00:01My heart was nearly pounding out of my chest.

00:04That was absolutely insane.

00:16We're going to be hanging 50 metres above the Chesterfield Stadium,

00:19drinking fireball, because obviously we can't drink it in the stadium,

00:23which is a rule that is outdated.

00:25However, I am a bit nervous, I'm not going to lie.

00:28Got into the cage, strapped us in, into the hottest seat in the house here at Chesterfield,

00:32hoisted up 50 metres, and yeah, got to watch a great game with a great view.

00:42Yeah, so in regards to the drinking terrace bar,

00:44and to be honest, you should get rid of it.

00:46Like, have a drink with your mates in moderation.

00:48It's what the game needs.

00:53As a stand-up comedian, I've gone out there many times where it's not gone so well,

00:56but yeah, that was definitely more scary.

00:57I may have let out a little whimper now and then,

00:59but I think I tried to disguise it as a cheer.

01:01Terrifying, but actually quite fun.

01:03The atmosphere is unbelievable up there.

01:09Yeah, that was the most extreme way I've ever watched a football game,

01:11and that's all thanks to Fireball.

01:12They're constantly pushing boundaries,

01:13and they're on the fan side to make sure that their best interests are at heart.

01:18So based on the best interests at heart.
