So I said &#8216;what does it mean?&#8217; He said &#8216;well, my old April, April in Paris, Harris, Aristotle, Bottle, Bottle and Glass, A**e.&#8217; So I said &#8216;John that&#8217;ll never get a laugh&#8217;, he said, &#8216;yeah it will, they&#8217;ll all know it&#8217;. So there in front of an audience I said &#8216;I was so worried that my old April was pouting like a guddun&#8217; and the audience were completely silent. John Sullivan, he was up in the box, he laughed. But that was just one moment I&#8217;ve never forgotten because it did absolutely stop the show, it stopped me and I did warn him.
