Bob Blackman's Tray is a surreal show from performers Johnny Sorrow and Richard Drake. They answer our questions below.

1. Tell us about your career so far. Are you happy with where you're at?

Sorrow started performing at various venues in the early 70's appearing on the same bill as the likes of Roger De Courcey and Freddie 'Parrot Face' Davies. After a failed attempt at winning ITV's New Faces he worked with Drake at a comedy venue in Newcastle-under-Lyme. We have since established ourselves as the funniest men in Newcastle-under-Lyme.

2. Describe you show in exactly 23 words.

Bob Blackman's Tray 1:30pm 24-30 August Laughing Horse @The Free Sisters starring the funniest men in Newcastle-under-Lyme. Free entry, donations welcome.

3. Why are you putting yourself through this famously stressful experience?

The only part we find stressful is trying to find somewhere reasonably priced to stay.

4. Any cunning plans to get more punters in?

We will tell them it is free entry and you only have to make a donation if you want to.

5. How much money do you think you'll lose/make this year?

We will either make or lose £23.50.

6. What's your weirdest past Fringe experience?

A group of Japanese tourists (who couldn't speak English) turning up four shows in a row.

7. What other shows are you hoping to see?

James Christopher's Annual Cry For Help starring Yorkshireman James Christopher.

8. If you took over programming a venue, what would your perfect line-up of comedians be?

Bob The Tray Blackman, Roy Slither Jay and Yorkshireman James Christopher.

9. Name the one person you'd rather not bump into during the festival?
Roger De Courcey. Sorrow has owed him a fiver since 1976.

10. Why should audiences pick your show rather than 1,700+ other comedy offerings at this year's festival?

Where else do you get to bash your head repeatedly with a paper plate?

Bob Blackman's Tray is at The Free Sisters on 24-30 August at 1:30pm. Entry is free. Listing
