1. What a great Stewie impression. Seth Macfarlane who voices the character in Family Guy is a complete hunk o’ spunk.
2. I wish I hadn’t bought the 3G now. I long for the extra SPEED and better camera 🙁
3. Thanks Derren

   Cor blimmey, posh, innit.
4. I’d hoped for something more exotic but it looks like a Travelodge.

   Come on Derren! You’re there for a month, you could have shipped in some stuffed animals and a selection of your favourite portraits to liven it up a bit. Maybe install Paul Daniels for “magic chats” on the comfy sofa between performances. There’s not even a designated area for Jennie to practise her power ballad dance moves.

   Disappointing, sir, very disappointing. And my disgruntlement is in no way connected to the fact that you have an iPhone 3GS. Some of us still have six months to go on our contract…[sigh]
5. Loving the Freddie comb holder, very kitch! Never had Derren down as a Fredde admirer!
6. Thanks very much! you know how to live it up don’t you!? where are the flowers, the fruits, the girls in skimpy costumes….. Good luck for the show! enjoy the After Eights….but you could really do with some quality chocolates!!!
7. Wow, your room has walls and stuff in it. I’ve never seen such wonders 😀
   Thanks for doing the fabled Stewie impersonation for my benefit, I was starting to wonder if my fellow bloggers were yanking my chain! I didn’t realise he has his own drink too… where can you get that from?
   PS Has coops been forgiven for denting the laptop?
8. Hoo that was enjoyable! I could take a quiz on that now. Great use of the bin.
9. hahaha you’re brilliant!
   That Stewie impression is fantastic 😀

10. Oh my gaaawd a perfect Stewie impression! How delightful!

    Glad to see that the worlds for most mind botherer has time to share his magnificent space with us all….Bravo!

    Can I have one of those bottles of wine please?
11. Such a cool dressing room. Please record more videos, maybe a wonder on stage when its not in use.

    Love you even more now lol, that Stewie impressing was great and the clothes you wear “on you” how do you manage such things. 😀

    Great to hear from you.

12. Great video Derren, thanks. Very glamourous…kind of 🙂

    I am surprised you haven’t been taken for GBH re: your poor MacBook Air! (Joke, obviously). Woe betide the individual that busts mine with a skateboard or anything else. If I had one, that is.

    Love the Freddie statue – as one of Queen’s biggest ever fans I applaud your taste!

    Thanks for sharing this!

    Take care xxx
13. Wow, that dressing room is bigger than my entire flat! Looks quite lovely and homely though.

    No wonder Coops manages to break so much stuff, kicking a brand new iPhone? Tsk.
14. Didn’t have you down as a ‘settee’ person. Perhaps it was irony. Perhaps not. But then again, ‘Freddie Mercury Who Holds The Comb’ – Is That Base Belong To You though?
15. I love the Stewie impression.

    I wish I were your Skateboarding PA, could I be Coops’s PA?
16. Excellent Stewie impression!! 🙂
17. That is so much nicer than my flat.
18. Rofl
19. ohh thats what bins are for! 😉
20. How lovely! It’s given me the unabashed craving for After Eight Mints….

    Matt
21. What a genuinely funny guy DB seems to be. That’s funny ha ha btw 😉 Fascinating insight guys – thanks x
22. I’m kind of taken aback. That was a really, really good Stewie impression.
23. lolz… I was having difficulty to decide as to wether of not I should get the new iphone from carphone warehouse branch on Marylebone high st a few weeks ago on a Friday when they were having the iphone launch, wasn’t so great to be completly honest, there was much more interest on blackberry’s particularly the blackberry curve.

    should’ve got on of those derren… and then you could’ve had the oppurtunity to instant message all of your fans on blackberry 🙂

    Loved the show, saw it on Saturday, and because i have been constantly ranting on about it the rest of my friends and family have bought 14 tickets alltogether to see you on the 23rd July.

    Keep up the good work 😀

    Lots of Love,
    Donna

24. this is hilarious!!! you can always direct comedies if this mentalist thingy doesnt work out…
25. Hahahaha…… Loved the impersonation of stewie!!
26. My life suddenly feels a little more enlightened! “Here is Freddy Mercury and he holds the comb.” Haha! 🙂
27. SHOCKING wastefulness there at 1:02
28. Derren!

    I told you NEVER to reveal the beard steamer! 🙁
29. Filmed in Periscope. 🙂
30. *grins* Derren’s funny.
    That’s a big dressing room, though! Looks like a cool place to hang out and relax. When I get famous, I want one of those, too! 😛
31. Just fabulous.
32. I quite thoroughly enjoyed the difference between the two setis. Thanks for that.
33. Coolest Stewie impression I’ve heard in a while!!! How long has he been working on that? Quite the party piece!!!
34. Derren, thank you for that wonderful tour… i’ve been working at the Adelphi for over 2 years now and have never seen the inside of the dressing rooms! Jealous you got the new iPhone as well! Adam
35. Big fan of the Kick, AND choco hob knobs… really are a gentleman with class! I want the 3GS but don’t wanna pay the 600 quid to upgrade at the moment 🙁 …how the other half live!

    Chris
36. Thanks for sharing the inner sanctum, and for the Stewie impression. It was surprisingly good!

    Tell Coops to wash his feet, dirty boy.
37. Tch, what a senseless waste of two plastic cups…
38. I’m sure that’s girl deodorant isn’t it?

    PS, it’s all about the BlackBerry Storm..
39. After Eights! Come on it’s got to be Bendicks. Remember the advert? “Ah, mental cruelty”. When I eventually meet you I promise to give you the largest box I can find.
40. Derren,
    Saw the show last night and just awesome. Didn’t think you’d top something wicked show (which was my fav) but brilliant. Very funny too.

    Nice dressing room too! Surely a mega star like you needs a bit more colour in there!
41. What a fantastic video!

    The iPhone video quality really is something to be admired! Buy me one? 🙂

    And – your Stewie impression is amazing!

    Love x
42. Derren,

    A man of your calibre really should know how to recycle.

    xx
43. Did he say “Music kettle”, or “music, kettle”?

    Can we have another one please at the end of the tour to see what squalor you’ve descended to after living there for over a month.

    All the best,
    Paul B
44. Ooohhh, pfwoarrr….what a Huge dressingroom that is? Your being spoilt as King of Zanzibar! …but then again… feeling prewty spoilt with that funny clip here too….what a treat, Lovely:-D

45. Disposable plastic cups? I’m shocked. I would have expected the finest disposable crystal glassware! Derren is clearly a man of the people judging by the way he allows himself to be lowered to use such basic amenities.
46. I must say that is a gloriously luxurious dressing room. The ones i’ve been in are chairless, the size of a minibar fridge and smell distinctly of unwashed costumes. 🙂

    Damn good Stewie impression indeed! The highlight of the viewing.
47. Ah, nice sofa’s … have seen and been in worse dressing rooms I have to say. Those we always sort of missed. bathrooms with thin doors in a crowded but not too noisy dressing room … also something you dont want … But the whiskey, cognac, beer, soda’s and tea .. where is it?

    I don’t even have a sofa at home anymore … mind you …. it’ has been used by a mouse family who thought it would make a nice new home to them … I did not dare to sit on it for quite some time (what if the babies got flattened by me etc ..). Are you sure there’s no mice in the sofa’s overthere .. didn’t I hear a little noise coming from there? Oh, that was Coops?

    Oh well, you could have done worse if you have to stay somewhere for a month or so .. sunny as well I can see .. with sort of a view ..

    Cards … why would someone send you cards in a theatre .. I myself never would do such a thing … I’d prefer to send blueprints and such I guess, secret codes. Quel surprise! Another way of saying simply .. helluh …

    enjoy .. it’s way too hot here .. one rabbit went down already unfortunately.
48. You egg.
    Love you much. Thank you for a great show.
    You genies mannn
    xxxxxxx
49. Ah, i was grinning like a fool all the way through that. i expect more amusing videos now you have the new iPhone derren 😛
    oh darn, my iPhone-without-video doesnt seem quite so spectacular anymore 🙁
    xx all the best
50. Happy days 😀 😀
