Summary

Comedian Milton Jones joins Gabby to talk about why he sees midlife as being like the “second time round to the buffet!” They also talk about his Christian faith and how attitudes towards faith can change as we get older. They also discuss having aging parents, and Milton speaks very openly about what it was like caring for his mum who suffered from Alzheimer's. Milton also shares what he has come to understand about comedy, over the many years spent honing his craft and before selling out big arenas. They also debate whether or not you should take more risks in midlife, and relish the joy of knowing yourself better at the midpoint.

0:47.7	one-liner like my guest today. He is irrefutably the king of comic wordplay and probably the man with the loudest shirts on the circuit.
0:56.0	This week I'm joined by the one and only Milton Jones.
0:59.2	Milton's unique brand of comedy perfectly suited the long-running panel show Mock the Week. He was
1:04.0	a regular on the show for many years. He's also appeared on Live at the Apollo, House of
1:08.7	Games, Michael McIntyre's Comedy Road show and created many shows for BBC Radio 4. In fact it's currently 15
1:15.7	series and counting. His comedy is equal parts daft and hugely intelligent and
1:21.1	Milton is on the cusp of taking his wild hair and eclectic
1:24.7	wardrobe on the road once more for his new tour. But I'm keen to learn about the
1:28.7	man behind the jokes and what he might think about the business of being middle-aged.
1:33.4	So here he is.
1:35.4	Milton Jones, welcome to the midpoint.
1:40.8	Thank you.
1:41.8	First things first, a little sartorial breakdown because
