Welcome all, this week I've been lucky enough to get Phill Jupitus, stand up, panel show contestant, DJ, podcaster and much more trapped in the Waylander101 bunker to answer a few questions
Hi Phill Thank you for taking time out to contribute to my blog.
Waylander101: To start us off, pirates of ninjas?
Phill: I'm going to go with Ninjas as they are somehow more mystical.
Waylander101: Would you like to give us a brief “Who is Phill Jupitus” for any readers who have been living in a box for the last twenty years?
Phill: TV pop quiz gimp, comedian, occasional singer
Waylander101: Just how much fun is it for you to make Stephen (Fry) squirm on QI?
Phill: It is one of the perks of the job making him uncomfortable. He's so in control all the time I like pitching flirty curve balls...
Waylander101: And while I’m asking about your TV work is Buzzcocks still fun to do?
Phill:- It most certainly is, even more so with the guest hosts. It's great to be able to work with new people all the time, and I'm a big fan of Noel.
Waylander101: Have you ever considered moving into TV/Movie acting like so many other stand-ups?
Phill: I consider it quite a bit but the phone just stares at me. I'm not very pro active about that sort of thing.
Waylander101: Or do you prefer stage roles like Edna Turnbald in Hairspray?
Phill:- That was a lot of fun because it was such an unfamiliar experience. Also it was brilliant to work with trained professional actors, singers and dancers. I'd love to do another musical.
Waylander101: Were/are the frock and falsies a bugger of great fun?
Phill: I have to say a bit of me missed the frocking up once I'd finished.
Waylander101: As a listener of The Perfect Ten from the start how much do you enjoy the freedom of podcasting over TV/radio work?
Phill: It's a very different experience from anything I've ever done before, but the editorial freedoms are very liberating. I love the fact that most subjects are fair game. It's the closest studio experience to a live stand up gig I've had, in terms of the freedom it gives you.
Waylander101: Given the inevitable zombie apocalypse what’s your plan?
Phill: Join the horde and tuck in!
Waylander101: Anything you want to plug?
Thanks for that, let yourself out when you untie the ropes; I'm just off to Waterstones.
