In 2018 Jimmy’s appearance on this show had him tortured! Russell had him stripped and stabbed with acupuncture needles and then cupped. I can either leave you to your imagination – or you can look at the video from here.

In this episode of The Russell Howard Hour Jimmy got to stay full dressed.

It was recorded 23^rd Nov 2021 (broadcast on the 25^th) and Jimmy was there to promote Before and Laughter (see here) and details of the names he wanted to use are here.

This is a REALLY good chat and I say “chat” because the 2 are mates and so it’s really relaxed. During lockdown they were papped, walking with Russell’s dog and heading for a coffee – which is mentioned here.

Also mentioned:

• Shopping for a baby gro after Jimmy’s son was born prematurely (coat hangers)
• Jimmy’s contribution to Adam Kaye book – Dear NHS (here)
• Backing vocals on Visiting Hours (here)
• Pride of Britain Awards (here)
• Being friends with Stephen Hawking (here)
• Inclusivity / equal opportunities offender
• Writing longer comedy pieces
