Stephen K Amos almost has a rest
The Stephen K Amos Show started last Friday on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Two. We've been chatting to Stephen all year, and we wanted to share with you how he felt after finishing recording the show this summer - it's quite an undertaking, a six part comedy series!

It seems a distant memory arriving at the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ to set up the office, which has now become like a second home to me. Except there are no bedrooms and I'm not sure if security would take kindly to me kipping in the canteen all night. Now I know what they mean when they say a production team is like a family. On second thoughts, if it was like my family there'd have been more tears, tantrums and stony silences - okay, there was that one day when we ran out of Jaffa Cakes...
We've been locked in writers' rooms for days on end - living on a diet of tea, jammy dodgers and more tea. But now, having completed six shows, material for online and Red Button, we finally await the final edit. Then, it's all over. Phew! After all this I need a holiday.
I suggested that to my agent and she said sure I should have a holiday - how about a nice month in Scotland? I thought "Great, I'll go!"... then I realised that it coincides with the Edinburgh Fringe. So now I'm booked in for a four-week stint at the Pleasance Grand. No holiday for me then! The plus side is that I am still on a bit of a high following the recording of my own TV show, so I should be full of funny bones.
Meanwhile, it's a bit sad as they dismantle the beautiful set I've had built. I'm going to get hold of the chaise longue that's been my set dressing for the last six weeks. What can I say? I'm a sucker for class. So that'll be my keepsake - don't know where one'll put it! But I will take it, because my mum has her eye on it too.
Here's Stephen's chaise lounge in action in a web-exclusive sketch:

If I had to decide what's been the best thing about the last few months there's only one answer - my incredible team. We have had a laugh, we have worked hard, we have been tired, I won't get a holiday but I wouldn't change anything for the world.
The Stephen K Amos show continues on Fridays at 10pm on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Two. Read more from Stephen on the Comedy Blog.
