I knew I'd seen Shayne Ward's act before...

Whoops. My two year old was watching with me. She said 'Is that Daddy?'

That is a finely crafted film. The two are clearly one and the same.

I am so glad you posted that after I have already set fire to the 50 quids worth of sparkly disappointment at the weekend.

Being hugely impressionable and a drunken tit, this would have easily inspired me to shove a Sky-Fucker Rocket up my arse just to see if I could do that too.

That man must have a hoop of steel, not only to resist the magnesium burn but also to clench hard enough to stop the pyrotechnic pushing past his ring muscled gatekeeper and spectacularly illuminating his colon.

@silverpebble: I think non-sexual, silly nudity is probably very funny to youngsters. You can't see his doodah. (Yes. Doodah)

@Chapcustard: I hope it goes without saying that there's a do-not-try-this-at-home warning applied. I worked with Chris once or twice many years ago - he really is a remarkable chap. I've been told (although not by him) that there's a leather sheath involved for protection.

I hope you didn't have to go on after him? Not only would that be a hard act to follow, but I imagine the smell of burnt arse hair would be quite overpowering.

Leather sheath, eh? How many times did he rehearse before he realised he needed one of those?

I think I compered a gig he was closing in Bury many years ago and I suspect our paths crossed in Manchester too. But no, I never had to do a set after him.

It was someone else who told me about the sheath so I have no idea if it's true or not. I was also told that he'd injured himself at some point and had to stop doing it... but someone sent me a video of him doing that finale somewhere last week so that's probably not true.
