00:03before but what words come to mind when you think about tonight and this stage
00:07in your career right now?
00:08I mean like nerve-wracking is the nerve that come
00:11word that comes to mind most I guess you know it's a it's a quite an
00:16intimidating night but also like a very exciting night and yeah and I'm just
00:20very you know honored to be here with Jonathan and Lindsay and for our show it
00:25feels like a really special way to we with the rope we finished our run in
00:27like three weeks so it's like it's a really special way to end it yeah I will
00:31be I will be bereft to say goodbye when the time comes but we're not there yet
00:36and I'm living in denial until we are.
00:38I quickly want to say I know there are video of you going
00:40around on social media kind of getting into your American accent and kind of
00:43staying into it all day is it easy for you to get in and out of it or do you
00:47have to prepare a little bit oh my god do it you've had a long press I just
00:52stay in the accent the whole time when I'm in the theater it's actually weird I
00:57go into it now almost a lot of time when I see Jonathan and Lindsay because I'm
01:00so used to doing it around them I find when I if I'm going back and forth
01:04between my own accent and American there are little sounds that it just they crop
01:10up and they're not quite as good in the American accent so but if I stay in the
01:14accent the whole time they tend to kind of get ironed out so yeah very quickly
01:18anyone here tonight that you really want to collaborate with next oh my god I
01:22mean yes Will Butler but I don't know what a collaboration would be I don't I
01:27don't do music really other than this show I know I just want to keep
