[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

I still remember the improvisation for Steve's swimming pool attendant, which was a piece of genius and everyone loves it. But the actual improvisation was about half an hour long, and it was a thing that Samuel Beckett would have said, "I wish I could have written it." It was, to me, the most sublime piece of comedy I have ever witnessed. And there were only a handful of us witnessing it. What you've got in the show – "In 1984, no one died," it's edited down. He actually did every single year, about 23 years, without stopping, without blinking, so that it became incredibly unfunny, and then absolutely brilliant. And to have been part of that, I feel sorry that it's not been out there in the public domain, but I feel very privileged to have been in that room, pissing myself laughing at something that only seven people saw.

ARGH that sounds amazing

Oh heavens, that's... phew. What a find!
