W: I’m backstage at the Birmingham Hippodrome with the comedian Brian Conley. Hello Brian.
M: Hello.
W: Birmingham’s done well for you over the years, hasn’t it?
M: (22) It certainly has. I love this theatre. I’ve got some great memories here.
W: So where did it all begin,this comedy career? When was your first time on stage?
M: The first time I was on stage was when I was two. I was at this holiday camp and my mum and dad lost me in the dance hall. Then they heard people laughing and saw me up on stage making a fool of myself. That was it after that. I was totally obsessed. (23) But what has also driven me is the fact that I found it difficult to keep up at school,because my writing was bad,so I naturally became the class clown,the school joker. But I was always a good singer,and singing was always my first love. Comedy came later.
W: And you still do comedy now.
M: Yeah, I do. (24) There’s a big demand for it these days, but a lot of famous comedians can’t do it. I’ve learnt how to handle it over the years,and I’ve got an answer for every situation now. I had to fall into it really. It pays the mortgage.
W: And do you still get nerves?
M: (25) A guy once said to me that it doesn’t get any easier. I dismissed that. I used to reckon that as I got older and more experienced I’d be more relaxed and I wouldn’t get so nervous. But I realize that he was right. I want to do well,and that affects how you feel before the performance.
W: Brain,thank you very much.
