StephenG Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hello there my fellow zedders... Well, there's a reason I've been quiet of late - I've been very busy doing THIS - and after what seems a lifetime of editing and other assorted rubbish, my second DVD is finally out! This DVD - 'TAKEN FOR GRANTED' was filmed live at the Theatre Royal in Brighton in November 2007 and is over an hour and 20 minutes long, and contains loads of extras including lots of audience shots (I'm sure some of you will see yourself in it if you were there!) and vox pops as well. Also, there are 2 extras... STEPHEN GRANT & HIS CARS - A 15 minute biographical documentary made by Sunipa Pictures where Stephen shows off his bizarre addiction for Japanese Sports Cars in and around the Sussex Countryside (while narrowly avoiding running over a pensioner and almost getting trapped under the abandoned timber on Brighton Beach)... and WHAT'S IT LIKE TO WORK WITH STEPHEN GRANT - over 30 different comedians, radio and TV people from across the UK quite impressively putting the boot in on our Stephen with some fairly dubious and slanderous tales of debauchery and general rubbishness - starring... Jeff Green | Andy Parsons | John Moloney | Ed Petrie | Ben Hurley | Andy White | Jeff Innocent | Mike Gunn | Gordon Southern | Daliso Chapondo | Vivien Ackland-Snow | Mary Bourke | Martin Coyote | Roger Monkhouse | Rufus Hound | Kitty Flanagan | Ian Moore | Kevin McCarthy | Ian Stone | Steve Harris | Nic Ayling | Terry Alderton | Glenn Wool | Steve Gribbin | Karl Grewar | Dominic Woodward | Carl Donnelly | Simon Evans | George Egg | Gavin Webster | Gary Delaney | Howard Read | Jim Tavare | Paul Sinha | Lucy Porter | Shappi Khorsandi | Paul Chowdhry | Sean Percival | Stephen Carlin... and many more! PLUS - PREVIOUS DVD PURCHASER EXCLUSIVE!!! There is a hidden extra on this special dual layer DVD (double the size of most other comedian's DVD's) with an additional HOUR of bootleg video - and the key to unlocking this is available to all 350z-uk members if they buy their DVD online!

StephenG Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yeah, but mainly I do clubs like UTC. Don't tend to do the Creek that much recently though as it's got far too heckly and aggressive, which is a shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobD7 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hi Stephen, I'd def agree watching him live! Superb! I was at the Theatre Royal with my lady when you made the DVD so will look for us! Also watched you there the year before I think (or poss 2005). First started watching you (sounds dodgey!) at the Brighton Komedia club then you left it behind and hit the big time! In fact I have a bone to pick, I paid for my guys at work to come and see you just before Christmas at the Brighton Komedia club and you weren't there! Did book a month or so in advance but was never told you weren't coming!! To be fair your replacement was funny too so all is forgiven!

StephenG Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 Oh God - annoyingly, of all the dates in my menu, the Covent Garden one isn't in as they cancelled me by mistake Pick another date ... ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySpak Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I've been to Up the Creek a few times, not sure if your were on the nights I've been as I can never remember comedian's names (except for Lucy Porter who was the second act one night... she wasn't that funny but I enjoyed imagining doing other things with her ). I love sitting near the front, getting really drunk and heckling But to be honest, the cheesy disco they do afterwards is always the funniest part of a night in there!

RichieP Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 But to be honest, the cheesy disco they do afterwards is always the funniest part of a night in there! Its weird, it must be something common with most comedy clubs as our Jongleurs up here in Leicester does the same thing! Unfortunately I have an aversion to cheese so I usually leave pretty sharpish! You're a legend though Stephen! Will definitely see about ordering the dvd. Hope you make a few more trips up here to the midlands & hopefully I'll get to catch your act live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
