Ten Questions with Phill Jupitus

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?

Phill: Never Mind The Buzzcocks starts October 21st, 'Good Morning Nantwich - Adventures In Breakfast Radio'  is in all good and bad bookshops from Harper Collins.

Thanks for that, let yourself out when you untie the ropes; I'm just off to Waterstones.
