Let me show you around and what I like to get up to in my downtime.

The magic circle has cool to do with magic, not about me.

For the past few months I've been taking my comedy tour up and down the country.

But for my final show, I'll be bringing it back to Enfield.

You can get a cheer just by saying where you are.

That's how easy it is if you walk on stage, go, hi, everyone, my name is Emmanuel.

Located about a 30 minute train ride away from central London, Enfield isn't your typical tourist destination.

But if you want the flavor of a typical British town filled with locals and a great sense of humor, this is the place.

This is my fortress of solitude, my local cafe, the Olive Tree.

This is basically when I come when I can't be bothered to make breakfast because they do it better than I do.

The full English breakfast is a cultural institution.

A visit to the UK is not complete without having one.

But this isn't the meal you want to grab at a pretentious brunch spot.

The best breakfasts are cooked in local cafes, or cafes as we call them around here.

I do the same thing every time I come in here.

I look through the entire menu and then I order the set too.

Eggs, bacon, sausage, chips and beans, all served with toast, tea or coffee.

But for this visit I'm gonna switch it up and order something else of a British icon.

Can I please have just a bacon sandwich, please?

I could quite happily sit and eat these all day.

This is where we started the tour and where we're finishing it as well.

I've been out to the States to do this as well.

I've been lucky enough that I've got to travel everywhere and Enfield's always been home to come back here and do the show.

Let me show you a beloved feature of Enfield.

Now, you might be thinking this picture's people queuing up to go and see my show, which is what it looks like, but

The first cash point in the world was installed here.

So we have a gold cash point to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the world's first cash point.

But, sorry, this machine has been taken out of service for routine, so you can't use it.

Getting in a regular workout is non negotiable for me, but

especially on a day that I've got a gig, as this is how I get in the zone.

It's an independently owned gym that focuses on bodybuilders and other fitness fanatics.

I've got a membership here, but if you're on the road, you need to blow some steam.

You can grab a day pass at the front desk.

I find if I can start my day off right, it finishes right.

The nice thing is, a gym this size, most people know each other, so that's how we met.

The funny thing is, most people don't know each other's names, but

If people really knew how to heckle me, I'd probably cry on stage.

I think it was a video that I had up online and he sent me a message saying, oh, you stop cutting.

You know those moments where you're just minding your own business and your brain will say some stupid sh.

Literally yesterday I was in the gym, which was weird because I don't really work out.
