If you weren’t a fan of Leeds comedy star Leigh Francis’ Bo’ Selecta! or Celebrity Juice, then quite simply, his new show My First Time Live Tour won’t be for you.
Read more: Leigh Francis opens up on the brutal way he discovered Celebity Juice axe and talks possible return There was a nice video sequence where he showed clips from his life growing up: snaps of him as an adolescent; the old janky comedy sketches he made with his friends, one of whom was actually called Keith Lemon; his time as a student at art college; then later becoming a graphic designer; eventually breaking into sketch comedy, and his wife, then girlfriend, giggling at his tomfoolery.
This works seamlessly well, and we get some great sketches satirising the like of: Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, which featured the Geordie pair inexplicably giving a cow a rectal examination; Celebrity Gogglebox, with fan favourites Giles and Mary, Jenny and Lee, and Pete and Sophie; James Cordon’s Carpool Karaoke, with Adele, and later James Brown; plus ‘Britain’s Run Out of Talent’, and many more popular television favourites.
What’s also fun is the video segments which feature famous real life non-rubber masked famous faces Will Mellor, who recently starred in Mr Bates vs The Post Office, and Britain’s Got Talent’s Amanda Holden, who to their credit, go along with Francis’ brand of infantile humour in a classy manner.
