My mum always tells me to go for a funny guy rather than a hot rockstar, so it was just my luck when new comedian on the block, Russell Kane stumbled into my inbox asking for a chat.
Whilst we didn’t quite get around to the dating stage - well he is pretty busy touring with his self-penned play “Fakespeare,” so I understand he’s a bit busy - I did manage to sneak in the 15 Questions We Ask Everyone
Hello there little monster, what are you up to?
Two tours at the same time... I’m a tired little monster; my claws are blunt from the tip-tapping on all the different stages
So, tell me a bit about what you’re here to promote?
I’m here to promote J20’s new flavour of pub quiz! J20 have taken all the most popular quiz rounds that you know and love and mashed them together to make a whole new flavour of quiz.
Pub landlords around the country are already taking on the new J20 Pub Quiz so log onto the J20 facebook page for more details on where to play.
And if we didn’t have any clue as to who you were, what should we be looking up on Google?

And as Jacko had the Moonwalk and Elvis had the snake hips, what do you have that makes you unique?
The Pigeon chest
Now, clearly we need to get to know each other more, so tell me an interesting fact about you that noone else knows?
I’ve got a frog tattoo just above the love station
What song do you wish you’d written?
Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. It runs the full gamut of human emotions, from love to sensuousness and in the final movement utter madness (that deaf German was well clever)
If I was contemplating coming to your show or sitting at home and TV, how would you convince me to come out?
You’d love my stand-up but even better come and see my play, set in Essex but in Shakespearean style verse. There’s a character called Donna that does a soliloquy about Burger King.
And if you were to take me on a trip to your hometown, what would be the first place we’d go?
Mayhem nightclub on a Monday in Southend. I’ll buy you a sambuca for a £1 and dance you into a pelvic fracture.
What’s the best prank you’ve ever pulled on someone?
This is really cruel- I phoned my mum from my mobile but put on a fake voice and said “whose phone is this, we found it in the wreckage”. My mum burst out crying.
And what’s the most daring thing you’ve ever done? Please tell us how it ended up!
Getting up on stage and doing stand-up. I used to have panic attacks so the most daring thing I’ve done is eating a whole box of Imodium and attempting stand-up comedy.
If you had to date a member of the same sex (or opposite sex if the case may be) who would it be? Mine would ALWAYS be Angelina Jolie.
Zac Efron
Have you ever been naked in public? Elaborate.
Yes and no
Have you ever been arrested? Again, elaborate.
My electronic tag comes off in the summer.
Speaking of prison - if you were to send someone to prison for crimes against music, who would it be?
AQUA
What were you doing last night at 11?
Awarding prizes to the victorious team for the J2O pub quiz.
