Comedian, Uncle, Father, and now Grandfather. Slim is racking up the titles as he heads into his forties

Starting his forties as a grandad, and ending it with a massive career highlight, how else did Slim see his forties? He examines his growth in the comedy circuit from 'younger brother' to 'uncs' to 'OG'. He also tells us about how you should look after yourself in your forties, but maybe avoid the gym. We also hear about his dating life as a young grandad - even though his efforts nearly land him in the hospital
