Not especially funny thing that made me chuckle today

Richard Herring talking about a DVD recording for his show ‘headmasters son’:

“In the last DVD, due to an accident in editing, there is a point where it cuts from me on stage to an audience shot, where you see me sitting there, chuckling at my own wit.

I had been in the audience for Tony Law’s show that was recorded the same night as mine, and the editor had needed a reaction shot and just coincidentally chosen one with me in it, without realising. It’s quite a spooky coincidence, especially given the fact that (I believe) I am talking about the concept of all the other potential mes that there might have been if a different sperm had made it to the egg first.

Just before we went on Chris from GFS and me were talking about this and I came up with the idea of now deliberately putting a shot of me laughing at myself in every DVD I record, so one of the first things we did was record me, sitting next to the 16 year old Welsh boy in the front row, laughing like whatever I’d just said was the funniest thing ever.”

I love stuff like that
