Only by appearing on Telly can any half indecent wannabe achieve any form of spiritual fulfilment.
Have you been on the Telly?
Thats what all the kids want to know. So here it is. Just to prove
that I am a real and genuine jester, here are a few of the television
shows I have appeared on over the years.

I have found many Television companies expecting me
to fall over myself for "Exposure."
I am happy to get "Exposure" under the right circumstances,
but people DIE of EXPOSURE!
Most TV appearences involve a donation to charity and only a couple have led to my being paid personally.
On day my break will come! One Day!
CNN
"The Return of the Jester."
CNN made this film about me in 1997. It's hilarious, portraying myself as a very poor fool indeed. If you click on the picture you can go
to their archive. If you can make the film work please let me know how. I enjoyed being filmed
by them very much, and of course CNN goes out all over the world.

GMTV
This is the first time we have ever appeared on TV with somebody so famous that even my wife
and kids knew who they were: Richard Arnold. If anybody could persuade us to get up at 4am and be ready for a beach
party at 6 in the morning it would have to be Richard Arnold.
Jamie, Andy and Myself had a ball and they even gave us breakfast. We were upstaged by a wonderful
little girl with a hula hoop.

L!VE TV
My first television appearence was on "Stand Up L!VE." Anybody
who thought they were slightly funny could appear - if they were really desperate to be on the Telly.
Well I was desperate. So in 1995 I went to Canary Wharf and performed in front of a live studio audience
of at least 6 other desperate comedians. They even gave me a tape to take home.

Sylvester the Jester from Leicester

the installation of Sylvester in his bid to cheer up the East Midlands. This short film
was shown on the regional round up early that evening.

Jamie the Fool from Poole
When Jamie was only 14 he became the youngest ever member of The National Guild of Jesters. Obviously,
the local TV crews wanted to watch this one.

Spire FM
I often contribute to many radio shows. I won't mention them all but I will thank "Spire FM" who
have supported many charitable events and supported myself as City Jester on many occassions. It is
always a privilage to contribute to them.

Richard Vobes Radio Show
I often contribute to this mad mans radio show.

I should also thank "The Salisbury Journal." And their marvellous team of photographers who have taken
some brilliant shots of me over the last few years.
