SEAN Kelly is not a man easily missed.
The ever-smiling, ever-shouting auctioneer off hit TV show Storage Hunters isn’t acting when he’s on our screens – he really is that larger than life.
We caught up ahead of his night of stand-up and charity auction at the Palace Theatre next week.
So just what are we going to get from this big, bald American’s show I ask?
“The biggest challenge we’ve been having, is trying to communicate is that me, Green Mile and T-Money, have been stand-up comedians for 19 years and that we started off in comedy at the comedy store in California,” he explains.
“People don’t realise Storage Hunters came much later. I got in the auction business about seven years after I started doing stand-up, and when I learnt how to make money at the storage auctions that’s when I taught T-Money how to come and make money.“And then I needed a security guy and Green Mile was the biggest guy I knew. So, I hired him. And then when I got the offer to do the TV show it was just natural to bring the two of them on the show with me.
“So, people know us from the TV show, but what they don’t realise is that for 19 years the three of us have been doing comedy together and
Sean Kelly: Storage Hunters, spying and finding a dead body
But in the show they always find some hidden treasure, it seems you can never lose!
You have to film a lot before you find that stuff. They don’t show enough of the boring ones, the ones most people make a living from with stuff you can take to car boot sales – dishes, old furniture, knick-knacks. The big scores they love to show on TV? Those are rare.
How often do you open a storage locker and find a dead body?
Pretty often people will put urns and ashes in there. A dead body, that’s only happened once.
What advice do you have for people who would like to try their bidding hand?
If you’ve never done this before you should go to five or 10 auctions without money. Just go, make a note of what things are selling for then go home and figure out how you would sell this stuff. How much effort would it take? How much profit would I make? If you go into an auction blind it’s so easy to overpay because you get caught up in the emotion.
The only sure winner is the auctioneer.
Yeah that’s right. I know approximately how much money I will make because I know on average what each
Interview: Rarely Asked Questions – Sean Kelly
Sean Kelly is best known as the ever-smiling, ever-shouting, fast-talking auctioneer star of TV's Storage Hunters. But he is also a comedian and he is coming to Edinburgh to talk about his crazy life. He's done everything from holding a top-secret military clearance, serving a combat tour in Iraq and catching shoplifters as an undercover store detective in Italy, to travelling to over 80 countries around the world and headlining the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. All this and he's still managed 25 years of marriage to his wife, Lori (though his answer to question 13 is interesting. I assume he is joking for the sake of Lori and for my sake).

1. What is the last thing you do before you go onstage (apart from check your flies and/or check your knickers aren't sticking out of your skirt and check for spinach between your teeth)?
I always take a piss moments before going onstage. Performing can be a lot of pressure, I don't need my own bladder pressuring me too!
A much shorter list would be what doesn't irritate me! But top of my lis
