If he was having considered one of his unhealthy days, his ex-old-woman Laura would say he’d put considered one of my tapes on to cheer himself up. That proves to me that laughter is the very best tablet on this planet.

“You chuckle at your self and also you chuckle at one another.

“I get hit by it on a regular basis. I’m not allowed to work at my native theatre as a result of they don’t need my type of comedy.

“I now do reveals for a hospital and final yr we raised round £9,000 for them.”

“Among the many present comedians, I do discover Micky Flanagan humorous. However that’s going again to our down-to-earth type of comedy. No one goes to beat that.

“It’s the identical as in case you ebook a DJ for a celebration, you need him to play music from the Nineteen Seventies as a result of that’s what’s going to get folks up dancing. They don’t make it like that anymore.

“So if you need previous stomach chuckle come and see us on the Gaiety or wait till you see it on Ustreme. Somebody should remind these protestors that the primary paper to offer The Comedians a five-star assessment was the Morning Star as a result of again then they recognised it for what it’s – hard-hitting working-class humour.
