Famous Last Words Q&A

As comedian Dane Baptiste sets out on his ‘G.O.D.’ UK stand-up tour, he offers us his ‘Famous Last Words’…

Last thing you did that made you feel good?
Took an Ibroprufen. The lesson here is to not mix spirits and stay hydrated.

Last thing you’d want to be doing right now?
Working in the job I was doing before I started comedy. I was one appraisal away from poisoning the watercooler.

Last night on Earth… What’s your poison?
Mary Jane and Jack Daniels.

Last supper… What are you ordering?
Mum’s Sunday dinner or Black Cod with miso sauce.

Dane Baptiste’s ‘G.O.D.’ tour has three dates in Yorkshire

Last person you’d want to share a drink with?
Richard Spencer, leader of the alt-right party. Because it would inevitably end with a Glasgow kiss and I don’t want to break people’s things.

Last time you shed a tear and why?
Probably over something soppy about a refugee finding their parents. Because I’m a frikking marshmallow.

Last refuge… where would you go?
I can’t tell you that; then ‘they’ would just come to you for information about my whereabouts.

Last the course… tips on loot, love & life?
Live, love, and get money. But spend it on the aforementioned more than anything else.

Last but one… random question: Tell us about something that interests you that nobody else knows about. Like Gaelic football… or porcelain.
I love watching Food Network. Diners, Drive-ins and Dives is my show!

Your Famous Last Words?
I did it my way; in a way that wouldn’t make my mother shout at me.

Dane Baptiste’s ‘G.O.D.’ tour comes to: York Basement 20 January; Leeds Warehouse 1 March; Sheffield Leadmill 5 April.
