Cosmo Jarvis

i'd forgotten all about him until i was checking to see if i wanted to go to the Adelphi tonight

The video below was posted over on Cook'd & Bomb'd (British comedy forum). Cosmo Jarvis seems to be in some kind of Youtube sitcom now:

After about 30 seconds I skipped forward to the very wonky credits at the end, and amazingly they reveal that the children of Rik Mayall and The Comic Strip Presents' Peter Richardson are responsible for this.

Wait wait hold up, so this guy became an actor and now is doing the Richard Chamberlain role in a remake of Shogun? Did I fall into a wormhole or something?

I have no recollection of any of this but I applaud my solid LJ burn

I listened to a few seconds of “Gay Pirates” and hooooooboy

I dare someone to be the interviewer for this who only asks him about that song.

I've since learned that Cosmo Jarvis is also in a Barry Levinson-directed/Nic Pileggi-written film where Robert de Niro is playing Vito Genovese AND Frank Costello. MY FUCKING BRAIN. Are they long lost twins or something.
