BRENDAN HEALY - TALL STORIES DVD Ray Stubbs produced gritty R&BRecorded in front of a live audience at the Customs House, South Shields, on Friday 11 March 2005. Tall Stories features Brendan Healy's surreal humour at its best. Alternative uses for Viagra, how to get your own back on taxi drivers, carol singing snails and a witch doctor's curse are all topics dealt with in Brendan's irreverent and zany style. The programme carries a 15 certificate, although the occasional ribald language is unlikely to offend
