So I yelled something about him being my favourite interviewer before using my bike as a weapon to fight my way out of the crowd.

Since I was stuck, I decided to tell him about the essay I wrote for the Walrus a while back where I quoted him and one of my main sources was the comedian Sophie Buddle who he had on his show recently. He smiled big and said, “Sophie’s so cool.” I was so flustered, I didn’t know what else to say…

Outside the theatre, I was trying to get my bike out of the growing crowd when I looked up and saw this guy with beautiful glasses just standing there. People started saying, hey Marc! And I realized it was the man himself and I was stuck there behind him with my bike as people were taking selfies
