I saw Andy Hamilton at Salisbury Playhouse last night. Very good.

To my knowledge he’s the only person to pick Blue is the Colour on Desert Island Discs

He made a joke about it not being worth remembering the name of Spurs managers, as they don’t last very long.

I wondered why he didn’t change that to Chelsea managers, in the light of this week’s news. He’s famous for particularly topical, news-y comedy.

Would it be too painful? He’s ‘proper Chels’.

Or would it disrupt the flow of a memorized two-hour-plus routine? Too much psychological baggage.

Or would it be a case of ‘too much things to say’? Would it have derailed the show into being all about the Blues. I’d have been interested, but I’m guessing the rest of the audience wouldn’t be.

It was an odd moment. It was for me anyway.
