» Comedy: Steve-O

Comedy: November 1st, 2011

From Jackass to Wildboyz to Jackass The Movie, and now his very own one man show. Get ready…


If there are any bones in Steve-O’s body that he has not already broken in some stunt, you get the distinct impression it wouldn’t be wise to point them out to him. Ever since he was 15 years old and borrowed his dad’s video camera to film homemade skate stunt shorts there’s been a dangerous edge to his work.

» Going For A Song – Carluccio’s

Andrew Kay's food & drink: November 1st, 2011

Andrew Kay enjoys Opera A Tavola at Carluccio’s


If I’m perfectly honest, over the years my experiences of dinners with entertainment have not been good. Sometimes good food with bad entertainment, sometimes good entertainment with bad food and sometimes bad food and bad entertainment. So, as you can imagine, I was fairly nervous about Opera A Tavola. Not that I was worried about the food at Carluccio’s, I eat there often and love it. No, it was the singing that had me worried.

I arrived to find a rather nice drinks reception with excellent nibbles, mountains of crisp whitebait and little chicken pieces with ham and sage went down well with quality chilled Prosecco.

Latest TV

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
