About this deal

Brown, Jeremy (3 October 2016). "Just Joshin' – An Interview with Josh Widdicombe". Expose. Archived from the original on 21 October 2021 . Retrieved 4 January 2022. JW: I have struggled. We didn’t make friends through NCT [a charity that provides support for expectant parents], because we did an extreme two-day course. The friends I’ve got at the nursery gates are all mums, actually. I haven’t made any new dad friends, beyond acquaintances. Interview: Josh Widdicombe talks about his show in the Olympia, his new sitcom and Dora the Explorer". Entertainment.ie. 2015. Archived from the original on 4 January 2022 . Retrieved 4 January 2022. There's not many times over the past few years that I have actually found myself laughing out loud at a book. Maybe Romesh's Straight Outta Crawley, but this is right up there with it. The format is different to any other comedy autobiography and it allowed me a high level of nostalgia and reminiscence. I didn't ever get into TFI Friday but I can now understand what the appeal was - I just wasn't at that point in life!

Admittedly we only the one outing of Paul McGann's incarnation of the Time Lord that instantly made me a fan of the show, I felt that it could have been included in The X-Files chapter. JW: Totally. It was the main thing getting me through. And I thought that other people would get some joy out of his pain.a b "BBC Would I Lie to You: Josh Widdicombe's hilarious hidden tattoo of famous comedian's name". MyLondon. n.d.

"Josh Widdicombe interview: The Last Leg comedian on having his own BBC3 sitcom and making it to the top of UK stand-up". The Independent. Archived from the original on 17 June 2022 . Retrieved 4 January 2022. Josh Widdecombe seems like a thoroughly decent bloke and all-round ‘good egg’, so I feel slightly sheepish having to slate his book. But, unfortunately, “Watching Neighbours twice a day” is a pointless, vacuous exercise in lame nostalgia that has nothing original to say about its chosen subject of 1990s British Television. When asked what type of father Widdicombe is, he replies: "I'm weak, too eager to please, a pushover."

I love the idea of having three children who are 10, seven and four, but I don't love the idea of having three children who are seven, four and one. I want to be able to enjoy the two children I have growing up and even at the moment, I feel overstretched." Really good book would highly recommend to anyone who was born in the 80s...either side of that may still enjoy the book but not necessarily know the shows.And it's impossible to compete with someone with no sense of self-awareness. I will scream out loud in a shop just to get a laugh off the kids, where Lou just finds that embarrassing." a b "Josh Widdicombe". International Comedy Club. n.d. Archived from the original on 4 January 2022 . Retrieved 4 January 2022. Widdicombe reflects that "fatherhood has totally changed my lifestyle", adding: "I don't really want to go out any more. I've become a recluse. I conduct all of my friendships via WhatsApp on my sofa these days, I go to bed at 10pm. I've become the world's most boring man." I’m most proud of what it’s done for the Paralympic movement,” says Hills. “It’s the Games which really change perceptions. This isn’t disability sport to be patronised, it’s elite competition between athletes who’ve spent years busting their arse to get here. The Last Leg is us shining a spotlight on them. They’re the stars here.”

In 2015, Widdicombe was a contestant on the first series of the Dave game show Taskmaster and won the series. For one of the tasks, Widdicombe got a tattoo of host Greg Davies's name on his left foot. [3] He then returned for a team task in series two where he was partnered with Richard Osman and Jon Richardson. [34] [35] It reminded me of times at university watching Gladiators and Blind Date before heading to the bar on a Saturday night, and the double editions of Neighbours. In 2010, Widdicombe worked as a contributor for the Dora the Explorer magazine, [13] [14] and in 2011 he performed his debut solo show "If This Show Saves One Life..." at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and was subsequently nominated for Best Newcomer by the Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Awards [15] and for the Malcolm Hardee "Act Most Likely to Win a Million Quid" Award. [16] [17]Widdicombe is a few years younger than me so I didn't know a few of the TV programs he writes about but I had watched the majority of them.
