Transcript
00:00Ever since I was young, I had the singular dream of being a stand-up comedian.
00:04There's a guy that pissed himself. Is it something you do every night?
00:06It's not part of the act.
00:08Do you think I should stick with it?
00:10I think you should even quit being a journalist.
00:13There's a really good hardware store near here.
00:15They can get a rope, a little stool.
00:16Oh, I get it. Yeah, very, yeah.
00:18Yeah, put it on your credit card. You're not even going to have to pay.
00:22We are doing a comedy special.
00:24Really?
00:24Do you have a 9 to 5 job?
00:25Well, I do now, yeah.
00:27And how do you feel doing it?
00:28Dead inside.
00:28You are being sent to L.A. to make the Hollywood comedians, in particular, Dustin Stratford.
00:35You'll never get Dustin Stratford.
00:36I want him on the cover!
00:38Oh.
00:38That's where I want him.
00:40And loads of pages in the middle.
00:42Mr. Mulligan.
00:43First time in L.A.?
00:44It's Mullinger.
00:45That British sarcasm?
00:47Left a load of messages about Dustin.
00:49Dustin's not giving any interviews.
00:52You are the funniest comedian I'm going to shag this week.
00:56Oh, lucky me.
00:58Being a successful comedian is not really about being funny, is it?
01:02What?
01:03How bad are you?
01:07Don't tell me you're where you are now without...
01:09I don't know anybody.
01:10No?
01:10There you go.
01:10What do you put your success down to?
01:15Being funny, I guess, and chowing down on a lot of producer Dom.
01:20Don't pick that up.
01:21I love that British humor.
01:27Am I right?
01:28Come on in!
01:30It's James Mullinger!
