the Tannoy!

0:11:46 > 0:11:49"I knew it was quiet but I didn't know why!

0:11:50 > 0:11:52"If you were going to come on the Tannoy,

0:11:52 > 0:11:55"the best thing you could have done was just to continuously go..."

0:11:55 > 0:11:59IMITATES SOUND OF AN ENGINE

0:12:05 > 0:12:09We have, ladies and gentlemen, Alan Duncan MP in tonight.

0:12:09 > 0:12:13CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Well, I have to say,

0:12:15 > 0:12:18I think it's very brave of an MP to turn up.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22I'm quite surprised, obviously, that an MP should turn up

0:12:22 > 0:12:24to a gig with free tickets,

0:12:24 > 0:12:28cos it's not like they can even claim it on expenses, is it?

0:12:28 > 0:12:29LAUGHTER

0:12:29 > 0:12:32CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:12:36 > 0:12:41It will be, it will be a first for the Hammersmith Apollo, though.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Not the fact that they have an MP in here,

0:12:43 > 0:12:47but it'll be the first time it's been designated as a second home.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56Tina Fey, when she was ridiculing Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live,

0:12:56 > 0:12:59they said, "How'd you come up with your material?"

0:12:59 > 0:13:02and she said, "Well, basically I just repeat what Sarah Palin said

0:13:02 > 0:13:04"and people laugh."

0:13:04 > 0:13:07And you're thinking, that's the ultimate, isn't it?

0:13:07 > 0:13:11Getting politicians to write your material for you.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13Got to be worth a go.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16We have a Work & Pensions Minister called Chris Grayling.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19He recently said, when asked about the benefits cap

0:13:19 > 0:13:21the coalition are thinking of introducing,

0:13:21 > 0:13:24he said, "It won't lead to any homelessness,

0:13:24 > 0:13:29"but it may lead to individual cases of housing mobility."

0:13:29 > 0:13:31LAUGHTER

0:13:31 > 0:13:32David Cameron,

0:13:32 > 0:13:36when he was asked about drugs in the Bullingdon Club and rioting,

0:13:36 > 0:13:39he said, "It didn't matter what I got up to at university,

0:13:39 > 0:13:43"I didn't know I was going in to politics."

0:13:43 > 0:13:46And you're thinking, he must have had a reasonable idea,

0:13:46 > 0:13:49because at university he studied politics.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53And Nick Clegg said,

0:13:53 > 0:13:54"I need to say this -

0:13:54 > 0:13:59"you shouldn't trust any government, actually, including this one."

0:13:59 > 0:14:04Now, after the tuition fees, I think he's on fairly safe ground there.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07People saying that the tuition fees

0:14:07 > 0:14:09will lead to a two-tier university system.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11That is, of course, to say

0:14:11 > 0:14:14we don't already have a two-tier university system.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16You can usually tell from the name, can't you?

0:14:16 > 0:14:19If it's a major city followed by the word, "University,"

0:14:19 > 0:14:21it tends to be top-tier, doesn't it?

0:14:21 > 0:14:24Whereas, if it's the name of an area,

0:14:24 > 0:14:26or got the name of a person,

0:14:26 > 0:14:29or the word, "Metropolitan" in it...

0:14:29 > 0:14:32All I'm saying is, you hear somebody is off

0:14:32 > 0:14:37to the West of Cumbria John Brookes Metropolitan University,

0:14:37 > 0:14:41you think there's a fair chance they're doing Media Studies.

0:14:41 > 0:14:45LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:14:48 > 0:14:50In America, they have the rise

0:14:50 > 0:14:53of the Christian fundamentalist right

0:14:53 > 0:14:55in the form of the Tea Party

0:14:55 > 0:14:59or as they otherwise like to be known as...Tea-Baggers.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04Tea-bagging means something very different over here.

0:15:06 > 0:15:10I can't wait for Sarah Palin to arrive in Britain and go,

0:15:10 > 0:15:12"Hello, I'm a Tea-Bagger."

0:15:12 > 0:15:14APPLAUSE

0:15:18 > 0:15:19Some of you clapping,

0:15:19 > 0:15:22some of you may have to have that one explained to you

0:15:22 > 0:15:24at the end of the show.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29For those of you who don't know much about the Tea Party,

0:15:29 > 0:15:32there is a woman called Christine O'Donnell.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Now, Google her, she is hilarious.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38She is often on Fox TV, comes out with some great statements,

0:15:38 > 0:15:44things like, "Masturbation is sinful and the equivalent of adultery."

0:15:46 > 0:15:49And the thing is, she's actually quite fit.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53So I wonder how many people in America

0:15:53 > 0:15:56are watching her on the telly, cracking one off...

0:15:58 > 0:16:02..and trying to justify it as an act of political rebellion.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04LAUGHTER

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Cos I have noticed there seems to have been

0:16:10 > 0:16:12a rise of super-wanking recently.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Auto-asphyxiation,

0:16:14 > 0:16:16wanking and strangling.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19I mean, who takes their trousers down for a wank,

0:16:19 > 0:16:22sees the belt around their ankles

0:16:22 > 0:16:24and thinks, "Sod it, that's doing nothing at the moment.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28"I think I'll strangle myself with that"?

0:16:28 > 0:16:29Who's done the research?

0:16:29 > 0:16:33Who said starving yourself of oxygen was going to make things better?

0:16:33 > 0:16:36I have held my breath under water at a swimming baths,

0:16:36 > 0:16:40but let me tell you, it never gave me a ginormous stiffy...

0:16:41 > 0:16:43..for which I am grateful.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47I think if I was having a wank and I started strangling,

0:16:47 > 0:16:49I think it'd put me off the wank.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52I'm not great at multitasking as it is.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56I think if I was wanking and strangling,

0:16:56 > 0:17:01I'd be worried I was doing too much strangling and not enough wanking.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03I don't think it'd help when people say,

0:17:03 > 0:17:04"It don't matter if it goes wrong -

0:17:04 > 0:17:06"you'll die with a smile on your face."

0:17:06 > 0:17:07I don't think you would.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11I think you'd die with a look of sheer panic on your face

0:17:11 > 0:17:13going, "I knew that was too tight!

0:17:13 > 0:17:16"This isn't how I want me mother to remember me!"

0:17:18 > 0:17:21APPLAUSE AND WHOOPING

0:17:23 > 0:17:25I've made myself giggle, I can only apologise.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30It came a bit out of left field, didn't it?

0:17:30 > 0:17:33From politics to smut in one easy leap.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37All of that talk...

0:17:37 > 0:17:41makes me think of relaxing back in my dressing room.

0:17:41 > 0:17:42Yeah.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44LAUGHTER

0:17:44 > 0:17:49If I should not come out after the second act,

0:17:49 > 0:17:51if you could please tell my family it was merely

0:17:51 > 0:17:52an experiment for comedy purposes...

0:17:55 > 0:17:57CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:18:02 > 0:18:04Maybe I'll just have a drink.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09So...it is time for our first act.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11Ladies and gents, would you please welcome

0:18:11 > 0:18:14the fantastic Andrew Lawrence!

0:18:14 > 0:18:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:18:28 > 0:18:30Hi, thank you very much.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32A lovely, warm welcome.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34How nice to be here.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37Never quite sure how to start one of these gigs, to be honest.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40My agent says, "Andrew, always smile when you walk on stage,

0:18:40 > 0:18:44"because you have got quite a scary face.

0:18:46 > 0:18:47"If you don't smile, Andrew,

0:18:47 > 0:18:50"you look like you're going to physically assault someone."

0:18:50 > 0:18:53I said, "Well, that is true, but sadly if I do smile

0:18:53 > 0:18:55"I look like I'm going to sexually assault someone."

0:18:55 > 0:18:58LAUGHTER

0:18:58 > 0:19:00It's not really any better, is it?

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Well done for coming out tonight.

0:19:02 > 0:19:03It's important, isn't it,

0:19:03 > 0:19:06to go out, have a little bit of fun, enjoy life?

0:19:06 > 0:19:07Life is hard.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Some people struggle, don't they?

0:19:09 > 0:19:12Some people are having a hard time, they can't really cope,

0:19:12 > 0:19:14they can't see any light at the end of the tunnel.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16In many respects, that serves them right.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19If you're in a tunnel and there's no light at the end,

0:19:19 > 0:19:20that's a cave, dickhead!

0:19:20 > 0:19:23LAUGHTER

0:19:30 > 0:19:34You need to turn around and walk out the same way you came in.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36It's a hard world.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38There's too much rudeness in the world! I had...

0:19:38 > 0:19:41this kid came up to me in the supermarket,

0:19:41 > 0:19:43he's about ten years old, cocky,

0:19:43 > 0:19:46flapping a Bag For Life in my face.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49He said, "Oi, mate, will this bag last for the whole of my life?"

0:19:49 > 0:19:51"I don't know, my little friend.

0:19:51 > 0:19:55"Why don't you put it over your head for three or four minutes?

0:19:55 > 0:19:57"I'm sure we'll find out!"

0:19:59 > 0:20:01There's a lot of rudeness in the world.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05I don't like this word "banter" that people use increasingly.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07I hear people using the word banter, I don't like it.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09It's a word people use as an excuse

0:20:09 > 0:20:14for behaving in an unacceptable, inappropriate manner, like,

0:20:14 > 0:20:17"Barry, your little boy's just locked himself in the toilet.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19"It's his eighth birthday, he's crying his eyes out,

0:20:19 > 0:20:21"what have you said to him?"

0:20:21 > 0:20:22"I told him he was adopted, mate."

0:20:22 > 0:20:24"Why did you do that, Barry?"

0:20:24 > 0:20:25"Just a bit of banter."

0:20:26 > 0:20:31It's not really, it is? It's a singular display of insensitivity,

0:20:31 > 0:20:34a total disregard for the feelings of other people.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36"You're contributing nothing to society, Barry,

0:20:36 > 0:20:39"you're bringing no happiness into the world whatsoever.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42"We'd all be better off if you were dead."

0:20:42 > 0:20:44"That's a bit harsh, mate."

0:20:44 > 0:20:46"Not really, Barry, just a bit of banter, isn't it?

0:20:46 > 0:20:49- "Just a bit of..." - APPLAUSE

0:20:51 > 0:20:54Hard world. Too many people, isn't there?

0:20:54 > 0:20:56Too many people in the world, I think.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58We're all getting in each other's way, all the time.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00I was in the car the other day,

0:21:00 > 0:21:03there were a load of slow-moving cars in front of me -

0:21:03 > 0:21:07I thought, "How is it possible people could be driving this slowly?

0:21:07 > 0:21:10"Even if you were just out for a leisurely jaunt,

0:21:10 > 0:21:12"you would still be driving quicker than this.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16"Driving this slowly requires genuine mental effort,

0:21:16 > 0:21:18"physical restraint.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21"They must be doing it on purpose just to aggravate me."

0:21:21 > 0:21:23I'm shouting, I'm angry, I've got my family in the car,

0:21:23 > 0:21:26they're getting upset, like, "Shut up, Andrew,

0:21:26 > 0:21:29"you're ruining grandad's funeral procession!"

0:21:38 > 0:21:42We're all working so hard, aren't we? Everything is so expensive.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46I went to the dentist recently - I paid £60 for a filling.

0:21:46 > 0:21:47That's expensive, isn't it?

0:21:47 > 0:21:49A Spanish dentist, of all things.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51I'd never heard of such a thing.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53I didn't even know such things existed.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56- IN HISPANIC ACCENT:- "Open wide." "I'm opening wide."

0:21:56 > 0:21:58"Open a leetle bit wider."

0:21:58 > 0:21:59"This is very wide."

0:21:59 > 0:22:02"Open wider." "My face is splitting now."

0:22:04 > 0:22:07I can't really do Spanish, so I've made him Mexican.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10"I'm going to drill a leetle hole in one of your teeth.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13"It is going to be uncomfortable and embarrassing.

0:22:13 > 0:22:14"You're going to feel your whole skull

0:22:14 > 0:22:17"rattling around inside your head.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19"It's only going to take six or seven meenutes.

0:22:19 > 0:22:23"Then you're going to pay me the equivalent of a whole day's wages

0:22:23 > 0:22:26"for someone who works in a motorway service station."

0:22:26 > 0:22:28"Shall we begi-i-i-in?"

0:22:28 > 0:22:31"Yes, why not? I can't think of a better way

0:22:31 > 0:22:35"to spend my time and money. Seriously, £60 for a filling?

0:22:35 > 0:22:38"If it's any cheaper, just go ahead and knock the whole tooth out.

0:22:38 > 0:22:42"I'll stick some Lego in there or something."

0:22:42 > 0:22:43He's honest as well.

0:22:43 > 0:22:47That's the last thing I want from a dentist, honesty.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49"Thees is going to be excruciating.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53"This will be the worse pain you have ever felt in your life.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56"I am going to scrape the scrape-y instrument all along your gums.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59"You are going to scream and cry like a leetle girl.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01"I am going to laugh in your face."

0:23:01 > 0:23:05- TO MELODY OF "La Cucaracha": - "Ha-ha-ha ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha ha-ha!"

0:23:05 > 0:23:07APPLAUSE

0:23:10 > 0:23:13You've got to go to the dentist, haven't you, from time to time?

0:23:13 > 0:23:15You've got to do these things, you've got to keep up appearances.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Got to be presentable.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19Quite a well turned-out audience, well-dressed people.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21I like to see that.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23I try and make an effort if I'm on the telly,

0:23:23 > 0:23:25but a lot of the time I buy my clothes

0:23:25 > 0:23:27from the cheap discount shops.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29People say, "Andrew, that's unethical.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32"Don't buy your clothes from those cheap discount shops.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35"All those clothes have been made by Indonesian orphans

0:23:35 > 0:23:37"in sweatshop conditions."

0:23:37 > 0:23:40I don't want to sound harsh, but I couldn't really give a hoot,

0:23:40 > 0:23:44because I remember when I was 11 years old - every Wednesday morning,

0:23:44 > 0:23:46I was forced to get up at the crack of dawn,

0:23:46 > 0:23:49go to school, double physics in the morning,

0:23:49 > 0:23:51maths and geography before lunch,

0:23:51 > 0:23:54in the afternoon, they forced me to play rugby for two and a half hours,

0:23:54 > 0:23:55my head in a scrum,

0:23:55 > 0:23:59some chunky fat kid's arm up between my legs grabbing my bits and pieces.

0:23:59 > 0:24:0315 stinky, grizzled...trying to sit on top of me, break my back?

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Compared to that, the way I see it,

0:24:05 > 0:24:08a little bit of shoe stitching seems positively enticing!

0:24:12 > 0:24:15APPLAUSE

0:24:15 > 0:24:18I've got to try and be presentable. I don't think I'm a vain person.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20I'd quite like to have a beard.

0:24:20 > 0:24:2431 years old now and I can't grow a beard. That's pathetic, isn't it?

0:24:24 > 0:24:27Pathetic and I haven't got much in the way of body hair.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30I've got the basics, upstairs, downstairs, but...

0:24:30 > 0:24:33In some ways it's a good thing, isn't it? A ginger, pasty man -

0:24:33 > 0:24:37too much body hair just looks like someone's tramped on a Scotch egg.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43APPLAUSE

0:24:43 > 0:24:45I don't really... I don't really like the hairdresser either,

0:24:45 > 0:24:47I don't like the hairdresser.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50I don't like all the chit-chat you get at the hairdresser.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Last time I went to the hairdresser, I thought I'd go to the posh one.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55At least if I go to a posh hairdresser,

0:24:55 > 0:24:56I won't get all the chit-chat.

0:24:56 > 0:24:57It was even worse.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00It was all I could manage just to get past the reception.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02There are about 30 people in this place

0:25:02 > 0:25:05doing the same job with different job titles.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08"Who would you like to see? The stylish, junior stylist,

0:25:08 > 0:25:10"senior stylist, style director,

0:25:10 > 0:25:13"creative director, artistic director,

0:25:13 > 0:25:15"senior director of artistic creation,

0:25:15 > 0:25:17"stylistic director of creative assistance?

0:25:17 > 0:25:19"Who would you like to see?"

0:25:19 > 0:25:21"Just someone with fingers...

0:25:22 > 0:25:24"..and scissors.

0:25:25 > 0:25:26"And a good eye for symmetry."

0:25:28 > 0:25:29"Jackie!"

0:25:31 > 0:25:34This lady's cutting my hair, she's a nice lady,

0:25:34 > 0:25:37but she's asking questions. "What do you do for a living?"

0:25:37 > 0:25:40I couldn't face the truth. I said, "I drive a bus."

0:25:42 > 0:25:45"What bus?" "Just...a big, red bus."

0:25:46 > 0:25:49"What sort of salary are you on?" "An annual one."

0:25:53 > 0:25:55I don't like to tell people this is what I do for a living.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58I, er, find it quite embarrassing,

0:25:58 > 0:25:59being a comedian.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Some nights I'm on stage and think, "Urgh, why did I do that?

0:26:01 > 0:26:03"Why did I say that? What an idiot."

0:26:03 > 0:26:06I suppose life is full of little embarrassments, though, isn't it?

0:26:06 > 0:26:09I, er... I farted in a lift one day last week.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11That's embarrassing, isn't it?

0:26:11 > 0:26:13It just crept up on me.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17There was a man in the lift, I didn't know him.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20He wouldn't have heard it, but I thought, "For once in my life,

0:26:20 > 0:26:23"I'm going to do the decent, honourable thing here.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25"I'm going to own up and apologise."

0:26:26 > 0:26:30I said, "I'm really sorry, I've just farted in this lift by accident."

0:26:32 > 0:26:33I wanted him to say,

0:26:33 > 0:26:36"That's all right, mate - better out than in, wahay!"

0:26:36 > 0:26:39Then we'd have a chuckle about it, forget it ever happened.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41That's not what he did.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44I said, "I'm really sorry, I've just farted in this lift by accident."

0:26:44 > 0:26:47He said, "Oh, for goodness' sake, can't you control yourself?"

0:26:50 > 0:26:52That's degrading, isn't it? Humiliating.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55I was hurt, I was angry, I was upset.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58I noticed we still had five floors left to travel.

0:26:58 > 0:26:59I thought, "To hell with it!"

0:26:59 > 0:27:01I squeezed another one out just to spite him.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07WHOOPING

0:27:10 > 0:27:11I like being a comedian.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14It's got its perks, like, who's been at work this week?

0:27:14 > 0:27:16Give me a cheer - one, two, three...

0:27:16 > 0:27:18- AUDIENCE:- Whay!

0:27:18 > 0:27:20Give me a cheer if you get up before seven for work.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22Whay!

0:27:22 > 0:27:24And if you get up before six for work.

0:27:24 > 0:27:25Whay!

0:27:25 > 0:27:27Well, I admire that, you know?

0:27:27 > 0:27:28I admire you people.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30That takes self-discipline

0:27:30 > 0:27:32to get up at six every morning for work and I admire it.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35I'll be honest with you, I got up at six the other day...

0:27:35 > 0:27:38went for a piss, went back to bed, got up at 11.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44HE GIGGLES

0:27:44 > 0:27:47That's right, applaud my laziness.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Sometimes I set the alarm clock for six, just for a joke.

0:27:51 > 0:27:54I'll roll over, have a chuckle, go back to sleep.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58Sometimes I put it on snooze, just to tease myself.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01People say, "Andrew, if you never get up before 11,

0:28:01 > 0:28:03"that's a sign of depression."

0:28:03 > 0:28:07"Are you sure? I'll be honest, it makes me feel quite smug and happy."

0:28:08 > 0:28:11You have to get a good night's sleep, don't you? It's important.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14I was sharing a bed with a very restless sleeper.

0:28:14 > 0:28:18- That's right, I've got a girlfriend, she's real and...- Whoo!

0:28:18 > 0:28:20Patronising, over there.

0:28:20 > 0:28:21She's a very restless sleeper.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24The other night, the middle of the night, she's prodding me,

0:28:24 > 0:28:27shaking me, like, "Psst, Andrew.

0:28:28 > 0:28:30"Psst, Andrew."

0:28:30 > 0:28:33"What? What is it?" "Just going to toilet."

0:28:38 > 0:28:40"Oh, thanks for letting me know.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43"What is it you'd like me to do?

0:28:43 > 0:28:45"You want me to come with you, hold your hand?"

0:28:45 > 0:28:47She goes to toilet, comes back,

0:28:47 > 0:28:49I said, "How was that, was that all right?"

0:28:49 > 0:28:51"Yeah, it was all right, yeah."

0:28:51 > 0:28:54"Did you get rid of everything you needed to get rid of?"

0:28:54 > 0:28:55"Yeah."

0:28:55 > 0:28:58"Flush the toilet?" "No."

0:28:59 > 0:29:01"Why not?" "Didn't want to wake you up."

0:29:09 > 0:29:13Who's having an alcoholic beverage tonight? Give me a cheer.

0:29:13 > 0:29:17- Whay!- Who's not having an alcoholic beverage? Give me a cheer.

0:29:17 > 0:29:18Whay!

0:29:18 > 0:29:20I think we know who sounded happier.

0:29:22 > 0:29:25Last time I had a night out, I lost my phone.

0:29:25 > 0:29:29That's aggravating, isn't it? I'm CURSED with mobile phones.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31I don't like them, I've never got on with them.

0:29:31 > 0:29:35I still don't really understand the etiquette of text messaging.

0:29:35 > 0:29:36If someone sends you a text message,

0:29:36 > 0:29:39how long can you leave that message without replying,

0:29:39 > 0:29:40without seeming rude?

0:29:40 > 0:29:42Depends on the message, doesn't it?

0:29:42 > 0:29:44If it's from an old friend,

0:29:44 > 0:29:47"Hey, Andrew, I haven't seen you in ages, let's catch up some time,"

0:29:47 > 0:29:49you could probably leave it about a week.

0:29:49 > 0:29:53But if it's from your gran... "I can't get out of the bath!"

0:29:55 > 0:29:56..you probably can't leave that

0:29:56 > 0:29:59more than two or three days, really, can you? You can't.

0:30:01 > 0:30:04Everybody's telling me to get some flashy, expensive mobile phone.

0:30:04 > 0:30:05I don't want one.

0:30:05 > 0:30:07I'm out late at night doing gigs,

0:30:07 > 0:30:10I don't want to carry valuable things around with me...

0:30:10 > 0:30:11in case I get mugged.

0:30:11 > 0:30:13I've got a cheap, rubbish phone.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15That way, if someone comes up to me late at night,

0:30:15 > 0:30:17"Give me your phone, reject!"

0:30:17 > 0:30:20"Certainly, my friend, take it, it's got a two-megapixel camera.

0:30:20 > 0:30:24"Doesn't sound like much, but some people's faces look better blurry."

0:30:25 > 0:30:27"I don't want that rubbish phone."

0:30:27 > 0:30:30"No, take the phone, my friend, it's fully charged!

0:30:30 > 0:30:32"You can get internet on that phone sometimes,

0:30:32 > 0:30:34"if you smack it against a hard surface."

0:30:34 > 0:30:37"I don't want that rubbish phone!"

0:30:37 > 0:30:39"I don't want it either!"

0:30:39 > 0:30:41"It's your phone."

0:30:41 > 0:30:43"I don't want it." "Well, throw it away."

0:30:43 > 0:30:47"You can't throw it away, you've got to recycle these things.

0:30:47 > 0:30:48"You put it in a little bag,

0:30:48 > 0:30:50"you send it to Oxfam,

0:30:50 > 0:30:53"Oxfam put it in a box, they send it halfway around the world

0:30:53 > 0:30:56"to starving people in Africa,

0:30:56 > 0:30:58"starving people in Africa open the box, they say,"

0:30:58 > 0:31:01- AFRICAN ACCENT: - "What the hell is this?"

0:31:01 > 0:31:04LAUGHTER

0:31:05 > 0:31:08"I don't want this crappy phone.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15"I thought this box would have a cake in it.

0:31:18 > 0:31:19"This is a bad day for me.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25"What is this text message?

0:31:25 > 0:31:27" 'Gran: I can't get out of the bath.' "

0:31:27 > 0:31:29LAUGHTER

0:34:00 > 0:34:02Thanks, that doesn't normally work.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12They said about me, that I was too immature to be a father,

0:34:12 > 0:34:15but when I saw the first few seconds of my son's life,

0:34:15 > 0:34:17- I thought to myself... - HE LAUGHS

0:35:57 > 0:35:59Someone's got to tell 'em.

0:36:04 > 0:36:05Don't talk to me about unemployment -

0:36:05 > 0:36:08I come from a tiny fishing village in Derbyshire.

0:36:16 > 0:36:18I worked... It's not near the sea.

0:36:29 > 0:36:32I worked as a doctor for the World Health Organization.

0:36:32 > 0:36:35I didn't mean to, I thought I was auditioning for Doctor Who.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42You know, when you're in a relationship...

0:36:49 > 0:36:51HE GUFFAWS

0:36:51 > 0:36:54I always imagined going out with a girl who was, you know...

0:36:56 > 0:36:58..deformed.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08A girl came up to me the other day and she said, "You know,

0:37:08 > 0:37:11"you can tell someone's personality by what kind of car they drive."

0:37:11 > 0:37:14I said, "I'm going to stop you there - I haven't got one."

0:37:21 > 0:37:24I tried to impress a girl once by putting my foot down on the pedal.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27Turns out she'd seen a bin open like that before.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36So, sisters, you know you really like that song, It's Raining Men?

0:37:36 > 0:37:38Is that cos you really love men?

0:37:38 > 0:37:40Or you love the idea of them all

0:37:40 > 0:37:44falling out of the sky, going splat on the ground really hard?

0:37:44 > 0:37:46- Whoo!- Maybe it's cos you like the idea of them

0:37:46 > 0:37:49going splat on the ground really hard -

0:37:49 > 0:37:50is that cos you really hate men?

0:37:51 > 0:37:54Or you love the idea of cleaning up?

0:38:09 > 0:38:12"Why don't you get an upgrade?"

0:38:12 > 0:38:14Took a bit of time, but in the end I got a better wife.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23In America, you can be who you want to be.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25In fact, taxi drivers meet you at the airport

0:38:25 > 0:38:27with suggestions on pieces of card.

0:38:34 > 0:38:37I decided to be Professor Aaron Leibowitz.

0:38:43 > 0:38:47I was whisked across town to address a conference on clinical psychology.

0:38:49 > 0:38:50Briefly.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55When I was in America, I really got into the culture.

0:38:55 > 0:38:57I went into the shop and a guy said, "Have a nice day!"

0:38:57 > 0:38:59and I didn't, so I sued him.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06During the course of conversation,

0:39:06 > 0:39:09he said the phrase, "Well, you do the math."

0:39:09 > 0:39:12I said, "Don't you mean, 'You do the maths?'

0:39:12 > 0:39:15"That word is five letters, not four."

0:39:15 > 0:39:17He said, "What's the difference?" I said, "One."

0:39:23 > 0:39:24"You do the math...

0:39:25 > 0:39:27"..ssss."

0:39:47 > 0:39:51Ten Things You Have To See Before You Die and I'd seen the other nine.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59Didn't want to take any chances.

0:40:03 > 0:40:05Got on a train to Newcastle the other day.

0:40:18 > 0:40:19Time travel!

0:40:29 > 0:40:31Don't get me wrong, I love Geordies,

0:40:31 > 0:40:33but they're always looking for similes, aren't they?
