I'm a avid lover your Rifftrax Presents--Sherlock Holmes is definitely your best! Do you do the riffing completely by yourself? If so, I'm damn impressed!! Keep up the good work!! Also are you on twitter? I tried to search for you, but couldn't find you.  (I'm not sure if that's just an American thing either, but it shouldn't be)

Nice to see someone who is British here on Rifftrax. I'm from Britain too! I would like to ask some questions.

Do you know anybody else from Britain who does Rifftrax or iRiffs?

Do you record in Britain or at Rifftrax HQ in San Diego?

Once again, nice to see someone British. I'm thinking of doing iRiffs in the future. But I was wondering if I was going to be the first one to be British.

Thanks!
