Can you remember the moment or time in your life when you laughed more than you've ever laughed before or since? Mine was seeing Eddie Izzard for the first time on tv. I'd never seen anything like it before and it made me laugh so much I thought I was going to be ill! Ever since then I've bought absolutely everything that's been produced on video or dvd.
I know you're all going to think I'm a bit odd but I wanted to somehow thank him for making me laugh so much. I thought of writing to him but it just wasn't personal enough for me - I had to thank him personally - nothing else would do. Question was, how?
Well, the opportunity happened a couple of years ago and this is how it unfolded: It was a busy Friday night and me and my mates were standing outside Yo Sushi in Soho at around midnight. We were very drunk. As we were slurring our words and telling each other how much we loved each other I happened to glance into Yo Sushi and there in the back was non other than the great man himself.
All conversation stopped as my mates followed my gaze. ''that's Eddie Izzard'' I told them. Without a moments hesitation I bowled straight into the restaurant, stood directly in front of him and and simply said ''Eddie''. He looked up at me (as he was eating) with an almost shocked expression
on his face. It was at that instant that I thought I had blown it. The conversation followed thus starting with Eddie spreading his arms wide in consternation:
''Are you a chef''?
''Eddie I know you're eating but I've just got to tell you.........
''Are you a chef''?
''No I, er...''
''Are you skilled in preparing Sushi''
''Err... no. Why?
''Because you're standing in the middle of the area where the chefs work.
Come on round''
I then went and sat beside him and simply thanked him for making me laugh more than I'd ever done in my life. He humbly thanked me and I left feeling fantastic.
Here's the sketch that started it all for me.

I can think of four times I laughed so loud I couldn't breath.
1st was when I saw Billy Connolly in the late 70s with my first wife just before I married her I think. Everyone was in the same state though. Tears rolling down our faces.
2nd was seeing "Young Frankenstein" at the pictures when it first came out and I was with some mates and we had had a few cans before hand.
3rd was when I was recovering from having my appendix out and my mother was taking the slash out of the bloke in the next bed to me who was in with "twisted testicles".
I had to ask the nurses to remove my mother because I thought all my stitches were going to rip. The more pain I was in the more my mother laughed and the more I laughed. I must get my own sense of humor from her.
4th time was drug and drink induced. Large amounts of resin smoked and beer drank. Then someone put "Airplane" on the TV and that was me away.
I really thought I was going to pass out that time because I really could not get my breath at all.

None very exciting for me, i repaired the phones for-
Sian Adey-Jones' brother who lived in a country mansion near Denbigh. (1980's page 3 for you youngsters). He insisted i sat down to breakfast with the family before i fixed their phone.
Mike Peters' mum, long after the Alarm split up. She still had all his albums on the wall, very sweet old dear.
Er, thats it.
Except to add my name to the Ade Worman appreciation society

No-one will believe you...
In October 1987 Guns and Roses ended there UK tour in Hammersmith...
I was flying out to L.A. next day after seeing GnR with a mate at Hammersmith Odeon.
When i got on the plane they were sitting in the row in front of me
Travelling cattle class with everyone else, they even had to collect their own guitars and stuff from the conveyor belt...early days for them then.
Slash slept for the whole flight, Axel was signing anything thrust at him, including the air hostesses shirt. and moaning continually about warm English beer
but he was fun, if a little on the edge.
Made for an interesting flight

Sitting having lunch with Lee Marvin on the set of Dirty Dozen The Next Mission. In 1985,stars and peasants were allowed to mingle!
Chatting with Jules Holland after his very expensive grand piano had just been drowned in a thunderstorm. A very nice bloke who took his £30K write off very well.

Hugh Dennis (Mock The Week, Outnumbered etc - real name Peter) and Boz Boorer (Morrissey guitarist - real name Martin) were both in our class thru infant & junior school in NW London.
'Boz' was always very musical and so were his family, as far as I remember.
Dont remember 'Hugh' being 'the funny one' but he was popular cos his dad was the local vicar's son and they lived in the vicarage near the school which had a huge garden, so we'd often spend a couple of hours playing in the garden after school, on the way home.
Happy days..
Great story btw Jem
