Comedian Russell Kane talks us through this snap taken at a, erm, buzzing V Festival…

T

hought the backstage VIP areas at big events were rammed to the rafters with A-listers? Apparently not! Just check out this lonely-looking selfie taken by comedian Russell Kane in the artist area at V Festival! Here, Russell, 35, talks us through the snap, confesses his biggest selfie fail and reveals he’s always being mistaken for Nick Grimshaw! Talk us through your festival selfie… I headlined at both Chelmsford and Staffordshire – they’re really big gigs. I’ve always wanted to play there. Comedy at festivals has really ramped up in recent years. The crowd can easily get up to a couple of thousand, which for comedy feels like a rock star atmosphere. My nerves were going something chronic. You still get nervous? For something like that, you would. A comedian’s nerves are in relation to how many of the audience

What is that hood doing @tiffanyc_watson Sunday, November 15 It appears your sister has a sheep’s head strapped to her back, Lucy!

have come to see him. The scariest gig would be the Royal Variety where no one has come to see you – they’ve come for Shirley Bassey! We’ve been stalking you on social media and it doesn’t look like you take many selfies… I do. I take loads! Where are you hiding them all then? You’ll probably find more selfies on Twitter. I’m not a massive Instagrammer. My dogs tend to hog my Instagram! I don’t indulge in duck-pouting on there. What do you think of celebs who pout for their selfies? I don’t know where it evolved that pulling a face like you’re having a mild stroke is attractive. The more confident you make yourself look in a picture the less confident you probably are in real life. Who is the biggest selfie-taker that you follow on Instagram? Emily can’t-pronounce-her-surname Ratajkowski. She’s fit. She’s seriously hot and she does naked selfies. I mean everything a boy could want

from someone he’s stalking! She posts the most, but they’re welcome. It’s not a criticism, Emily… Have you ever had a selfie fail? Yes! But I deleted it. I did a selfie of me and my dog Colin and his ID tag was the other way round with my phone number and address on there! Do you have any other funny selfie stories? People think I’m Nick Grimshaw! I actually get more people thinking I’m Nick than thinking I’m me. I was at a pool party with a girl and this girl came over to me and said, “I don’t understand why you’re doing that. My brother came out because of you and you feel the need to lie in public.” She thought I was Nick pretending to be straight in public. I won’t spoil it, but this forms a large narrative that runs through my DVD. What’s been your most successful selfie? My most retweeted selfie was my “cock in a sock” one. It was for charity.

Russell Kane Live is available on DVD from Monday, November 30
