10 Most Outrageous Stories Revealed On The Graham Norton Show
2. Phoebe Waller-Bridge - Flashing Her Co-star
It should be apparent by now that Phoebe Waller-Bridge is adept at making people laugh with awkward and embarrassing stories. If the mountain of awards that she won for Fleabag hasn’t sold you on this fact, then this hilarious story she told from the famous red sofa should do it.
While performing in Noël Coward’s classic comic play Hay Fever in 2012, Waller-Bridge would play a prank on fellow castmate Freddie Fox whenever he had to open a door on stage and act shocked before slamming it. Some nights there were hiding behind the door wearing hotdog costumes, some nights it was funny hats, the possibilities were endless.
And on the final night, realising that she hadn’t prepared anything for Freddie to gawk at and with the encouragement of the stage management, Phoebe decided to turn around, bend over and show Freddie her…
Well, you can probably work out exactly what the poor Mr. Fox saw when he opened the door that night. If there’s a better way to make sure the end of a three-month run of performances sticks in your mind, we haven’t heard of it.
