Raw, real talk: A brave caller opens up on TalkSport —right there in the studio. Was a random caller while i was a guest on the Sports Bar. I'm on a mission to turn this into a regular show—a weekly space where men's emotions aren't buried, but celebrated as power. Reshaping

You lot will probably think this is a bit sad, but I’m feeling pretty emotional about this, emotional and proud. 18 Year old me wouldn’t believe it, in fact 28 year old me in 2014 wouldn’t believe it either after just being cancelled. I’m stood here outside the Woking Theatre – my home theatre – staring up at this massive screen with my big daft face plastered all over it for the show this Thursday. It feels surreal, it’s been constant struggle and graft then all of a sudden im here. This is the exact same place where I rocked up at 18, alone, to watch Lee Evans live on stage, my idol, in my eyes the best to do it. Walked out buzzing, thinking right, that’s it, that’s what I wanna do – be a stand-up comedian for the rest of my life. I didn’t think about tours, money, fame, nothing, I just wanted to be funny enough to make an audience laugh. And now after all the mad ups and downs, the massive mistakes I made that nearly ended everything, the dark times where I thought I’d never get back on stage again… here I bloody am. Full 360 moment, proper full circle. Got me choked up if I’m honest. I’m just so proud of the broken version of me that found the strength to crack on. If I can say one thing, it’s never, ever give up on your dreams no matter what life throws at ya. Keep grafting. If you’re about Thursday come down for a laugh, would means the world to sell it out!

@jokenomore You ok mate? Strange thing to hate on.. Why’s it triggered you?

@dapperlaughs Yes. We need to grow up one day. Glad the penny dropped

Im 3 years sober today, and I’m sharing my journey in this video—raw & from the heart. I want it to inspire those struggling & remind those on this journey, why we continue to struggle through it. There was a time I drank and used drugs whenever I could, thinking it was no big

Guy could you please help me make this post FLY by sharing it 🙏 This was Yesterday on @talkSPORT with the legend @RealRazor — had to drag him along cos I know NOTHING about football! 😂 This is all for something very real — the Men And Their Emotions (MATE) charity celebrity football match at Swindon Town’s County Ground on Sunday 3rd May 2026. We’re raising funds for men’s mental health in honour of local lad Steven Bailey, who tragically took his own life earlier last year. Proceeds going straight to our M.A.T.E charity — that massive online Facebook community of around 64,000 blokes where lads can talk anonymously, share what they’re going through, and get proper support and counselling. No judgement, just real help when you need it most. This means the world to me, we’ve lost too many good lads that were just lost, if we can get more talking and supporting each other, doing counciling it’s worth every kick of the ball. It’s gonna be a cracking family fun day out — celebs vs ex-pros, loads of laughs, and hopefully some decent footy (from the pros lol) This is who we’ve more or less confirmed already (still a few spots left, so if you’ve got ideas for people, tag ’em below and if anyone can help support the event, hit us up!): Celebs Danny Dyer, Olly Murs (just watching) , Cole Anderson, Mashtag, Tom Zanetti, Matt Lapinskas, Harrison Elliott, Joe Cordina, Ryan Garner, Gaz Beadle, Daryl Robinson, Sonny Green, MC Harvey… Ex-pros/Legends: Danny Simpson, Leroy Lita, Leon Britton, Derek Asamoah, Chris Dickson, Jamie O’Hara, Razor Ruddock, Martin Offiah, Courtney Massey, Kevin Betsy, Dean Morgan… And more to be announced soon! If you fancy watching me huff and puff trying to keep up with Danny Dyer and the rest of these boys while Razor probably just stands there laughing his head off, come down — tickets in my bio/link below. It’s gonna be epic, emotional, and a proper laugh. Get involved, support the cause, and let’s look out for each other. ❤️ Search: mate charity football match See you there 💚💪⚽ #MATECharity #MensMentalHealth #CelebrityFooty

@RealRazor @talkSPORT Ha ha just seen this

2.15pm @talkSPORT with @dapperlaughs 👌🏻 #Charity #Football

@Realitycheck218 @FI_Geordie People look at the subject matter not who the joke is aimed at. But he may be going through it over there so its fair enough. Hopefully win him back on another video lol

@dapperlaughs @FI_Geordie Maybe he's not seen the videos of them, of the Instagram influencer wankers... so scared they put lippy on and their best glitzy outfit to show their followers how scary it all is. Probs promoting sumink meanwhile

Join me, a lifestyle influencer in Dubai while it’s under attack from Iran!

@jrcefc91 Na I’ll delete it. Back to the drawing board.

@dapperlaughs Really funny that mate. Do another one

@bass4themasses 277. It’s fairly shit. But in order for it to leave my head I have to show it to you cunts.

@dapperlaughs 430k followers and only 200 likes?

@FrankEarnest23 When we are doing the show, we prefer to do the show, but if we reach out and speak to the audience, it’s okay. Ultimately, not really, it ruins the flow of the jokes that we’ve prepared to deliver.

@dapperlaughs Do comedians like hecklers or do they think they help with the show as the comedians at Edinburgh Fringe do not like them.

Heckler picks the worst moment for a "your mum" joke EVER. Happy Mothers Day.

@BarryCement86 😂😂😂 its called performing under high powerd spot lights. Dont worry about me brother im still on the straight and narrow mate. All I need to get me on stages and audience . X Thanks for reaching out though .

@ChirpyChet Nothing specific then?

@dapperlaughs Why do you pay to ask silly questions?

I think this is a matter for the Police. This is neither entertaining nor funny as the poster might want to claim. The little made with AI label should not be a get out clause. This is incitement to violence, and video also signals appalling judgement.

@russhero86 Ha ha both are guarenteed mate!

@dapperlaughs at Chelmsford civic this Saturday, going to be brilliant. Queenies last year for my mates stag do was quality. Expecting the same level of banter and the northern impression of the wife 😂😂

£40,000 as a deterrent 😂 If the home secretary was in charge of parking tickets 👇🏻

@johnmvaughan @scxcb I think we’ll be fine none of it criticises Dubai at all 😂

@scxcb @dapperlaughs Exactly it wasn't about the influencers as you've not personally attacked any of them. Although if you did personally attack one with residential status you could be in trouble if you went to Dubia. If you don't plan on going Dubia again fuck em and create more videos ha

@johnmvaughan Influencers run the police service now?

@dapperlaughs I wouldn't go Dubai after this you could get arrested just as an FYI.

@FI_Geordie I’ve really fucked up taking the piss out of influencers that are milking a pretty serious situation 🤯😂 Ok. I had no idea people held influencers in such high regard.

@dapperlaughs Bad craic this, followed you for ages and think your a top had for all the men’s depression / emotions projects you do but you’ve really fucked it with this one.

@seamasterdxb Na, it’s not really funny that. At all.

@dapperlaughs Hahahaha really good one mate. Can you do a skit on how your children get raped by illegal immigrants and then you get stabbed in central London and have to wait for 12 hours surrounded by more immigrants to see a doctor in the NHS and then pay 50% of your salary for it all?

@JoshhhhJD @CraigySmiffy My guy lol nicely done

@dapperlaughs @CraigySmiffy Whilst I’ve got you, let me know what you think of my stuff, happy to open for you 😉

@JoshhhhJD @CraigySmiffy lol 😂 🤦🏻‍♂️

@dapperlaughs @CraigySmiffy Why can people never see the clear fucking irony in a comedians content ffs. Softer than ice cream in Miami
