The Godfather of British stand-up comedy on stage exploring the trials of modern life and the tales of his much loved cat Edward.

In this moment of self reflection, John looks back on the beginning of his comedy career.

How did such a handsome grammar school boy find his way into the dark and foreboding world of stand-up?

Did his family have a influence on his decision? What did his qualifications actually qualify him to do?

John dissects the advice of the Employment Service in London's Balham and justifies the particular terms and conditions of any future engagement he was willing to accept - lots of travel, the freedom to insult his clients and a maximum of twenty minutes work per night.

Written by and starring John Moloney.
