    I heard Stroller went on a cruise last year. One evening he was invited to dine at the Captain’s Table but told them to **** off saying he’d not spent all that money only to eat with the crew.

    Anyone interested in the Rolling Stones, and not seen Nick Broomfield's fascinating documentary on Brian Jones, see it on catch-up, was BBC 2 on Monday.

    Just landed and joined the massive queue at passport control, or UK Border as the sign says, intimidatingly. Did it always say that or is it just since we took back control? Anyway, its horrendous. A lot of brown faces in the queue. I think most of them are terrorists.

    I know. But Heathrow is also an airport and would face similar issues

    And has had very similar issues as has Stanstead before Brexit. I know you like to blame everything on Brexit, however if you’re incorrect then it will be called out.

    I still love you though….but not as much as Bracknell x

    Fans walk out on 'drunk' Dylan Moran at first New Zealand gig

    Fans were left stunned and some walked out of Dylan Moran’s first New Zealand show on Saturday night when the Irish comedian appeared very drunk, speaking incoherently and unable to remember jokes.

    Rebecca Mackle of Christchurch said she and partner Keegan Power, a long-time fan, were shocked at the state of Moran during the sold-out show.

    “It was really disappointing. He was mumbling and incoherent, and he kept losing his train of thought. He’d start a joke and lose his place.”

    After what seemed an abruptly called intermission, Moran came back on stage “significantly drunker”, she said.

    “He seemed disconnected from his body. He knocked his microphone over, and threw his jacket across the stage.

    “He told us that he had relapsed with his drinking. After that it wasn’t funny any more. No-one was laughing, it was just sad. He was drunk as a skunk.

    “A lot of comedians are a bit messed up. But he hadn’t just had a few drinks, he was trolleyed.”


    Mackle said they and other audience members left early.

    “We’ve never walked out of something before. But it was just so uncomfortable. It was like watching someone fall to pieces.”

    ISAAC THEATRE ROYAL
    Moran began his New Zealand tour at the Isaac Theatre Royal in Christchurch on Saturday.
    Moran, who has won numerous awards and plaudits for his stand-up comedy and wrote and starred in the hit show TV Black Books, has talked publicly about his alcoholism. He announced a few years ago he had got sober, but has since said he began drinking again during the Covid pandemic.

    Saturday’s performance, at the Isaac Theatre Royal, was the start of Moran’s six-date New Zealand tour of his latest show, We Got This. Tickets were $89.90 a head. All but two performances are fully booked.

    It is billed as “a joyously furious romp through the frustration and folly of modern day life”.

    Another audience member at the Christchurch show, who did not want to be named, said Moran appeared to be drinking onstage, and struggled to stand up. She described the performance was “not funny to watch”.

    “He said he had returned to alcoholism, but it was obvious.”

    One man who was in the audience said Moran was obviously drunk, slurring his words and rambling, they still found him funny.

    How comedians find their prey, and how to avoid being called out.
    Having only seen him play his drunken character on Black Books, they thought it might have been part of the act, he said.

    “In the second half he seemed a lot more inebriated. It was quite hard to distinguish whether he was being himself or a character. We hadn’t seen him live before.”

    Moran has arrived in New Zealand from Australia where fans and reviewers gave similar feedback after 20 shows there. Some fans expressed concern for his wellbeing.

    One person said on social media the comedian was “stumbling around the stage slurring his words” during a performance in Launceston, Tasmania.

    Artshub called his Melbourne show “a shambolic and disappointing show from a cult favourite”. Timeout found plenty to laugh as during the show, but noted Moran “got seemingly more distracted, often losing his train of thought or struggling to make his way through a story”.

    Stuff has contacted the event’s promoter, Bohm Presents, for comment.

    Checked the back garden pond this afternoon. A couple of fish have survived the bastard heron, the frogs have produced the regular hundreds of tadpoles, but the big news is that Olivia's back!
