Charlie Higson: 30 Years Of The Fast Show, Ageing & The Raw Fish That Saved His Life

Charlie Higson is an English actor, comedian, and author. He is known best for writing, producing, and starring in The Fast Show alongside Paul Whitehouse, as well as writing The Young Bond series which has sold over a million copies. His new book (Willie Willie Harry Stee) sends us through 1000 years of British history.

Charlie joined leading men’s health specialist Dr Jeff Foster in the Man Alive studio and we revealed his blood test results live on the show to him.

So what are the secrets to being both creative and healthy?

In this episode, we learn the wild story of how Charlie cured his Crohn’s Disease, the suspected medical issues of Charlie’s Fast Show characters, the intensity of filming a television series, Charlie’s reflections on ageing, how Charlie has adapted touring to fit with ageing, Charlie’s relationship with diet and alcohol, and much more…
