Interview: Rarely Asked Questions – John Kearns

Well this has made my day. Comedian John Kearns prints out and keeps my Rarely Asked Questions series (see answer 7). He either has the mind of a true comedy obsessive or I should be worried. Very worried. Luckily I think it's the former. Kearns is one of the brightest, most original comedy talents to have emerged in recent years, with a style that combines pathos and broad humour in one neat package.

News: Leeds Comedy Festival Line-Up Announced

The line-up has been announced for the Leeds Comedy Festival, which runs from Tuesday, May 30 to Sunday, June 11.

The festival started small in Leeds’ Cultural Quarter four years ago and has gone on to increase capacity year on year with huge and exciting names in the world of stand-up making their way to the city. This year over 50 comedians will be appearing in multiple city centre venues 

TV: Top Coppers, BBC3

It’s the old case of double trouble this week, when Mitch Rust’s evil identical twin Vince escapes from Justice City’s penitentiary and decides to steal the Mayor’s most precious football sticker.

And that, in a cotton-picking nutshell, is all you need to know about the plot. John Kearns does his own twist on the Tom Hardy-like two-pronged performance as both Rust twins. Only a tell-tale tattoo above his exquisitely filmed chubby bum crack separates them.
