A Quiet Word
A Quiet Word with Alan Davies
S1 • E3 Apr 2, 2011 30m
Tony Martin interviews his British counterpart Alan Davies. Not only are both men funny, they patently have a long-standing friendship. Accordingly, their chit-chat is much more than a series of platitudes.
To start, Martin quizzes Davies about his early days as a stand-up, with an emphasis on his first shows in Australia nearly 20 years ago. Davies, currently seen on QI and Whites, explains why he always opened in a shambolic manner. Just as the audience started to become uneasy, he would say, ''I haven't started yet. Don't worry, I'm not shit.''
