Speaker 1: You come on, it's a bad day, let's have some fun.

61
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: How did you get from by? So your first job

62
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: was this funeral pianist.

63
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 2: How do you get from funeral pianist to what you're

64
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 2: doing now?

65
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: Well, I guess I got into comedy when I was

66
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: I left school and I love comedy. I loved love

67
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: listening to it. Albums are comedy albums, listen to you know,

68
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: the Python albums and all that kind of stuff. So

69
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: me and a mate we set up a little comedy club.

70
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: We did do every gig that was going.

71
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you say you took every gig that was going, yeah,

72
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: what what gig comes to mind as the one where

73
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: you were like, probably shouldn't have taken that one.

74
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: There was a gig once we did up in a

75
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: sort of it was like a working men's club up

76
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: in Blackpool, and the microphone was rather like the microphone

77
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm using that was on a bendy stalk attached to

78
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: a sort of DJ console and we were in a

79
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: double act. We had to lean into this j bendy

80
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: Mike and h And at the time there was a

81
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: lot of North South like, you know, beef like because

82
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: because the Northerners and Southerners there's always a little bit

83
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: of beef, you know. And then so our introduction was

84
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: the it was it was the least sympathetic introduction this right,

85
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: he goes, we got a couple of lads here up

86
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: from London, and then the whole crowd went it's not

87
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: a great start, you know. So we had to kind

88
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: of win the round and regionally win them round. But

89
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: at the end they were.

90
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 2: Like, he was like that.

91
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: Great. I wasn't expecting that was great.

92
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: And we've got Bill Bailey live in the studio. He's

104
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: I found out before that you wrote the show, because

105
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: it obviously sounds like a post COVID show.

106
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: But I found what he wrote the show before COVID. Yeah,

107
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: I think I kind of caused COVID. I'm sorry everyone,

108
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: my dad. I predicted it on the floor or on

109
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: the way out, guys, Yeah we're en route. There's all

110
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: going to go wrong. Oh no, and it did. But yeah,

111
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: since then, it's been a you know, the show obviously

112
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: changed quite a bit. I was going to say, yeah, exactly, Yeah, Hey,

113
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: you know when you're out. No, yeah, no one's gone anywhere?

114
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 2: Have they?

115
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: Anyone been anywhere? No, no one's done anything. So that's

116
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: that thing.

117
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: I don't even remember what that was like life before COVID,

118
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: like something in twenty nineteen I go that that is

119
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: a memory that I really struggling to take up.

120
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: And there was nothing. No, there was like there was

121
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: a I have a very vivid memory of standing in

122
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: the garden in my house in London, just like wearing

123
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: a towel holding a bottle of sherry. Right nineteen Yeah,

124
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: post sounds like a lockdown.

125
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, yeah yeah.

126
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: Just staring at the sky. Yeah. And I remember looking

127
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: up at the swifts that migrate from Africa, and they

128
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: had just returned from Africa, and I just remember looking

129
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: up at them and I remember thinking, I wonder what

130
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: they're thinking, these swifts. And then these swifts are like

131
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: they come all the way from Africa and they're finding

132
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: out my garden. They're like, jeez, look at that guy.

133
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: He's lost it. And then just turning around flying back

134
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: to Africa. This place has had it. How many migrations,

135
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: like oh my god, this was not this country. Turn around,

136
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: go back then. It's a good way to get housing

137
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: prices down. Just activate bill in your local suburb. There's

138
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: a nutter in the garden.

139
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: Again.

140
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: It's a hard time.

141
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: One final thing we heard that you've got. We heard

142
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: on the grape mine and you have perfect pitch. Yeah,

143
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: so I was wondering if we could test this. Okay,

144
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: Woody who can't sing for ship? Whoa just not a

145
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,119
Speaker 2: of course, not a trained singer.

146
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: That's pretty fair enough.

147
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: Okay, So what he's going to have a crack at

148
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: a note? All right, We've got a keyboard in here,

149
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 2: as you know, and then you hit the corresponding note

150
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: to what he's right?

151
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, are you ready hit this? Bill? That's not

152
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: a note on the human register. There's like a humpback whales.

153
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: Just turn around and the chasm straight. That's my cousin, Frank.

154
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's more like, here we go.

155
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: I don't have let's let's whatnot?

156
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,520
