First you'll find out everything you need to know about him, then we will listen to a clip from one of his comedy shows and I will explain everything that you hear so that you can understand it to the same level as a native speaker. You'll learn plenty of slang vocab, some features of a London dialect and more vocabulary relating to the theme of education.
