Phil Rosen from West Bridgford in Nottinghamshire has over a hundred valve radios. They’re beautiful pieces of furniture and have lovely rich tones you just don’t get with modern radios.

Here’s my interview with fashion designer Paul Smith.
Paul fell into fashion by accident, when he was knocked off his bicycle.
During his long recovery he befriended some fashion students, fell in love with their teacher and with fashion itself.
He’s never looked back. I love his shoes and always wear them to give me added confidence when I speak at big events. (Luckily he’s the same size as me!)

Hosting the BBC live events stage for the 2008 Children in Need appeal.

To book me to host your awards show or speak at your business event or dinner please email me with details of the event including the date, location and size of audience. I’ll be back to you as soon as possible. Hope to hear from you! jem@jeremynicholas.co.uk

One of my most popular talks is ‘Putting the U in Humour’. It’s aimed at business people who want to get their message across more effectively by keeping their audience entertained.
Its a 30 minute keynote or a 60 minute interactive workshop.
The main message is to forget telling old jokes and concentrate on using amusing stories from your own real life.
It also deals with the way humor varies around the world, even the spelling!
Plus what is acceptable to different audiences, how to write funny stuff and why you should avoid being a clown. (Unless you already have a big red nose and a car that keeps falling to bits!)

Click below to watch it, and contact me if you’d like me to deliver the talk to your organisation.

When the face of Elvis was discovered on a piece of Stilton cheese nearly 30 years to the day after his death, the BBC knew they had to send their top reporter to cover the story. Sadly when I arrived, the cheese had already been cut up, because it was worth £70! I’m sure that would have easily been covered by the publicity value of having the world’s newsmedia rolling up in their satellite trucks.
As it was, there was just me in a silly hairnet covering it for Auntie.
I’m particularly proud of the cheese related Elvis lyrics in my script such as ‘don’t step on my blue vein cheese’ and ‘I just want to be your Camembert’
Enjoy!

Here’s me being made up as a pantomime dame and meeting versatile entertainer Brian Conley.

I’ve always been fascinated by mystic Uri Geller. I’ve interviewed him many times on TV and radio and for my book.
Here’s me on stage with him before one of his theatre shows.

I’ll be in South Africa in 2010 cheering on England at the football World Cup. It’s one of the perks of marrying a Kruger! I’ll be in Cape Town and Johannesburg, so give me a shout if you are looking for an entertaining after dinner speaker, with football and broadcasting anecdotes, to speak to your organisation. jem@jeremynicholas.co.uk

Or if you want the full match experience but without the travel, why not buy a copy of the brilliant video game Fifa 10. I’m the voice of the stadium announcer on the game and have been on all the EA Sports Fifa games since Fifa 06 -The Road to the World Cup. In the meantime please enjoy this film of my meeting with a Grandmother who made her own World Cup trophy from odds and ends she found in the house.

Peter Crouch is an unusual footballer. He’s way too tall, but he does a cracking goal celebration which I’m hoping we’ll see in South Africa a few times. He’s also a legend for his answer to the question, what would you be if you weren’t a footballer? Answer- a virgin! Good on you Crouchy. Here’s me learning how to do ‘The Robot’, the dance that would have died out if it hadn’t been for Ross on ‘Friends’ and the legendary Mr Crouch.

Remember the last World Cup? We played Paraguay at one point. I was given the difficult job of previewing the game from an East Midlands point of view for TV. Only one place to go. The zoo!

And we played Sweden. Here’s me previewing that game with lovely Swedish (well Long Eaton) tribute group, the Abba Girls!

I’ll be doing some reports on the World Cup in South Africa for some websites and radio stations back in the UK. If you have a small radio station and can’t afford to send your own reporter, please give me a shout and I’ll give you a great rate for some World Cup reports and colour pieces. jem@jeremynicholas.co.uk

I went for a look around a house for sale with a built in shark tank.

Now here’s one of my comedy heroes Rik Mayall telling me why he doesn’t speak Northern.

I met a man who carved David Beckham’s face on a melon

Lots of these stories feature in my after dinner speeches. I do two different sets, one based on sports stories and one on funny broadcasting experiences that have happened to me. If you have an event coming up please contact me and I’ll see if I’m free jem@jeremynicholas.co.uk

One day there was an earthquake in Britain. We didn’t have any footage of it as we were all asleep, so instead I went to meet some rabbits in a frantic bid to crowbar a news item into the running order.

You can’t call yourself a serious sports reporter until you’ve reported on the World Conker Championships.

I’m the stadium announcer at God’s chosen team, West Ham United, so it was great to meet a fellow stadium announcer who actually works for God!

One of my serious stories, the face of Elvis discovered on a piece of Stilton cheese. I can’t believe it didn’t lead the bulletin.

Here’s me interviewing French and Saunders. I think they are brilliant.

This report does exactly what it says on the tin. A one armed busker has invented a board game.

Beat burglars with the chicken poo catapault.

If watching the above videos has made you a) want to book me as a speaker b) give me a gig on The One Show as a features reporter or c) just made you laugh, then please send me a message. Best wishes Jem jem@jeremynicholas.co.uk
