Today we have the honour of chauffeuring John Smith, Deaf comedy legend, to his gig in Newcastle. It's a long drive, but not to worry, we've got John to entertain us along the way.
Alongside his wonderful company and his petrol-station antics we also set him a BIG CHALLENGE. He has to perform his stand-up comedy to a hearing audience to see if it translates. Will it be alright on the night, or will he end up with egg on his face?
Last, but not least - we join John at Newcastle Deaf Club as he trials some exclusive new material. Will they love him oop North?
