Hello there…. (said with a strong Irish accent)
Today we have the oh so talented Darren Walsh in the house. Darren is a Stand-up (amongst other things, he does films and silly drawings too), and will be guesting at our monthly gig in residence, Queens Head 14th July.
Darren will shortly be making the trip north of the border for this years Edinburgh Festival where he will be starring along with two other tall comedians in a show called Giants of Comedy.

When were you happiest?
When I discovered in 1995 that the government were willing to actually pay me to go to Art College and meet a load of other like-minded idiots.
What is your greatest fear?
Giant flies. Luckily, they only exist in my nightmares.
What is your earliest memory?
Hanging up my coat in the living room.
Which living person do you most admire?
Hmm John Cleese, and all of the Pythons.
What was your most embarrassing moment?
Going to school with trousers that didn’t quite reach the bottom. A moment that lasted 5 years.
Property aside, what’s the most expensive thing you’ve bought?
A computer. I haven’t a clue about mortgages (what does horse power mean?).
What is your most treasured possession?
I have an old Jaguar and every year it’s a lottery wether it’ll be scrapped or not. The bumper is sellotaped taped on. It’s just passed it’s MOT again, so I’ll have it for another year.
What would your super power be?
To have enough hours in the day.
Jamie Oliver.
Who would play you in the film of your life?
Any midget.
What is your most unappealing habit?
I don’t like talking on the phone, I prefer to text. I’m always texting or writing jokes or something on my phone. Constantly. Even in socials situations. Terrible behaviour.
What or who is the greatest love of your life?
Laughing.
Which living person do you most despise, and why?
Jamie Oliver. He annoys me.
What would be your fancy dress costume of choice?
I love costumes. Chicken ones are good. I like emu ones too. I might do a gig in an emu costume one day but not mention it at all.
What is the worst thing anyone’s said to you?
“You know, you’re actually alright”.
As in, I thought you weren’t alright… but now, I actually think you’re alright you are.
What is the worst job you’ve done?
Well I used to wash dishes for a living, not normal dishes either, proper giant grill pans and saucepans, the stuff that didn’t fit in the dishwasher.
I remember telling the chef once that this chargrilled chicken wing just wasn’t shifting, so he handed me a chisel and I washed up with it.
What has been your biggest disappointment?
I am a pessimist and I never get my hopes up. So I’m rarely disappointed.
If you could go back in time, where would you go?
Vienna, between 1750 and 1830. Brilliant music they had back then. Or Hollywood in the 1920′s.
When did you last cry, and why?
I honestly can’t remember *feels manly*
What keeps you awake at night?
Thinking about the fact that I’m awake and that I should stop thinking that I’m awake because it’s keeping me awake., but once I’m thinking that I’m thinking that I’m thinking that I shouldn’t be thinking about that, it makes me not sleep.
What song would you like played at your funeral?
Anything by Jean Jacques Perrey or Florence Foster Jenkins (Check her out on google).
If that’s not silly enough for them, a ridiculously long coffin would be funny wouldn’t it? I’d get one twice as long as me.
How would you like to be remembered?
“He was alright, actually”
What is the most important lesson life has taught you?
No need to be a dick.
Where would you most like to be right now?
Space.
Tell us a joke
