With his dishevelled appearance and wild energy, you might not be surprised to learn that the wonderfully funny Bobby Mair has had "more therapists than girlfriends". We talk about his Canadian comedy work ethic, the trick of making the audience your friend, and find out why bad gigs in the UK are still good. We delve into his origins, starting comedy coincidentally during a traumatic and grief-stricken phase in his life; find out what a relief it was after 16 years to write an observational joke that didn't derive from trauma; and discover why comedy didn't save Bobby's life.
