The first time I went which was 1999, we likened it a 1,200 strong BNP meeting, the majority smoking and almost all pissed up.
Fitzmaurice actually told the London gag as we were setting up a radio interview for SCR, but the recorder wasnt switched on at that time.
Facing the sack after telling a couple of racist gags on stage and not realising he was being filmed. Long overdue in my book in my time at SCR probably one of the nastiest people I ever met and interviewed.
