Did you touch them?

May I touch you?

I didn't touch them, no, which I assume nullifies your second question.

EDIT: I did shake hands with Rhys though.

Well...

Kevin Eldon, Graham Linehan and David Bussell; all three were a delight. Apart from that c**t Bussell.

I met Eldon too. Where did you meet him, Matt?

Inside your Momma.

Are you saying my mother's vagina is one of your comedy heroes?! And you've met it?! :O

Met Terry Pratchett and League of Gentlemen at signings.

Chatted to Stewart Lee a few years ago. It was outside the Drill Hall. I didn't notice him standing next to me until he offered me a lighter as mine wasn't working. So I got to stand and chat to him for a bit. Genuinely nice bloke.

I met Robin Ince and Milton Jones at Greenbelt last year and got to chat to both of them backstage for a while. I'm hoping to abuse this year's backstage pass and meet Mark Thomas.

I've met John Lloyd at the QI club in Oxford, and Craig Charles in a green room at BBC TV Centre and I saw Barry Chuckle in a cafe in Newcastle Under Lyme.

Spoke briefly to John Lloyd He's a nice chap.
Spoke even more briefly to Craig Charles, he seems nice enough.
Just looked through the window of a cafe I was walking past and thought, oh that's Barry Chuckle, and carried on walking.

Awwww. That's so nice.

I bumped into Jim Jeffries at Birmingham's famous 'Mr Egg' 'restaurant'. It was a real honour for Jim.

I chatted to Jim Jefferies after a gig last year. He was really wasted and couldn't say too much.
