seeing your happy smiley faces,

probably feeling very fortunate

that you managed to get a

ticket to see a living legend.

- Or am I...

-

Shut up.

I know, I know.

You lucky f***ers.

You really... I'm joking, of course.

The pleasure is all mine.

Thank you so much

for coming out,

spending your

hard-earned cash.

I know there's been

a recession on.

Someone told me.

I hadn't really...

Is it still...

I don't...

It really didn't affect me

if I'm being honest.

Oh dear.

We can laugh about it now.

No, come on.

I don't understand

the recession.

It wasn't till last year

I found out

you could go

into your bank and say,

"Can I withdraw

my cash?"

And they could go, "No."

"What?"

( Weaselly voice )

"No, we ain't got it."

"I've got L50,000 saved."

( Laughs )

"You ain't. You ain't."

"Where is it?"

"Lost it."

"Well, have you checked

the vault?"

"It's empty."

"Well, what was the point of that?

You might as well have kept it in a

drawer, you spotty little twat."

I don't...

I hope you enjoy the show.

Or you'll let me know,

won't you?

If I say something funny,

you'll laugh and I'll go,

"Oh, I'll keep that in

for the rest of the tour."

If I say something that isn't

funny, you won't laugh

and I'll go,

"I'll lose that bit."

So some bits tonight

will be exclusive to you.

They... they will be

the sh*t bits, granted.

Okay, let's start the show.

Let's get on with it.

No one wants to be here

all night.

You can have too much

of a good thing, can't you?

Like heroin.

What?

Though too much heroin

is death, basically.

That's when you know

you've had too...

You go, "F***, I'm dead.

I'm f***ed."

That's the thing though

with heroin.

Try anything once, kids,

sure, but know this.

No no.

You think, "I'll try a heroin.

I'll just try one.

Give me... give me a heroin.

Give me one heroin, okay?"

Just have one.

"What's it like?"

"It's f***in' lovely.

I want more.

I can't just have..."

It's like Pringles.

It's like once you pop,

you can't stop.

That's... I think that's how it works.

I'm not an expert.

Believe it or not, I've

never been a heroin addict.

No round of applause for that?

See? No.

See?

No round of applause for never

having been a heroin addict.

If I'd have come out here

and go, "I used to be a heroin addict...

I used to mug people and

sh*t myself in doorways..."

-

- Exactly. "Oh yeah!

He... he hasn't done

those things for a while.

He hasn't done those things

that we never did

in the first place."

Why are you applauding someone

for suddenly acting

like a normal member

of society?

It's like I've lost

a bit of weight.

I've lost about 20 lbs.

Exactly!

-

- What? No no.
