Here's an interview I did with the Bristol press. Some of the things I didn't say - like the thing about accents and people from Somerset being backward- and I wasn't born in Leicestershire and didn't tell her that story on the phone so she must have got it from this site somewhere - I was born in Yorkshire. But it's mainly accurate. Thanks to Rachel for emailing it to me

Articles from 1996
Here's some stuff I wrote for various newspapers in 1996. The TV reviews never appeared in print, but were a speculative attempt to take on the Observer job. Shame. There's some all right stuff in there.
Also a break down of Murder One from some topical TV show or other. I definitely filmed this.

Other Boat Race - Radio Times
Radio Times coverage of the Other Boat Race. I was the one who hit the Cambridge crew member with my oar, but it wasn't my fault. Konnie Huq tries to pass the buck, but as Sir Steve Redgrave says in the article, the clash was Cambridge's fault and they received an official warning after the incident. Don't we look happy in the photo though (taken before the race).

Publicity and Reviews of Fist of Fun series 1
Lots of press about Fist of Fun, when we were young and outspoken fools. Look out for the stuff we say about Ben Elton, and then his reply.The Independent article by James Rampton is titled "Two Ever So Slightly Irritated Young Men."
The Page 3 girl appeared in one of the sketches in the series, though I have a feeling it never made it to the screen.

Saturday Telegraph
The editor of the student bit from the Saturday Telegraph emailed me to ask if he could use one of my warming ups in his paper. I agreed. It was quite heavily sub editted as you'll see if you compare the article to my original text.
It also got an amusing complaint letter which can be read in full in Warming Up for 25th November 2003, but which I include the first page of here, for your amusement.

Cosmopolitan Diary of a Penis
Cosmo asked me to write a diary of a penis. I did several drafts. I have included them all here, along with their edit of the piece. Which in my opinion removes most of the funny stuff. And I had kept it quite broad in the first place, I feel.

B Magazine Article
An article in B Magazine which is said to have been written by me. This is not true.It was written by a journalist based on a reading of my book and an interview with me. Why they couldn't just say that I don't know. I don't really like it as it messes around with some of the jokes and takes some of the sensitive stuff from the book out of context and includes some jokes that I have never said and would never make. Which would be fine if it just said it was written by someone else.
Plus it pretty much fails to plug the book which was the point of the exercise.
But never mind. Hope you enjoy it.

Bizarre Article from More magazine 8/11/95
To publicise our Fist of Fun book and video me and Stew did this interview for More magazine where we pretended we lived with each other. We did live with each other (and Tim Richardson and Andrew Mackay) when we first came to London, but by this late stage sharing a house would have driven us insane. I think the reporter knew we were pretending and the pic of the two of us in bed together is clearly a gag, but in hindsight I'm surprised we went along with this!

Mixed Press for a student revue
Here are some of the mixed reviews we got in 1988.
I still use "Patchy but promising" as a kind of catch-phrase. I think the Punch review was written by Alan Coren. I did nothing to prove him wrong on my recent appearance with him on the Newsquiz!

University Production of the Alchemist
Me, Emma "Williams" Kennedy and renowned confectionary historian Tim Richardson in a college production of the Alchemist. From posh student newspaper "Cherwell"
It is interesting that even then there was confusion over who was Lee and who was Herring, though the paper got my name wrong so many times I began to believe it was some kind of running joke.
