Mr Stewart said: “I just wanted to do a bit to keep spirits high, I know a lot of people out there are struggling on their own without being able to go out or have people visit them.
“I’m not the best singer, I’m more about jokes and having a laugh.
“I’m feeling it too, I like being on the go and out on the road talking to people. I just want to help connect with other people while telling a few jokes at the same time.”
