I live in Worthing. I'm not a yuppie. :P
Where did you do the gig?

Confession I blanked on the name of the town.

It was actually Andover and the pub was Revoloutions Jazz Club.

I also got 2 free pints.

I loved State of Play but I thought the ending was a bit of a let down. I never really bought it. Still, I might go and buy it this afternoon since it's only £9 in Smiths.

There was girl called Elisabeth I was rather fond of in my youth who lived in Worthing.

I haven't been in Worthing that long,.... well, about 5 years now.
I used to live in Essex, but I escaped in a balloon. :P

I've had an Elizabeth. Wonder if it's the same one. ;)

I could see how Worthing and Andover could be confused. :P

Two free pints? WOW! I'm gonna get into stand-up if they pay THAT well. :)

The guard looked at me quizzically, and I said "I'm a standup!" He then burst out laughing. That may be the very moment my standup career died.

He might have thought you were doing stand-up at that very moment, which made him laugh.
So don't give up if you can make peeps laugh with a line like: "I'm a standup." :P

Oh... and before Mr Bussell says anything, I am discussing the interview. :P

Hey, I'm just happy to see one of these things go into four pages.

I also got a crisp tenner. Half my train fair woohoo!

Trust me that wasn't what he was laughing at.

Well, that's certainly one way to boost the post count, Sooty...

There was an interview? Pleased

I swear to God, Chip, I will drive a locomotive made of vinegar into your most suppurating wound.

I'd just like to say Sooty helped me out of a writers block situation once but then said I had to be his bitch. He's got and enormous cock by the way. (That'll be that fiver you promised Soots. Top interview by the way.

Bollocks to sootyj (and I mean that in a friendly, caring way) but where the bastard flip is this week's feature? Come on, Bussell. I'm waiting to go home.

Hear Hear!

Where is it?

This week: Bussell interviews that god of comedy; who we all aspire to be; the absolute epitome of all comedy: David Bussell himself!

Hi David, sorry I have to shout, but obviously both our egos can't be in the same room at once!

That's okay! Something mildly humourous that appeals to one person reading.

Haha! I ignore your comment, sir, and the obvious follow-on question to go completely left-field and say something about my massive cock and also a joke that could possibly be construed to mean 'wanking' if you think about it properly

etc etc

Go on! Interview yourself -- you know you want to...

;)

Dan

Apologies for the delay. I'm currently interviewing Planet Giraffe - a discussion that has just reached its third day. I'd like to tell you it's going to be worth the wait. I really would.

Oh, and Dan... you just made the list. My Christmas card list that is - you big silly!
