history/q&a with alan length

What does your mum think of what you do?
She wishes it was someone else’s son doing it. A bit embarrassed but she knows its funny and it makes people laugh so she is ok with it. She has got used to it.

What the biggest crowd you have performed in front of?
3,500 people at Sexpo in Melbourne. I also did a show with my brother in Edinburgh at a comedy benefit show and there were about 2,800 people there. There is a big screen to project the tricks to the audience, it helps when there are that many people in the room.

Were you nervous?
Yeah a bit at the start but then you just get into the show, its fine after the first laugh.

Have you done shows for any famous people?
Yeah lots of people have seen it, I recently did a show for the men’s and women’s Australian basketball teams after the Commonwealth games. I felt rather small amongst them but it was fun and they all had a good laugh. There are a lot of budding dick-trickers out there. You would be surprised who has actually tried them or confessed that they can do a few.
