Penn and Teller
(Teller is four inches taller than me)
Joe (from Misdirection's magic shop)

Being a huge Teller fan, seeing him live was cooler than meeting kings, queens or presidents.

Currently Reading "House of Mystery" (Abbott, Teller), Tarbell, Everything I can on busking

I met Ken Livingstone at the rose giving ceremony.

I met Nancy Cartwright at a picture signing (I waited in a line that went round two blocks, I'm not kidding)

and I've met a few people through my dad;

Jerry Sadowitz both on and off stage.

I met Bill Bailey backstage at the 100 club.

Used to meet Bodger and Badger all the time when I was a kid.

And I have met Neil Innis both on and off stage.

And Arthur Smith is my brothers godfather (though some might dispute his celebrity status I'm sure there's someone out there who's jealous of that fact)

I've met Derren brown in a dream once. It was great, he ended up talking to me and ignoring everyone else because they didn't 'get him' like I did.

I'm going to see him soon I think I'll tell him about my dream and show him the tattoo of his face I had done on my chest. He's sure too make friends with me then.

Invoke not reason. In the end it is too small a deity.

I urinated next to Dominik Diamond, had to resist any joystick jokes.

Wasworking on my birthday a few years ago when I saw Billy Boyd enter the restaurant next door so I pestered my boss to go in and have him write me a birthday card (I'm quite the LOTR geek). Ahhh emotional blackmail is good.

Had the pleasure of shooting down former Tory leader Ian Duncan Smith when he was encouraging a member of his party to have a glass of wine although he was driving.

And I served dinner to Martina Navratilova, strangely attractive lady.

Recently shared a cell with boxer Scott Harrison.

Other random restaurant customers include:

Mark Hateley
Dion Dublin
Roy Keane
Steven Gerrard
Carol Smilie
and Ian Brown of Stone Roses fame.

Out shopping in Glasgow with my girlfriend and wearing my new and unusual 'retro style' jacket... Coming in the other direction was Billy Boyd with his girlfriend (who didn't look a million miles different to mine) and wearing the exact same jacket. We just eyed each other suspiciously as we slowly passed by before bursting out laughing..

Years ago I was sitting in the office at work with my mate playing the 'how many egg and cress sandwiches can you fit in your mouth at the one time' game. There was a knock at the door and Mel Gibson stuck his head round to ask a question about camera tracks...... With our cheeks bulging with egg n cress, we couldn't even reply... although I did manage to squirt a thin jet of egg across the table and down my top. Mr Gibson left....
