Is this your first time to Bedfringe?
No, I had the pleasure of coming last year. I remember it mostly because I thought I was running incredibly late, was going to miss the start of my own show, sprinted to the venue knocking over a small child in the process only to realise I had read the time of my own show wrong and was an hour early.
Hopefully won’t be rugby tackling young children en route this year.
What are the big things you’ve learned since 2023 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?
Many things. I rewatched the tv series Pride and Prejudice, that was nice. I discovered the art of placing peanut butter on a knife and the pressing a bit of ritz cracker either side to make a new type of Oreo. Oh, and I went to the Edinburgh fringe last year with my debut show, won an award, got nominated for 2 others and had some nice reviews. The biscuit creation was probably the best bit though, if we’re being honest.
Tell us about your show.
It’s based aroun a piece of unsolcited feedback I recieved which was from a judge in a comedy competition early in my career who told me that I ‘Sound Good, look a mess’. Yeah. So the show is exploring the absurdity of making assumptions about people based on their physical appearance when really we should be judging them based on their biscuit preferences. Also talk about my love for Masterchef and have a joke about an egg, so I’ve tried to cover everyone.
What should your audience see at Bedfringe after they’ve seen your show?
Well, you’ve got a great selection, so the people fo Bedford are very lucky, but some top people for me:
Phil Green. Top show. Top comedian. Top lad.
Chelsea Birkby. Lovely, smart, silly bit of comedy.
Sasha Ellen. The pun-derful show title already has you invested. And she’s hilarious.
