0:03 And some people who inspired you to kick off your career yeah it's that fair to say yeah they were definitely a lot of comics who I who I thought. Would massively inspired by yeah definitely yeah anyone in particular already infused. Well I mean I I was sort of 13 14 years old around the time that Michael McIntyre's or broke and became what is I'm 12 now you are 12 you going backwards yeah. Yeah at the eight next week but yeah yeah so he so his show. Michael McIntyre's comedy roadshow sort of kicked off when I was at that age where you start to really get into stuff you know the 13-14. Yeah yeah so he so I used to watch him all the time and then I think 200 lire I think that was sort of the person.
0:55 Who looked out and was like I'd like to do that yeah it was probably him when I was about that sort of age and I'm all right in thinking that he somehow. Got your number and yeah called you and yeah it was very good time very bizarre if we basically. Have the same manager as it and I but I never met him MacIntyre and then about a year ago I was running in Hyde Park and my Rick. My manager sent me a text saying. Michael Mackinac wants to speak to you I've given him your mobile he's going to call in the next sort of ten minutes Jesus and I sort. Of thought it was a joke yeah why not so I was like you know like panicking a little bit because I thought it might be real but I didn't think it was real. So by thought I better just in case I bet I sort of stopped running and cuz I'm gonna be panting when he calls so I sat on this bench in Hyde Park.
1:53 Just waiting for the phone to ring and he 10 minutes went and he didn't call so I was like I was just a joke that I wind up so I carried. On running and then about 25 minutes later my phone rang and it was unknown number as I all [ __ ] and I was like at the worst sort. Of point of sweat and yeah I'm seeing it was like the worst the baby the big deep breath. Many in the nights and it was him and he it was really weird so weird to have yet to have someone who like you is the reason. You started doing comedy to then to call you and be like and to paint to him yeah and I sort of just sort of panting. Down fine but he actually started the Bogue provide you're my own Road. He was like singing down the phone for the first.
2:45 Exactly how I imagined Michael McIntyre's a coupie it was so weird I answered and he still singing there's only one Tom Lucy down phone for what. Was and I can to be long talk I bet yeah cuz I was laughing and then he sort of carried on and then it sort. Of became a little bit awkward was he calling for any particular reason yeah he wasn't just calling for a chat he he then asked me to support. Him a few shows geez literally just down the road the Duchess theatre just down the road we did like three or four gigs there and then and then a bit of writing as well and it was Matt is he as lovely.
