Tom SalinskyHOST
Tommy Cooper.
Tim BentinckGUEST
Tommy Cooper.
Tim BentinckGUEST
Tommy Cooper.
Tim BentinckGUEST
I mean, the people who can walk on stage and not say anything and get a big laugh, you know, that is that's the magic of it.
Tim BentinckGUEST
I mean, now recently, I think Michael McIntyre is probably the most skillful and clever and funny comedian.
Chris OakleyGUEST
I don't recall him discussing the goons or talking about it, but he used to occasionally break into a sort of Cod Eccles voice, you know, but then like my uncle Les used to do that.
Chris OakleyGUEST
And I think for that generation, that was the equivalent of my generation doing a Frank Spencer impersonation or a Tommy Cooper or something like that.
Chris OakleyGUEST
My
Tyler AdamsHOST
dad did kind of as well.
Demi LardnerHOST
It's
Tom WalkerHOST
like if when Tommy Cooper died on stage doing stand-up, his ghost kept doing the routine.
Tom WalkerHOST
It did.
Tom WalkerHOST
Trying to get the tension back on it.
Matthew CrosbyHOST
Gerbeau.
Matthew CrosbyHOST
It's bad news, isn't it? Not one person there wants to see a brain doing a Tommy Cooper routine.
Matthew CrosbyHOST

Josh WiddicombeHOST
One of the early arrivals is Big Brother star, nasty Nick Bateman, who's just become famous from Series 1 of Big Brother.
Dom JollyAUDIENCE
Yeah, but that would be, you could
James O'BrienHOST
have a Tommy Cooper.
James O'BrienHOST
live experience with a hologram, if they'd filmed enough, if he was still with, or a comedian.
James O'BrienHOST
So it would be a different thing.
Dom JollyAUDIENCE
You could
James O'BrienHOST
have a Tommy Cooper.
James O'BrienHOST
live experience with a hologram if they'd filmed enough if he was still with or a comedian who it so it would be a different thing it's a simulacrum if that's the correct word to use it's not that's right it's not it's not the same what is it because we're talking about a sort of quiddity an essence of humankind that can only be conveyed by humans and every time i hear people say things like this i i kind of silently add the word yet we can't do it we can't imagine it yet
Dom JollyAUDIENCE
But I think it's the difference between, well, I suppose this is what freaks me out, between sort of pure originality.
AJ BenzaHOST
And let me jump into one of them.
AJ BenzaHOST
A comedian named Tommy Cooper, many of you don't know who he is, but he died of a heart attack on stage.
AJ BenzaHOST
Everybody was laughing at him.
AJ BenzaHOST
Because as he died, they thought it was part of his show.
Nick BianchiHOST
He's a comedian.
Nick BianchiHOST
He was hosting the show when Tommy Cooper died.
Nick BianchiHOST
Now, Tommy Cooper is a...
Nick BianchiHOST
People younger might not know, but Tommy Cooper was a legend.
Nick BianchiHOST
Do you know what I mean? Absolute legend.
Nick BianchiHOST
He died on stage, you know, at the Palladium, and he was hosting it.
Josh WiddicombeHOST

Matthew CrosbyGUEST

Josh WiddicombeHOST

Mike McCleanGUEST
[laughs] I was terrible.
Simon HoodHOST
Tommy Cooper level.
Mike McCleanGUEST
Um, I remember once I did a, a club in, in Manchester.
Mike McCleanGUEST
My dad came with me, and I used to do this trick where I'd put a woman's head in the guillotine-
Mike McCleanGUEST
And I was like, "That went wrong.
Mike McCleanGUEST

Simon HoodHOST

Mike McCleanGUEST
