Speaker 1: Queen Prince Prince Philip, and his tuxedo was covered in

36
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: little darns and nicks and cuts. Those aristos you see,

37
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: they don't they don't need to. They don't feel the

38
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: need to wear something new.

39
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 3: And what was your act?

40
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: You?

41
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 3: Was you doing Bob?

42
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: I was doing Bob the Royal Variety performance, And of

43
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: course I was in between Marvin Hamlish and Elaine Page.

44
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: What a type fit that was. And of course I

45
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: was the only one that none of it, nobody'd ever

46
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: heard of. Because the audience can't afford. The audience is

47
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: all wealthy used car dealers from essix and they're all

48
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: All I could see was the sea of gray heads

49
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: looking down to their program. Who the hell is this?

50
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: But it worked, It went really well. And I looked

51
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: up and the Queen and Philip were laughing as I

52
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: left the stage and she spoke to me in the lineup.

53
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: It was fantastic.

54
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: Beforehand, how many back and forth were there about here's

55
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 2: what you can and can't do.

56
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: Oh, it was like a military operation. They wanted They

57
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: did the thing that all stand up comics hate. They

58
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: wanted every single word of the routine and you just

59
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: but it had to be done. It was like a

60
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: military operation they want. They didn't leave anything to chance,

61
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: including the lineup. You will stand there, you will not

62
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: speak until spoken to. It was incredible that the level

63
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: of stress and tension was the scariest gig I've ever

64
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: done in my lise.

65
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: I've been so nerve wracking.

66
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: Oh oh, and what I didn't find out. The only

67
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: thing I didn't know about was what my intro was

68
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: going to be in Dez O'Connor did the intro and said,

69
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: our next act is from Australia. So in the UK,

70
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: you say to the host of a gig, do not

71
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: say I'm from Australia because they're all like, that's got

72
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: them up against you, right, And then he said, and

73
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: I think he's a bit weird. Oh oh it was cold.

74
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 1: It was a cold start, but a warm finish, let

75
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: me tell you right now, because I thought.

76
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: Being an Australian, there's always people said, oh he's in Australian.

77
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 3: That's that's nice.

78
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: You no, no, we see they love us. But in

79
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: a comic club or a cabaret situation, like for example,

80
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: if you're in the South of England in your Scottish

81
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: it'll be get off, jock, and if you're English working

82
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: in Scotland it'll be you know, they don't. You've got

83
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: to be that stuff because it can go against you

84
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: as much as can go with you.

85
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: It's hearing the names Des O'Connor and Elaine Page is

86
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,800

00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: I you so can people learn like can anyone learn

104
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: that skin?

105
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: Yes, because you can if you've got an aptitude and

106
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: an interest in doing it. All you need to do

107
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: is and this is so COVID safe too, because what

108
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: you'll do is you'll send me a video of your

109
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: act or whatever you want to do, and I will

110
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: give you feedback about it. And there's a lot of

111
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 1: technical things that you can actually you can actually learn,

112
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: but from someone who's done it a lot over the

113
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: last forty years. It's amazing how many tricks and little

114
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: things there are to develop your skills as a stage performer.

115
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 3: It's all about the isn't it a lot about when

116
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: they're up there?

117
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely?

118
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 3: And if you pause, and someone told me this many

119
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: years ago, if you just pause, gather your thoughts exactly,

120
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: because everyone wants you to win. No one wants to

121
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 3: be all.

122
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: They want to like you. This is the most amazing thing.

123
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: It's a line from rumored Kid. They want to like you.

124
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: It's from forty second Street and it is so true.

125
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: As soon as you know that you're a winner. And

126
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: the other thing about Heckles is like everybody's terrified of Heckler's.

127
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: Walk towards them. Just walk, take a step towards them.

128
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: You'll see it. You know, when you see an open

129
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: mic and a comics having trouble, they'll avoid the area

130
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: where where they where. The it's all body language stuff.

131
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: It's amazing how many technical things there are to the tips.

132
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: And when you take your show on the road, a

133
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 3: man wants to do a one woman.

134
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: Show, darling your life, that woman is going to be

135
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,840
