Word Down Your Way: Danny Baker with a taste of his thunderous one-man stand-up circus, back on the road in 2023

Danny’s done two hysterically funny, cartwheeling canters round the UK in the last few years and sets out again in February for 49 nights with ‘At Last …The Sausage Sandwich Tour’, another ‘panjandrum of unstoppable anecdote’. His memories of old rock and roll and theatre shows are high in the mix in this crackling exchange. Among the highlights …

… Anita Harris at the ABC in Yarmouth.

… appearing with the Millwall squad and Jimmy Tarbuck singing ‘New York New York’ in top hat and tails.

… the joy of Keef Hartley’s Half-Breed.

… arriving to see Frank Zappa to discover he’d been thrown offstage in the afternoon show “but Cochise were still appearing!”

… his dad Spud’s amateur doctor who did a good sideline in racing tips.

… why selling his 14,000 albums is like being “unchained from a lunatic”.

… Black Sabbath playing ‘unplugged’ in a powercut at the Albert Hall.

… and an honorary mention of the pith helmet full of saveloys.
