Meeting David Walliams



I know this is somewhat in the past however I needed something good to start my blog with, so why not use my 'When I met David Walliams' Story.

on Sunday the 25th of February 2007, I went to Woolongong with Karen, Phil, Richie & Laura to see Little Britain Live, for the second time. I spent the car trip and many days before excited, yet wondering if it was a bit over the top going twice, especially as it wasn't a cheap experience. We arrived early and needed something to do, My thoughts were, when in Woolongong you go to the beach, so we did. After a while of running around, writing in the sand & trying to splash everyone we noticed a man walking down to the beach in a dressing gown, at first thinking it was weird and then deciding it must be the done thing in the gong we went on our business killing time. As the no longer robed man entered the water Laura asked me if it was David Walliams of Little Britain (as i was closest to him, yet not really paying attention). After a while of thinking and watching this man swimming the length of the very cold beach we decided it had to be, hes a very good swimmer and has swum the English channel amongst other things, so why not Woolongong beach? We conveniently found a place to sit between the water and his belongings (hmm can anyone say stalker?) and waited for him to swim back. As he did and got closer to us, security made its way down the beach, we had to stay back whilst he put on his robe then he came to talk to us, signed our tickets and had his photo taken with us. Hes a really nice guy and the show was just as great second time around, Defiantly worth the wonga to see it a second time!

What a devoted fan you are - and what a nice man he was to sign autographs in his bathrobe!
