Tim Vine, wearing a hat made of empty milk bottles and packing tape

I have had the pleasure of seeing Tim Vine perform live a couple of times. He's back, with his new show, Sunset Milk Idiot. The show promises, amongst other things, "telling lots of silly new jokes, showing off new homemade props, singing some new daft ditties, and all with the appearance of confidence. The following subjects will be touched upon briefly: pixie football, ice cream and nibble feeders. Come along, sit down, and laugh. The quantity won’t let up. This is comedy without a message. What an odd person. What a lot of nonsense. What else is he going to do? ‘Sunsets are in the sky, milk’s nice, and I’m an idiot.’"

When he tours overseas, I wonder how he gets all of his props through customs. How does he describe them when he fills out his customs declaration form? Do customs officers examine each prop individually before they stamp his passport? What sort of questions do they ask him? Am I overthinking all this?
