It's 11 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 2: not really an American thing having tiles in your in 12 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 2: your kitchen. 13 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: So you've renovated, Yeah, we did this about a year ago. 14 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're happy with it. 15 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: Good on you as you should be in beautiful covering 16 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: behind it with the glass and the whole thing. Things 17 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: clearly going well for your Reese, is what I'm saying. 18 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: Well, you know, you know you've got to I mean, 19 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: so many everything's on zoom now, you can't have a 20 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 2: bad no. 21 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: Background, No, no, that's exactly right. Talk to me about 22 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: you're in Los Angeles, I should explain. Talk to me 23 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: about what Eva Longoria described the other day as she 24 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: left America post the election. She's now living in Spain, 25 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: and I think she's claiming Italy as well. But she 26 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: called America dystopian. Do you do you see it as 27 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: dystopian currently? 28 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 2: I think everyone's on edge. I think, you know, it's 29 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 2: really really divided here. I live in California. I live 30 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 2: in a bubble. It's almost like a separate place really 31 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 2: to the rest of America. We like what we have here. 32 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 2: We all get on. I mean, yes, there's a few differences. 33 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 2: There's you know, Democrats and there's Republicans. But I think, 34 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: you know, it was a huge shock for most of 35 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: us as to what happened in the election, and people 36 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 2: are running around, some of them are really panicking like 37 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: headless chickens. And I mean, I get it. We're in 38 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: a real state of flux. I just you know, there's 39 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: no use cutting your head off and running away. 40 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: Though no exactly. And as they will tell you, the 41 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: sun shines, and I can see it shining on the 42 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: left hand side of your face, on the beautiful California 43 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: sun shines every day intensely. Look at this, Oh oh, Breece, 44 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: is that a pool. 45 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 2: Out the back that's my pool. Yeah. 46 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: See, do you know what I like about your pool? 47 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: Even though I've only just like what you have in California, 48 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: and what we don't have in this country are proper 49 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: regulations and if you don't want to fence your pool, 50 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: you don't have to fence your pool. And that's a 51 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: good looking pool. 52 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, we're not putting a fence around that one. 53 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,839 Speaker 2: It's beautiful. It's an old, like nineteen seventies style. It's 54 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: been here for ages. This is an old place that 55 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 2: we're living in. That's one of those pools that you 56 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 2: imagine they would have drained and they would have done 57 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: a bit of skateboarding and back in the day. 58 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Have you renovated that as well? If you 59 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: if you put little special dolphin shaped tiles in there, 60 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: or a guitar or something. 61 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 2: We've just that that's isaz is At the moment, it's 62 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 2: getting old of it, but we yeah, it's it's an old, 63 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 2: old system out there. But she still goes, do you 64 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 2: have a pull man? 65 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: By the way, that classic California. 66 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: I got a pool? No, yeah, that's part of California. 67 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 2: That's the la thing. When you move into a house 68 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 2: a dude will just turn up the next week and 69 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: he'll go, oh, I'm doing your pull, mate, okay, and 70 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 2: you meet them and then you know you've got the 71 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 2: same with the gardeners and things. 72 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: Oh, sorry, the stuff you've got the gardener. How many 73 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: staff have you got? Let's just run through their names 74 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: and wish they may have a birthday. 75 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 2: No, I'm not doing that. I'm not not doing that. 76 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: Come on, speaking speaking of your birthday, fifty was that 77 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: significant for you? 78 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: It was? Yeah, I mean, definitely, it's fifty. It was 79 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: upsetting because you think, I mean, my forties were great, 80 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 2: and I feel like you know, I was. It was 81 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: just a great decade. But when you hit fifty, I 82 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 2: felt like, well, that's it. I've finished my cool forties, 83 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: my naughty forties. Now I'm fifty. But you know, in 84 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: this in the last six months, I've really started to 85 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: own it and accept it, and I'm now okay, I'm okay. 86 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: I'm still very childlike, but I'm okay to be and 87 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 2: I feel good about being an elder statesman. 88 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: As you should. The Business of the Two, I like 89 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: the title The Legend Returns. I mean, you didn't want 90 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: to oversell it. Obviously you didn't want to go crazy. 91 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: No, No, we bandied about with the idea of the 92 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: genius as back, but I think I think we landed 93 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 2: on the legend simply because, like I'm fifty, I've done 94 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 2: my I've done my I've done my time on Maple Drive, 95 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: I've treated the boards. People know who I am, and 96 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 2: I've got a lot to show for it. So when 97 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 2: I jump back on these stand up arena, I had 98 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: the most fun like in the last six months getting 99 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 2: ready for the show. I'm still working on theial and 100 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 2: I'm now really really confident and can't wait to hit 101 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: the stage again. 102 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: So the show is already, it's out there, and you've 103 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: been doing it therefore oiling it up and getting it 104 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: slick for us. 105 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,799 Speaker 2: No, not at all. It's still being created as we speak. 106 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: So I'm doing gigs here in the US where I'm 107 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 2: working on material. I've found out recently that I'm really 108 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 2: good at creating stuff on the spot. Well in my shows. 109 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 2: A lot of my previous shows were quite scripted and 110 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 2: they would have a narrative and I you know, but 111 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: this one, I'm really feeling much more loosey goosey and 112 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: having fun with the audience. So yeah, I'm still pulling 113 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: it together. 114 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: So when you go to how does that work? So 115 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: do they Obviously they're fans of yours. The vibe is 116 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: positive in the room. Therefore they're giving you good feedback. 117 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: When you get that good feedback, as a performer, you're going, yep, 118 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: I can, I can. 119 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 2: I can run with this a bit, one hundred percent. 120 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 2: I really need the energy of the crowd. So sometimes 121 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 2: I've done gigs here and little comedy clubs where no 122 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 2: one knows who I am, and they're used to a 123 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 2: us like an American stand up standing there with the 124 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: mic talking about whatever. I come out and I prounce 125 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 2: about and I do a bit of movement and weird 126 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 2: noises and some people just can't quite fathom it. So 127 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 2: I found this much better for me to perform to 128 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: my audience and they know what to expect they and 129 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 2: then they really give me the energy and let me 130 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: create on the spot. So that's kind of what it's 131 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 2: all about. 132 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: So it sort of answers the question. But was there 133 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: was sort of a trepidacious vibe for a while there. 134 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,679 Speaker 1: You're thinking, well, I'm going back, it's been a while. 135 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: Do I still have it, Will they still love me? 136 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: All that sort of stuff? 137 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. But last year I did a best of 138 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 2: twenty five years in stand up show where I selected 139 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 2: some of my favorite pieces and I did a UK 140 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 2: tour with that, just a small one, and a whole 141 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 2: new level of audience came out that haven't seen me, 142 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 2: my old audience from the Concord and then a whole 143 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 2: new wave of people from our flagman's death. And yeah, 144 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 2: that really invigorated me to want to do a brand 145 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 2: new show. So that's after last year's too. I just 146 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 2: started writing a new one because I wanted to get 147 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 2: back into it again. So I feel, yeah, I feel 148 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 2: fresh and new again. 149 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: What's the UK connection specifically because I know you're coming here, 150 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: but also you're doing UK. I mean it's a long 151 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: list of places. You're at Ali Pelly for goodness sake 152 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: in London, the famous Ali Pali. 153 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 2: I love that venue. I played it last year, so 154 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: you know, not forget that I did. You know about 155 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 2: eight years of my entire stand up career I was 156 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 2: in the UK. So I worked myself up from from 157 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 2: Edinburgh doing small rooms to then hitting London and then 158 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 2: playing every comedy club in London, there's over three hundred 159 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 2: of those, and then working up getting into the headline 160 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 2: spot over a period of eight years. And so they 161 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 2: do know me on the stand up circuit there, and yeah, 162 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: probably because I played Edinburgh for like six or seven 163 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 2: years in a row as well that I'm known as 164 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: a stand up in that country. So it's kind of 165 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 2: like they're my people in terms of the fact that 166 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 2: my style of comedy is very very English, very British, 167 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 2: kind of silly Spike Milligan, Monty Python esque. So I 168 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 2: think they just get me and yeah, they're a fantastic crowd. 169 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,559 Speaker 1: So and we're your people too, though, oh one hundred. 170 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 2: I mean New Zealand first, of course, that's why I'm 171 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 2: coming to New Zealand first. But in some ways it's 172 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 2: kind of like there's that Kiwi thing of like, all right, mate, 173 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 2: what have you got this time? They're a little bit 174 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: of a tougher crowd. You know, it's like playing to 175 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 2: your family, so they're like, oh, yeah, he's just being 176 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 2: a dick again. What have you actually got to say? Mate? 177 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 2: But I think there's a warmth of New Zealand of 178 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 2: being proud of me, and when I come home, they 179 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 2: all come out and we're kind of just have fun together. 180 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 2: Because of my style of comedy, there's nothing offensive. It's 181 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 2: just about pure mirth and silly fun. And I think 182 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 2: that's what we need right now. 183 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: Good And you're a little bit lucky in that sense, 184 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: because these are these are these are awkward times for 185 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: some comedians, aren't they depending on what you can say, 186 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: what you can't say. Will you get canceled, will they laugh, 187 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: will they hate you? Whatever? 188 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, And I think because I don't really open 189 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 2: any doors into something that might get me canceled. You know, 190 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 2: I'm not controversial. I'm just very lighthearted and it's about fun, 191 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 2: so's it's almost you know, I don't want to say family, 192 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 2: but it's kind of definitely you're not going to and 193 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 2: I'm not going to tread on anyone's toes on stage 194 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 2: apart from my own. 195 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: Exactly. Have you noticed by the way, I read something 196 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: really interesting the other day and I didn't realize it 197 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 1: because of the strike in your place, Hollywood and the 198 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: right it's never come back. I didn't really. I thought 199 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: everything would come back, and it would be the production, 200 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 1: the number of productions, the amount of production, the spend. 201 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: It's just never been the same. Do you get that sense? 202 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: Is that real? 203 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 2: Absolutely? Yeah, it's very slow to return. It has returned, 204 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 2: but not to the full extent. Definitely not, and it 205 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 2: doesn't look like it's going to. And of course we're 206 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: caught up in the artificial intelligence world as well, and 207 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 2: so not only it's a lot of the production people 208 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 2: behind the scenes that are put the thing together, they 209 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 2: are just not getting the work anymore because it's all 210 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 2: being done on computers and things. So I think a 211 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 2: lot of people have left LA left Hollywood because of 212 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 2: the industry is not what it was. And yeah, it's 213 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 2: the work is far and few between. I've got to 214 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 2: be honest, and so thank god I'm a comedian as well, 215 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 2: and I can get it back out and and do 216 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 2: my my original art form. If I was an actor, 217 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 2: i'd be I'd be a lot more worried. I mean, 218 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 2: I am an actor, but i'd be If I was 219 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 2: just an actor, I would be. I would certainly be 220 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: more worried because the work is not there, and a 221 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 2: lot of it is happening outside of the States, which 222 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 2: is an advantage to me as well. I can you know, 223 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 2: things are happening in New Zealand, Australia. There's stuff filming, 224 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 2: but for people that are here, you know they're finding 225 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 2: the workers is just not there right now. 226 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: Fantastic You start a Christmas shopping. 227 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: Yes, I have because I love it. I love this 228 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 2: season and you can put everything else out of the 229 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 2: way and just think of joy. And I like going 230 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: around the shops and seeing all the Christmas decorations, and 231 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 2: of course here in LA they do a big job 232 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 2: on it.
