Keepin It Real EP42 with Slim Danny Gray Comedian

Rudi Lickwood Keepin It Real Chat Show Ep42 with Comedian Danny Slim Gray. monday 12th April 8.30pm In 1993, Danny ‘Slim’ Gray was thrust onto the Hackney Empire stage armed only with a few gags and some dutch (and dutchie) courage. He’d never done stand-up before, he didn’t have a set – the only people he’d made laugh before were his friends and family. “It was like being thrown in the deep end. Really, right in the middle of the ocean! Curtis Walker, was putting on a show and it was a sell out. Massive audience,“ remembers Slim. “He just grabbed me in the interval and it was like: ’you’re funny – I’m putting you on after the break’. “I was pretty scared. So I had a brandy or two and a Bob Marley special out back. “I told a joke and got a laugh. But when I got my first laugh I was so happy, my mind was doing cartwheels, I was celebrating in my head. I didn’t think that I needed the next joke ready – and the laughs died down.“ “So I just told the truth, that I’d had one too many brandys, and got another laugh.“ “My mum’s very old school. You have to have a proper job. It’s taken years to convince her that I’m a comedian. It’s not until one of her friends said: ’Oh I’ve seen a poster of your boy’ or ’I saw your boy on this’ that she believes it.“ Slim spent 15 years as a bus driver. “You can’t joke with the passengers. You shouldn’t even smile,“ reveals Slim. “You’ve got to be one of those ones that just nods, then you don’t get no trouble see? If your joking around, people will try all kinds of funny stuff – there’s some secret bus driving psychology right there. I used to get told off for being too smiley!“ Slim's observations are understood by all age groups and nationalities. Well, most of the time. In 2005, Slim became the first black UK comic to play the world renowned Hollywood Comedy Store. You can feel already it's going to be a good conversation.
