0:00.0	Well, today we speak to somebody rather interesting.
0:04.1	Paul Foote is a comedian who has been around now for some time.
0:09.7	Interesting in so many ways.
0:12.9	How he got to where he is is a little bit different to the story you will often hear from comedians. And where he is now is very
