Judi Love interview

What is your story about?

The story of Charles I vs Oliver Cromwell.

How much did you drink in total, do you think?

I swear I drank at lease half a bottle of brandy.

What was the next morning like?

Heavy! I just remember laying down then it was morning... bright, bloody bright!

Where did it rate on the hangover scale?

The scale was around 6 to be honest, as I drank loads of water. The worst hang over was my 21st birthday... omg my friend ended up in hospital and we had food poisoning!

Have you seen your episode yet?

I haven't seen it. I am nervous as I don't remember a thing, but I will just blame it on the alcohol.

Are you interested in history?

Yes, I do like history now that I am an adult. I didn't pay much attention at school as they never made it interesting.

If you had a time machine, which time period would you most like to go back to, and why?

Alabama 1955, the bus that Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on. I think the look on the aggressors faces must have been priceless and could be made quite comical. I would love to have been a fly on the bus window to feel the tension.

Meanwhile, if you could have a night down the pub with any historical figures, who would you invite?

Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Maya Angelou, Kunta Kinte.

If you did Drunk History again do you have any thoughts on what story you'd like to recount next time?

Rosa Parks on the bus, Alabam in 1955.

What are you working on next?

I'm very busy filming for TV shows and doing lots of stand-up comedy shows around the country. Go to judilove.co.uk and subscribe to receive all of my updates!
