First however he has to pass the test of the Guild of Assassins and repel the attacks of an experienced colleague. All aided by his constant companions the odiferous petty magician Tarl and Puss the carnivorous Donkey from Hell. James Bibby honed his joke crafting sword on the anvil of talent that was OTT and THREE OF A KIND, working with Lenny Henry, Chris Tarrant and Tracy Ullman and many other top television comedians.
