  • This clip features the comedian Stewart Francis from the show For One Night Only.
    After the creative success of Saturday Live Again, broadcast in December 2007, ITV decided to commit to more comedy and music on ITV1 for 2008. The result was a co-production with ITV Productions called For One Night Only, a huge-scale variety music and comedy spectacular. Each week the show had a different pair of co-hosts - Vernon Kay and Joan Rivers anyone? - and just to make things more exciting, the series went out live (although the third one had a scheduling tussle with X Factor and had to transmit a little later). The show featured huge mainstream pop stars - Pink, Rihanna, Will Young, Pussycat Dolls, Tom Jones, Michael Bublé- all bumping shoulders in the narrow corridors at Fountain Studios with stand-ups like Milton Jones, Will Smith, Stephen K Amos and Mark Watson and a bunch of Chinese acrobats or a German wheel dancer or whichever crazy variety act had been booked that week....

    If you want a joke with an innuendo, Stewart Francis will give you one.

      Know what would make for some nice contrast, though? There's the one about the housekeeper, the window washer, and the pool man. It's a good, clean joke.
      That all changed when someone optioned the movie rights. The workmen wore showy work clothes, but they put the housekeeper in one of those French maid costumes...

    I like that some of these gags he was doing back in the 90s, but he keeps them in and then builds on them, adding new bits to them and refining them over the years, so when you think you've heard it before, he comes out with something unexpected and new, but still familiar.

    How do you remember all of them, and remember that you already said it so you don’t actually repeat yourself?! I actually saw Gary Delaney (whom I greatly respect as well) and he did repeat himself once in the same set and the audience just laughed for him again and it was delightful.

    The one change I'd suggest for this act? Make the abandoned-by-dad jokes about having to go home on foot instead of swimming. A boy learns to run just to save time.
