The Trevor Feelgood Three Minute Interview

Last year at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Trevor Feelgood was in a show called The Barnes Identity - and after the show’s run, Trevor had a nervous breakdown and ended up in his pants in the middle of Toys R Us. He also accidentally electrocuted himself and put half of Newcastle into darkness. He quit stand-up comedy but, like Jesus and Noel Edmonds, he is back for a second go.

I am a one man sex machine. I go out on stage and tell one liner jokes, do some amazing magic and read from the bible.

“My show is Trevor Feelgood: Sex Machine. Crazy character comedy, one-liners and audience participation. I am bringing light entertainment kicking and screaming back into the 90s. Last year I was in the show called The Barnes Identity and after the show’s run, I had a nervous breakdown and ended up in my pants in the middle of Toys R Us. Also I accidentally electrocuted myself and put half of Newcastle into darkness. I quit stand-up comedy but, like Jesus and Noel Edmonds, I am back for a second go.”

Why did you choose to perform as part of Laughing Horse?

“I did my show with them last year and it was a great experience, they were very helpful I would recommend them to everyone.”

How do you describe your comedy to those that might not have seen you before?

“I am a one man sex machine. I go out on stage and tell one liner jokes, do some amazing magic and read from the bible. I also try and pull at least one sexy lady in the audience. I still haven’t been successful yet!

“The comedians I am most like are Russell brand because I look good in leather trousers too and Milton Jones because we get are shirts from the same place.”

What advice would you give your seventeen year old self?

“Take up stand up at 16 instead of later, when a girl said no she means no, buy shares in YouPorn and don’t watch Primeval.

If you were curating a stand up show for television, who would be your guests?

“Katherine Ryan - sexy !

“Sara Pascoe - also sexy !

“Aisling Bea - Irish and Sexy !

“And Jethro.”

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this article has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
