Dave Herman as Michael Bolton is one of my favorite performances ever.
Nothing is better than the moment you have Michael Bolton dressed as Forrest Gump and you see it in action.
We grew up in a nice house in a very middle-class area in Bolton and had a very happy childhood. My mum, Falak, who was also brought over from Pakistan by her parents as a kid, devoted herself to bringing up me and my younger brother and sister, Haroon and Tabinda, and my elder sister Mariyah.
I did a play in Bolton - 'Billy Liar.' I turned it down at first but then thought, 'What the hell else can I do? I'm no good at anything else.'
It's quite telling that the really big comedians - like John Bishop from Liverpool, Kevin Bridges from Glasgow, Peter Kay from Bolton - stand out with their strong regional accents.
I didn't have that thing that Michael Bolton did; my star power - my charisma - was not a match to my writing ability.
Jack Wilshere is a prime example of how things work. He went to Bolton and did really well, then he went back to Arsenal and really kicked on. It is something quite a few of the young boys look at and think, 'If he can do it, so can we.'
When you think of Bolton you think of the likes of Kevin Davies. He is a captain who leads by example and his qualities got him an England cap.
I played for England off the back of playing for Bolton so I would like to thank the fans there for making me feel at home for the four years that I played there.
I wanted to play in the Premier League and Bolton offered me that opportunity at that time and that was why I signed for Bolton.
