Siobhan Rhodes & United Agents – Festival Highlights
In 3 years on the circuit, Brian, has written 14 jokes. He’s run them past his wife, Cheryl. She said they had ‘disappointing punchlines.’ He gave himself 5 years to reach the London Palladium (because he’s a man who likes a game plan). Unfortunately, Brian is now somewhat behind schedule.
