I had never heard of him but after YouTube bursting at the seams with commentary on his apology video, I took a look and had to do a parody of it.

Piers Morgan on Fox News
Piers Morgan professed to the unfairness of those judging him to be racist for his relentless criticism of Meghan Markle. He chose to air his grievences on the most right wing news station in America, the laughable Fox News. Actually, I have met Piers Morgan on Britains Got Talent and in the green room at This Morning and he was really friendly. Unlike Simon Cowell who’s pantomime villain persona is not pleasent to be on the other side of.
Been having fun making some parody videos of late and enjoyed doing this one of Piers and Tucker Carlson. I know little about him but he sure looks angry.
Harry, Megan, Oprah Interview Spoof
I had great fun making this over the last two days. I spent about 20 hours writing, filming and editing this 3 daft mins video. It was great fun though. I had a lot of laughs making it.
Parties Starting Soon?!
I know I am a fool! But I am getting quietly optimistic that we could be back at parties soon. I do hope so because it’s how I make a living! Rishi Sunak’s grants for self employed have ticked me along; I’ve ended up earning about 1/3 my usual income in the last year and obviously my diary for the year ahead is empty.
I have been volunteering recently at a vaccination centre in London and just WOW! It’s run brilliantly and the lovely other volunteers I work with make it a pleaure to be standing in a freezing car park directing cars and pointing people to the right path. I’m pretty star struck at the tea making zone to rub shoulders with the awesome NHS staff. What a time it has been for them it has been and how amazing they are.
I do not know what will happen in coming months and have really become numb to the good and bad news, but I need to be ready to go and up for a party because turning up full of enegy with a big smile on my face is what I am paid for. So I am working hard learning new magic tricks, writing jokes and getting fit. And boy has the last year given me material to write about!
For now, it’s not party time, so keep wearing your mask. Follow the guidelines and get a vaccine as soon as you are offered one! I’ve had my first dose and looking forward to the second one.
What do you think? When will you be having parties again?
Oh, PS I made a new showreel video of what I do. It’s pretty crazy and good fun.
The Great British Bake Off – My Tribute
I had great fun making this one. I had seen bits and pieces of TGBBO with my wife as she loves but I wasn’t really into it but had an idea to do a video about it and I got really into the show. I think the dynamics of it; the music the bright backdrop and the range of characters are brilliantly done. I also think there’s an awkward chemistry between that the cast that is actually really fun. Embrace awkwardness! It’s hilarious.

Upside down fun!
I love fitness and I love fitness gadgets and daft toys. Saw a cheap pair of these on eBay and had to have a go. I nearly gave myself a hernia laughing when editing it today.
YouTube is my full time job now. If you could subscribe and share that would help me a lot. Thank you! Ritchie
Keep the faith! Keep smiling! 2021 will be much better folks.
My RIDICULOUS glasses collection
Always loved daft props and costumes and particularly funny glasses. I have so many pairs! It’s funny how some get big laughs from kids and adults and some don’t really amuse. What are your favourite pair?
Harry Potter fan art
I received a lovely drawing in the post this week from a super artist named Pol Peiró Navarro from Barcelona. Check him out on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/polpeiro
I had a brilliant time acting in the movie Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire. I had small speaking part as the Death Eater Avery. I spent 6 great weeks on the set. Sadly my part was taken out as a lot of parts are in such a big movie.
Should I make a longer video with the story? Comment below!
Bar Flairing
When I first met Brendan Rodrigues, I was still putting my legs behind my head for a living as a cabaret contortionist and Brendan was throwing bottles around. He was beginning to get really hot as a magician and over the next year the bar work fizzled away as his diary started bursting full with magic bookings.
Over the lockdown I knew Brendan was in the park practiving his old bar flair juggling skills mainly to keep fit and so I asked if he could give me a masterclass.
It was crazy fun. Check out the video. New funny videos every Wednesday.
We sat down for an interview on the same day.
Check out Brendan’s brilliant YouTube channel. Subscribe. He does great videos every week.
What’s in your magic case?!
It’s what all the kids want to know and all the magicians too. Who isn’t curious about all the nonsense that goes into a magicians case. I love the grand magic shows with immense sets behind curtains but there’s something special about the magician who walks into to any kind of room with a suitcase of nonsense, plonks it on a table and has a room full of people amazed and maybe laughing.
I love doing shows for kids. They have a great sense of wonder and a brilliant sense for comedy and daftness. But if your room is half full of adults which it usually is in British birthday parties, then why not try to entertain the whole room?
This video was enjoyable for me as I spent a great time going through not just my dusty props (from months of having no gigs thanks to Covid) but through so many photos and videos of my performances and even me playing around at home and with friends where a lot of tricks can get shaped and played with.
