…But Some Of Us Are Looking At The Gutter

Last year, after 20 years of stand up, I did Britain’s Got Talent. People asked me, “why now?”. Up ‘til that point I’d been very happy avoiding TV & fame – and in that sense, I’d been hugely successful! However, the year before, I’d also had a stroke and lost half my eyesight.  I was now keen to talk about my experience, comedically, to as wide an audience as possible.  I did quite well, got to the semi-finals & had my 15 minutes fame.

Careful what you wish for!

Who knew that talking about my experience would be so offensive?  How dare I make jokes about my own strokes & blindness! “You nasty, awful man”.

This is a candid and hilarious new stand-up hour, talking about who I am, in an era where people are really keen to hear about who you are, so long as who you are, is something they want to hear about. Otherwise “you deserve your stroke*.”

Never mind the haters, I come back at you with love. Well, a couple of you can still kiss my half-blind backside**

*an actual online comment

**I never had a single complaint from anyone who had actually had a stroke.

As seen on Britain’s Got Talent (ITV) and Rosie Jones TV Disability Extravaganza (UKTV)
