Not unless it's within a certain timeframe. I think. I forget how I set it up. *scratches head*
Comedy Celeb Spotters Page 2
I saw Lee Evans in Manchester, back in '97, when I was at art college. The lads I was with even went as far as stopping him to talk to him. I just stood behind them, as I'm not the type to pester celebs. Apparently they told him they were art students, and he started talking about having been at at art college himself.
I saw Norman Wisdom going into my local McDonald's, a few years back, when he was in my village, to make a personal appearance at my local fire station, for some weird reason.
I saw Roger McGough in Liverpool city centre.
Oh, and I remember being stood behind the bloke who played "George", in 'George and Mildred', in the ticket queue in Lime Street Station in Liverpool.
I've seen Frank Cotterell-Boyce, who wrote 'A Cock and Bull Story', and '24-Hour Party People', in my village, a few times, as he lives nearby, and has got about 7 kids.
I saw Alan Bleasdale walking through Liverpool city centre once, but I suppose he doesn't really write comedy.
Oh, and finally, I thought I'd just mention that Anne Robinson grew up in my village, and used to hang around with my next door neighbour's Dad, when they were little kids. Four years ago, my next door neighbour was a contestant on 'The Weakest Link', and she was going to mention this to Anne Robinson, but she was voted off so early that she didn't get a chance.

I've checked Roger's Profanisaurus and it isn't a euphemism.
He did pass some remark about horns and asked if the goat was gonna butt him ...

Brian Murphy. Leg-end.

Alistair McGowan escorted my 3 legged goat onto the set of the Paul O'Grady show last year.
Did you contact the show to say you'd give the goat a new home?
No, it was my goat and they asked me to go on. Did you see it? They had my lamb and piglet on, too.
I saw Ben Miller in May rushing across Paddington train station with a little suitcase on wheels, whilst I was waiting to meet a friend of mine who was over an hour late! But, if she had been on time I wouldn't have seen him so every cloud and all that.

I probably did see it. How did they end up aksing you to go on?
I haven't met anyone famous and thats the way I like it
It's quite amazing, really, once you've done some stuff they just get your number! The thing that I've noticed with them is that a lot of the staff jump about from one production company to another so maybe that's how it happens.
We've done loads of stuff and they always ring me.
The most recent one to be filmed here was an episode Dating the Enemy which was meant to come out in November but didn't seem to happen.
Have you been on This Morning?
I saw Graham Norton in M&S, looking bizarrely attractive in real life.
And erm... sat opposite the butler from Fresh Prince on the tube.
A friend saw (/sees all the time) Dylan Moran in a pub in Edinburgh, sitting grumpily on his own in a corner, drinking and smoking and reading a paperback, glaring at anyone who dares come near him.
ie, he really is Bernard from Black Books. Ace.

If the This Morning question was addressed to me then, yep, I have.
It was indeed!
Was it circa Phil and Fern, or Richard and Judy?
How soon you forget John Leslie...
I try.
