Mark's currently on tour with his show Just to Impress, so do book your tickets now at mark

symons.co.uk. Really hope you enjoy part two of our walk and do give us a like and a follow so you can catch us every week.

Here's Mark and Ray Re.

So yeah, I was going to say, week. Here's Mark and Vé-Way.

So yeah, I was going to say when I was very aware of you, because you used to win,

a couple of times you won joke of the year at the Edinburgh Festival.

So I've been on a list a few times and then in 2020, I won it. 24. What was the joke? I was going to sail around the globe in the world's smallest ship but I bottled it. It's such a silly joke. It's not true of this. I don't think it's even the best joke in that show that year, but it's a really nice joke written down. So when people are voting for it, everyone gets it. It's silly. It's nice. Yeah. So, yeah, I was really chuffed. What was the one you knew? There was another one that I thought you nearly were. I came second one year. Do you know what that was? With, um, did you know if you get pregnant in the Amazon, it's next day delivery?

This is a lovely little one, I think. But yeah, and they didn't do the awards last year, so I'm actually still technically the reigning champion.

So if they don't do it, I'm going to have that title forever.

What do you think about sort of, I suppose, a lot of comedy now, I would say you're in the minority in terms of that sort of quit blood comedy as opposed to persona anecdotal comedy.

Would you say that's true?

There's not many of us that do what I do.

A lot of people start doing one-liners and then they realize

how to write 20 minutes of good one-liners is a lot.

So people, I think, they start to realise that.

We should just say there are some...

There's a lot of building around this here.

Hi, these characters um toiling away over

there so if you hear noise it's not awful um but yeah there's not many of us to do it really

as myself oh what we're talking so yeah there's sort of quick lead comedy so who would you say

tim vine tim vine jimmy car does it a bit more jimmy car but he's i wouldn't even count him so yeah they're sort of quit-led comedy so who would you say Tim Vine Tim Vine
