That’s right. Rob actually managed to get some totally improvised material from Paul Merton! Paul and his Impro Chums are back on the road and will be at Palace Theatre in Westcliff Monday 21st October and of course it comes with the obligatory promotion. What Paul may not have expected was Rob asking him to think on his feet to take part on this week’s Twitter chat concerning #10FactsAboutMe

Paul Merton with fellow Impro Chums Richard Vranch, Lee Simpson, Suki Webster and Mike McShane

A very lovely guy he was. Happy to chat to Rob for a good 10 minutes, we thought it best that you didn’t get an edited version of the chat, after all, we all want to know how normal people like Paul really are when they’re in a TV studio:

Paul is currently touring with his chums and will be playing Southend Cliffs Pavilion on 21 September. You can find out about ticket info and all the other tour dates here.
