My last show was all about my family and almost nothing about me. Apparently, were supposed to talk about our own journeys. But who could be interested in the story of a shy misfit who grew up in the 12th best town in the South West, became a shepherd, a frogspawn farmer (by Royal Appointment, mind), who failed to be seduced by the WI but did get to be a f**t-catcher? Wheres the human interest in a man with no education who finds himself working alongside Doctors of Mathematics, whod better not see him counting on his fingers? A man whose peers have got old, scared and disappointing; a man who took 47 years to get down a Death Slide and 50 years to conquer shyness and to realise that its actually pretty good to be a misfit.And with old age and retirement wheezing down his neck, what should he do next?'This is the real thing. Personal, ludicrous and brilliantly told. ' - Nick Page
