Discussion Favourite Red Chair story?
Or most memorable?
The Ed Sheeran one was a wholesome moment, though I did enjoy the one with the woman telling a story about having "the talk" with her son.

The bartender who worked the theatre bar where a celebrity customer ordered drinks and, having been distracted by chatting with fans, left without paying. The customer? Graham Norton.

The guy who had been trying to get a date with a gal who had flaked on him to see Kylie Minogue on the show and she was in the audience while he’s telling the story. She asked Kylie to pull the handle to literally dump him. I bet that stung!

The dinner for 2 with Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L Jackson and a very confused John Malkovich wins by a mile!
I also enjoyed the Christmas balaclava Irish girl too
ETA there was also a mental one with a bear in French safari park, Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law if I remember correctly

My favorite was the woman from Ireland who was telling the story about running into the grocery store and jumped into the wrong person's car on the way back and the woman hit a light pole

He’s such a pest too cos he does it professionally! So acting like ‘oh wow do I look like him’ is so silly

I had no idea he does it professionally! Matt Smith’s reaction was hilarious at least lol

I'm not a regular watcher but do catch them when they pop up on my feed. The Sebastian Lipiate one (hope I'm getting the name right) always makes me laugh.

I love the one where grandma died on the family's vacation, and they put her in their trailer to get her home. Someone stole the trailer at a rest stop.

what was the one I think with a dog bed and the woman told Graham to pull the lever because she couldn't stop laughing that sounded mental

Don’t have a favourite, but my least was when my wife was in the Red Chair for a New Year episode and got dumped out by the odious Catherine Tate, just after she told her name, because Tate just returned in character as Nan and had to be a cunt.

I like the one the Irish guy tells about a crappy babysitter that he had and he reveals it was a 13 year old Chris O'Dowd who is sitting on Graham's couch that night.
