Sam Fletcher Talks

Music

Edinburgh Comedy Newcomer Award winner 2012 and BBC 3 sketch show For the Win star Sam Fletcher has a quick little catch up with our Holly ahead of this weekend's Knock2Bag.

Your shows involve drawings and a spot of magic. What is your favourite thing to draw?

I've recently got into drawing faces on paper coffee cups that people leave behind everywhere. I have the romantic hope that someone will spot them and keep them, but probably they either ignore it or think I'm a total dick.

Knock2Bag this week is in East London. As a Londoner, what's your favourite East London spot?

As I was born in north west London, I never really found myself in the east often. However, they have much better Underground station names. Wapping and Mudchute spring to mind.

Best magic trick you can do?

I once correctly guessed a number someone was thinking of – but had no idea how I did it. Scared the shit out of myself.

Do you have any other songs about items of clothing other than shoes? Perhaps sock song?

The concept does have legs I suppose…

I'm thinking of doing a song at the moment all about how I eat crisps. The thing is I eat them the same as everyone else so it may be a pretty short and predictable.

What other inventions do you have besides the T-shirt that combs your hair? I have plenty. Maybe too many to be honest. Currently working on the recipe for Pestonaise – which is a combination of mayonnaise and pesto. Great name, but tastes absolutely disgusting.

Do you have any pre-show rituals?

Wee-wee's and a dance.

Tell us a knock knock joke.

Knock knock

Who's there?

It's me, I forgot my keys again. I love you.

Have you been drinking again who?

…yes…
