Richard has an article about the Eccentric Oxford Walking Tours on UK comedy website Chortle
However, there is a stronger limitation capping my material: the requirement to only tell the truth – quite a restriction for any stand-up. Frequently stand-ups punctuate their set-ups with liberal sprinklings of “and this is absolutely true…”, thus inadvertently signalling to the comedy literate that the opposite may be more likely. Although I can deliver inventive jokes, these can only follow dispensed historical truths. While everyone knows they are aboard for a comedy ride, audiences wouldn’t expect me to skimp on the proper history.
