Greg Davies' latest stand-up show, You Magnificent Beast, is the be streamed on Netflix from April 10.
The film of the show was recorded during his UK tour last year. During his set the former teacher revealed that his mother had asked him to stop talking about her onstage. Although this doesn't stop him from talking about her onstage.

Cinemas in the UK will be marking the 40th anniversary of the release of Monty Python and the Holy Grail with special one-off singalong screenings in 500 cinemas. The events will take place across the country on Wednesday October 14.
The screenings will be accompanied by a specially filmed exclusive introduction from Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and John Cleese.
Former Monty Python stars Michael Palin and Terry Jones will be reuniting to talk about their lengthy careers. They are being interviewed by comedy historian Robert Ross for his podcast Robert Ross Requests The Pleasure at the Museum of Comedy in London on March 29.
The interview will covering the guest’s lives in comedy before, during and after Monty Python's heyday. They will also talk about their personal favourites and influences.
John Cleese is supporting publication of his memoir, So, Anyway… with a nationwide book and theatre tour this autumn.

Back in the 1970s Eric Idle and Terry Jones starred in the brilliant "nudge nudge" sketch in which Idle played an interfering busy-body who wouldn't leave Jones' upright, bowler-hatted Englishman alone in the pub.
