Fringe preview: Glen Moore

Glen Moore comes to the Guildford Fringe to perform his new, wonderfully-titled show Do You Like It, How Do You Like It? William Gadsby Peet discusses the Fast & The Furious franchise and KFC

  • You’ve just finished up your first show on Absolute Radio, have you enjoyed your time there so far?

It's been amazing - I spent the first 6 years of my career being a deadly serious newsreader, and when I started doing comedy I wanted to combine the two, so this has been the first opportunity. Obviously, now that presenter Christian O'Connell has left the country like a selfish git, I'm delighted to be start on Absolute's new breakfast show.

  • Your bio on Absolute Radio says your proudest achievement is watching all of the Fast and the Furious franchise in one sitting, in a word, why?

I am both proud and ashamed. I lost a bet so me and a friend watched them in the space of 15 hours (a gruelling 13:00-04:00 shift). By the second film I was unhappy, by the fourth I was deeply upset, and by number six I was fully onboard with the franchise and I think frankly it's done only wonders for Hollywood.

  • What’s the best thing about being a stand up comedian?

You get an encyclopaedic knowledge of motorway service stations. Want a McDonald's AND a KFC? You want Beaconsfield, mate.

  • Worst experience you’ve ever had doing comedy?

Arrived too late at Beaconsfield and KFC was closed.

  • What can we look forward to from your show?

My last couple of shows have been me chatting complete nonsense and telling very long joke-filled stories that clearly aren't true. This year I've ditched that in favour of full, raw honesty, and truthful storytelling. It's about me being selected for the first civilian mission to Mars.

Glen Moore performs How Do You Like It, How Do You Like It? at the Star Inn on July 22. For more information and to book tickets (£7), visit: guildfordfringefestival.com
