Hello, Stu here. Just popping in before the show starts to let you know that my comedy special

I need you alive is now available at Stuart Goldsmith.com. There's a link there where you

can watch it on a breathtaking array of places for the rest of the month, including the

£800 guerrilla website Amazon Prime in the UK and US. Xbox, God knows how they do that,

as well as loads of other links to catch it on audio. Go to Stuart Goldsmith.com and watch

this show that I am staggeringly proud of. And do watch it if you can, because it's

very pretty.

you're in for a long night. Basically you have to watch it, think it's shit, and listen

to me for an hour, talk about my method.

I think it was Richard Sandling on the bill as well, I think he may have been. So I hosted

and then James had a set and then we had a break and then we did a live Comcom. It was a

fun thing but very few people were as visionary as James and very few other acts that I asked

were up for that format. Because why would you put yourself through that? But we are going
