Mock the Week's Andy Parsons talks to the Comedy Cafe about being 'Gruntled', plus 30 years of Viz magazine and the comedy of Diana Dors.
Politically inspired bemusements and underpants in a jar of mayonnaise... Mock The Week's Andy Parsons talks to the Comedy Cafe about being "Gruntled" - the topic of his latest stand-up DVD.
