group, um, we were an interracial group in 1962 in memphis, tennessee, uh, we would-- >> shad: touring must have been where it showed up the most, >> booker: yes. it would have been probably better had we been a football team or something, rather than a--a musical group because it was just, um, not the right yeah?to be doing at that time. >> shad: were there any particularly difficult moments? >> booker: every moment outside the door was difficult, uh, because it was the south.thing it was difficult for blacks even without the whites. and then for blacks with whites it was even more, um, complicated. >> shad: was the stax building then one of the only refuges from that? >> booker: yes, we had--well, our other refuge, of course, was the lorraine motel where we had our meetings and where w our meals, but, yes, there were not many places where we could go, um, and not be really, um, aware of the--that aspect, theek interracial aspect. >> shad: were you in memphis in 1968 when martin luther king was killed? >> booker: yes, i was, mm hmm. >> shad: do you remember that
2:06 am
moment? >> booker: yes, i do. the marches had begun, and it was, um--it was, uh, emotional upheaval for me and, um, everyone i knew. and um, it was devastating for the, um--for the movement of getting, uh, basically salaries and money for, um, the men who were keeping the city afloat. the people who were carrying the, uh, tin cans on their backs down the alleyways and who were picking up the trash for years and, um, driving the dangerous trucks were not making enough money to support their families and everyone knew it. >> shad: hmm. >> booker: and there was a huge resistance against paying them a decent wage. the resistance was, um, un--it was unfathomable how strong it was, the, uh--the oppression.
2:07 am
so, there was no way the elements, the africa-american or the white elements in the city, could come together on that, so we needed help. and, uh, the help was dr. martin luther king. he was the only one that could make a difference and, uh, to take him out the equation was just, um, unbelievable. >> shad: did it affect everyone at stax differently? >> booker: i can't say how it affected everyone at s i cannot go inside different people. i can say that if there was a fissure in the company, it made it larger, um, because, um. that type of thing was just too strong a--an event. it affected the--you know, the whole world, including stax. >> shad: 50 years later, does it surprise you to still see the kind of violence we just saw in, uh, charleston? >> booker: um, that type of violence is being taught, uh, through rhetoric.
2:08 am
rhetoric is not something that we're able to, um, control. rhetoric comes from things that people write and people say and then other people believe them. um, it--it comes from the inside. and, um, i think dr. kin life, uh, was an--was ang's extremely important one in terms of affecting that type of rhetoric. i, for one, uh--i, for one, am still hopeful that, uh, the man's dream will be, um--will come true. thanks for having me, shad. ♪ >> shad: coming up on q: a performance from miguel. but first, british comedian russell howard.
2:10 am
>> russell: did you see cameron trying to stand up at the european union? he tried his best to look strong and powerful and say, "i will not pay this bill."

[laughter] >> russell: who wrote his speech? yoda? [laughter] >> russell: guess again if bill you think pay i will. then he just started talkingg ci about board games. >> david: you don't need to have a cluedo set to know that someone's been clubbed with a lead pipe in the library. [laughter] >> russell: and if you think professor plum wasn't in the drawing room with the bloody hungry hippos you ca [laughter] >> shad: russell howard is not a household name here, but he's a comedy sensation in the uk. think n... as a mix between daniel tosh and john oliver,
2:11 am
mixing politics and pop culture with a quick wit. he dropped by studio q to talk about the joy of comedy and alsm about the challenge of taking your jokes overseas. russell howard in studio q. hello. >> russell: hello, mate, how you? >> shad: i'm doing well. welcome to canada. >> russell: thank you. thanks for having me. i love this studio you've got here. >> shad: thank you. it's a-- >> russell: it's like we're in sort of an old dying night club it's like a-- d: it's like a really sad nightclub. >> russell: it's beautiful though. it feels like this room's got memories in it. stuff's gone down here. >> shad: yeah, definitely, definitely. yeah, i can should come into big thumping house music, yeah.>> sa >> russell: yeah. >> shad: how was the show last night? >> russell: it was good fun actually. yeah, it was--it was really cool, uh, doing a little place in--i think the comedy bar in toronto? >> shah. >> russell: and, yeah, it was--it was just a little tiny venue for a hundred people, nice and sweaty. >> shad: are-- >> russell: um, turns out sellotape isn't a thing you have over here. >> shad: sellertape? >> russell: yeah, exactly. so, i have this bit aboud: yea you know, the sort of the--the stuff that you wrap presents with. >> shad: yeah. >> russell: you call it scotch tape? >> shad: mm hmm. >> russell: yeah. t, um,ere you go. so, i am still prattling on about it. so it's--it's good.
2:12 am
that's the interesting thing about like chutes and ladders, snakes and ladders, it's like little tiny nuances.so, th >> shad: yeah. >> russell: so, they're kind of looking at me like--i mention this thing yesterday about in england we have magpies, the black-and-white birds, and if you see them, you have to say, "hello, mr. magpie, how's your family?" and i've got this bit that's kind of funny observational comedy and a, hey, why do we do that, and it works really well in england.but, obviously, if yt have the bird or the saying, it's just madness. so, i was trying to explain to the audience yesterday, isn't it funny that--that we do this? and they would just look at me and go, "it's not funny; it's insane," but this is a thing we do. um, so yeah, it was good really. it's just--that's what i love. just doing like a little small venukind of sort of chewing a set out and kind of, you know-- >> shad: i find this--that fascinating about comedy. because you'd never see chris martin, for example and like, "i'm gonna go down and play the open-mic night."" >> russell: yeah. and stood up there: and it was all blue; it was all orange--yellow; it was yellow. but that's we, be medy is, that you--it doesn't exist in a vacuum. you have to kind of get up; you
2:13 am
have an idea; you kind of, you know, say it out loud in front of people, and they help you mould ithat coa thing. it's such a two-way process, you know? >> shad: and i love how much comics love that. >> russell: yeah. >> shad: they're not like, "oh, no, i gotta go down to the, you know--the comedy cellar in new york, for example, and try out some stuff." >> russell: you'll never find a comedian-- >> shad: they love it. >> russell: mate, yeah. we just--i think that's the brilliant thing. it doesn't matter how big you are. like, every time chris rock does london, he always does the comedy store before he does big shows. and i've seen him down there, and it's a similar thing, it's just him kind of, you know, sors way, that way and--so that when he does the big show, it's all ironed out; it's all kind of good. >> shad: hmm. >> russell: but i bet you he enjoys that tiny gig just as as he enjoys doing the hammersmith apollo or the o2 or something. >> shad: hmm. you talked about the differences, uh, between brits and north americans in terms of references and smuch >> russell: mm hmm, yeah. >> shad: what about in terms of being an audience in general? >> russell: oh, i think they're pretty similar. i think you're a lot more upbeat than english audiences. liketuff.lways fascinates me when you see comics come on.
2:14 am
i remember doing montreal a few years ago and a guy walked on the stage and went, "so i've, ia been married now for about 20 years." and the crowd applauded. that wouldn't happen in england. you know, it's just like, "you've married have ya? well, you better have some stories about how much you hate her because we haven't come here for joy, we're e." and i--but i really like that positivity and whooping. i've never heard an english person whoop. [shad laughs] >> russell: you know? it's sort of--the sort ofnglish general, um, positivity that's what i love about--but that's your-- >> shad: that's a big part of your comedy though. >> russell: yeah, well that's interesting. i'm kind of ent in england for that because i'm kind of one of the more kind of upbeat guys, but i'm nothing compared to the average north american audience. it's--it'sdifferng. you just--you kind of wander on...hey! to travel all this way and have people kind of giddy to see you is mind blowing. amazi >> shad: uh, i was wondering, do you just collect anecdotes when you--as you go through your day, are you thinking, "well, that's a--that's a good little story; that's a good little story?" >> russell: yeah, pretty much. it's kind m so fortunate really that it's--it's a
2:15 am
mechanism through which to do life, standup. because you kind of--but you must have a similar thing doing this job that where' certain things happen in your life and you're lucky enough to have sort of a creative outlet. do you think, "oh, that would be quite cool, and i can--i can put this through comed so, you know, something might happen to me, and then you think, "ok, and then you write a few jokes around it, and before you know, it's kind of--it's a nice sort of slice of somethy." >> shad: when did you discover you could do that? >> russell: um, i think i've always done it since i was a kid. like it's--do you know what i mean, it's-- >>ing." but as a professional, translate life through comedy and--and you know? >> russell: do you know, weirdly, this is gonna sound terribly pretentious, but how english did i sound then? shad: um, that's another thing as well that it's that weird thing where you try--you're sort of told when you're living in england that as soon as you get to north america, um, girls love an english accent. that simply isn't the case. but you find yourself trying to be more english, and it doesn't work. you know? it's just creepy. hello. hello, ladies, hello. um, but-- >> shad: ladies is always creepy. >> russell: yeah.
2:16 am
>> shad: lady, singular is fine. singular is great. >> russell: that's exactly it. although, but lady is still pretty creepy though, isn't it? >> shad: yeah, it's like 80% less creepy than--the plural's a problem. sorry, but i interrupted you. >> russell: no, no, it's hilarious. >> shad: yeah. >> russell: but that's, um--i think what happened i remember doing an open spot, like, you know, an open mic, when i was 18. it was kind of one of those things that i thought, "right." i really wanted to do it since i was sort of 15; i used to write jokes, um, in my room, didn't tell anyone about it, and thought, "right, let's go for it let's go for it, just once, once." and i did it, and--and it went really well, and the next day it's a bit like when, um, have you ever seen a--an interview with a vampire? >> shad: mm hmm. >> russell: where brad pitt gets bitten and becomes a vampire and suddenly the world looksdiffere. that's how it felt to me. that suddenly you kind of went, "wow, everything that happens in life, i have this--this playground that i can put it through, and it's--it's incredibly exhilarating because
2:17 am
suddenly going to the shops to buy bread is, you know, a potential comed"--that makes it sound like i'm sort of looking for--but there are certainly times in life where you just kind of--just--you're just living life in a very normal way and then things happen, and then, "ok that could be a bit" and it kind of, you know, it's relatable, you know? what--what brings you the joy? >> russell: uh, da-da-da...football. sadly football. but the most joyous--do you play football? soccer. >> shad: soccer. again, i was like, uh, not somot much--uh, a little bit. we play in the control room there. >> russell: yeah, i know. when i was chatting with one of the guys, he had his foot on a ball. >> shad: yeah. >> russell: um, if you're--and this is very specific, but if you're on the halfway line, right, and you've got the ball at your feet, and the defenders are peeling away from you, and you've got your striker upfront, that's the calmest you'll ever be in life because you're so joyous because you're not thinking about anything. you're completely in the moment. that's the happiest i've ever felt. >> shad: huh. >> russell: and scoring a goal at anfield whi uh, liverpool's, uh, ground. i scored a penalty there. that's the most joyous i've ever
2:18 am
felt. >> shad: even--even more than in comedy? >> russell: i'm talking about kicking a football in ch is,t at anfield. it just is off the scale. i--i think if i were a footballer, maybe it would be that thing of going, "oh, i did a gig, and it was great." but the grass is alwthe neeener. >> shad: yeah. >> russell: but let me tell you--because you don't think--the thing about comedy or any job, your brain is always thinking two steps ahead, you know? whereas, when you're playing ays grll, you are so--it's--it's the rare moment when you're completely in--you're just there. you're not thinking about anything else. you're not thinking about i'vef- >> shad: hmm. >> russell:--you know, there's a cuff button here. you're just thinking strikers, move, bang, goal, dead, yes.u s, russell. >> russell: pleasure ♪ i wish i could paint our love ♪ >> shad: still to come on q: miguel performs his hit,.
