was lying in "Bartender")
3) Tony recently hosted a "really poor medical comedy"
show on Channel 5 in England called "Tibs and Fibs"
4) Tony likes to pick outrageous topics etc...like the
time his author was Dr. Alex Comfort, author of the Joy of Sex...
5) Tony usually goes for the Lowest bawdy gag...the furthest
into the gutter that he can.
6) He appears to have a BIG problem with his alphabet...he
usually forgets what sequence the letters fall in...
7) Lots of people who can't spell think he's a CRETTIN
(hey Skrenk, I'm talking to you!)
8) Played the character "Brook" on "Androids" in the
Red Dwarf episode entitled "Kryten"
9) Tony attended Cambridge (with Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie,
and Emma Thompson) and was a member of the Footlights 1981-1982 (He was
President in 1982)
10) Tony appeared in a sales training video!!!! Here's
the review on it!!!!!
Achieving Major Sales stresses the need to ask the right questions, at the right time and in the right manner. Ace salesman Swan (Hugh Laurie) cannot get through to his customer (Dawn French), so seeks advice from a consultant (Tony Slattery). He learns that to get the customer to recognise that a problem exists, he must create an explicit need and enable the sales executive to offer constructive solutions to meet it. (A Video Arts production in association with Huthwaite Research Group, featuring Dawn French, Tony Slattery and Hugh Laurie "The most useful training film in correct sales technique for many years." S.Davis, Training Manager, National Mutual Life)
11) Tony was a patron of the 1997 Leicester Comedy Festival, where he performed with the Comedy Store Players in a two hour WLiiA style show. He also took part in an hour long Q& A session, where he talked about his life, and the reasons for his absence from stage and screen in 1997.
12) Although Tony appears to be boistrous, loud, obnoxious and rude on television, he is, in reality, proper, considerate, shy and polite.
