00:00Coming to Newcastle twice with your show, how are you feeling about your North East visit?
00:14You've got to be on your toes a bit more with Newcastle, so they're also, they are amazing.
00:22Last year I did a routine in my show where I wanted to see who was in the audience, so I did the flake ad song.
00:28So I would go, only the crumbliest, and then the crowd would all go, flakey as chocolate, and that's how I knew who was there.
00:38And the whole lot of them in Newcastle did it, the whole room, right?
00:43So, it's not a very good, it's not a great idea to give Newcastle fans a little chant, right?
00:50Because they're huge football fans, St. James's, you know, Newcastle, they all sing, they're brilliant football fans.
00:56So, it was my own fault, about four or five times one guy during my show throughout the whole night would just go,
01:06blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:12Because that's how they set singing off in the stands.
01:15So yeah, so that's, expect lots of singing and chanting back in Newcastle.
01:20A really good National Trust house near there. I can't remember the name of it. I am literally in Edinburgh mode.
01:27All I know is I'm in a bubble in Edinburgh, but once I get back out, I'll remember the names and things.
01:34So before, you'll be visiting the Holston National Trust places in Newcastle, what about a night out on the Toon?
01:39No, no way. Not a chance. Are you mental? We go from the venue and we run into the car. I've never seen anything like it in my life.
01:51It's almost, it's slightly terrifying. But I'm 53. I don't do nights in the town. I go to a pub for a quiet pint.
01:57So in Newcastle, unless there's an old boozer outside, and we don't really drink on tour either.
02:04So normally we go back out to where we're staying because Luke will have booked a really cool hotel.
02:10We've stayed in stately homes as well, but they're outside the city so that we wake up in these stately homes.
02:16And we won't stay in a home that was 400 years old.
02:20And I mean, I mean, they hadn't changed it for 400 years.
02:25So the same doors, the same beds, I mean, the same beds, like, but different mattresses.
02:31And your door didn't even close properly because it was so delicate.
02:34But the family have just passed it on and passed it on and passed it on.
02:38And then we met the guy who owned it and he was obviously a blood relative and he runs it.
02:44I went, this is amazing, like huge fires burning.
02:47So that's what we do. We try and get out of the cities and out of the stately homes and stay there.
02:52Very cultured.
02:53Is there a reason you're performing in Newcastle twice?
02:57Yeah, it's too busy.
02:59Do you know what I mean?
03:00So we set out the stands really quickly.
03:04And it's also, I think I could stay in the stands for four weeks.
03:09Maybe next year.
03:10Yeah, they love going to the stands because they can get a bit of food and it's good access in the centre of the city.
03:19And they can, you know, it's quite an intimate setting.
03:22Like that stage, you know, is tiny.
03:25Like, I think two of my stunts won't even be going near that venue.
03:30You can't even fit them.
03:30So we're just, that's when you, yeah, you've got to rejig the show a bit for Newcastle.
03:36Godless of where people are, why should they get tickets to come see your stand-up show?
03:42Because it's a break from the norm.
03:44Absolute, total.
03:46Everybody's always said that.
03:47I've had so many compliments here going, oh my God, Jason, I so needed that.
03:51So they get, they get fulfilled in the show.
03:54Literally, I've had somebody go, thank you for putting my head in the clouds for an hour.
03:59I thought that was good.
