Can Simon Amstell's support act help him with Twitter?

Supporting Simon on his Numb tour will be the Norwegian comedian, Daniel Simonsen . I decided it would be good to speak to Daniel about their upcoming journey together. Then I discovered that Simonsen, like Simon, is fairly new to Twitter, with little more than 100 tweets (and followers) to his name. So we ended up discussing this instead. In preparation for my meeting with Daniel (which was of course, instigated by me), I started following him on Twitter , re-tweeted him a few times and "favourited" two of his tweets, one of which is analysed in this video. I hoped that this would encourage him to a) become more Twitter confident; b) become aware of who I was and perhaps do a bit of background research on me; which would lead to c) him following me back. The next video will possibly be the most thrilling opportunity of my career so far: a formal interview with Simon Amstell , hopefully seated on chairs somewhere outside. I hope for a "followback" from Daniel any day now. Mobile site users: please visit the desktop site to view the video
