Ellis says that on mixed bills people turn up to watch comedy, not a comedian, so you need a set that appeals to everyone. Once podcast audiences know you, you write more about yourself, and at St Albans only about 20% knew him while 80% wondered why he talked about a swimming instructor.

When riffing fails, a compere needs backup material. Ellis says that on the circuit he had four hours of stand-up from four Edinburgh shows as a safety net, so he could pull the riff ripcord and do an anecdote. At St Albans he had used up his 20 to 25 minutes and had nothing left.

John stands by the principle that paying around 80 quid for a new sensor beats taking out a warranty, even after three warning lights came on in his Kia when the ABS sensors failed. He keeps his car until it breaks down, avoiding the depreciation of buying new cars.

No. The hosts read that you cannot use urea from wee instead of AdBlue, because human urine lacks the correct concentration of urea, and urine will trigger vehicle sensor errors. It became the official Ellis James and John Robbins show position: don't wee in your car.

John did a restrictive diet, then reintroduced foods to find triggers, learning that histamine in food and spice cause flares, including jalapenos, pickled, fermented and aged foods, tomatoes and aged cheese. He can now take a supplement before eating and an antihistamine, which he calls a game changer.

Musicians who played in Van Morrison's band since the 90s get together with guest singers and play all the hits, which Van doesn't do. John found it more enjoyable than a Van Morrison gig, with a slight cruise ship feel, and Van has said he is glad they're doing it.

All My Friends comes to Brighton Dome on the 17th of October for a special Ellis, John and Dave Dancing With Dave, an indie pop dance event running roughly three till eight. Tickets went on general release on Friday the 31st of July from ellisonjohn.com, with standing or circle seats.

A picture editor says press photographers are creatures of habit: walk across Millennium Bridge in wind or rain with a Union Jack umbrella, look up at the Bank of England on rate days, look confused at Paddington Station during a train strike, or be first in the sea near Brighton Pier in a heatwave.

Web designer Zach says that if the person is in a public space, the photo can be published as long as the context is not specifically about that individual. A heatwave picture of a man with a fan is fine for a heatwave story, but not for a story about him without consent.
