Did his usual trick of losing the audience and winning them back, blaming them if the jokes didnt work. He's not always the funniest, but he had me in fits several times last night. Easily the cleverest comedian there is.
I saw someone called Robert White at Storm in Leicester Square over the weekend. Really good, and got extra points as much of it was improvised with the audience.
jimny cricket at Blackpool pier as a 13 yr old I thought was brilliant
So wanted to go see chubby brown but apparently me nan wouldn't like him
Went back to see chubby a few years later money well spent
Mike Reid was superb,
We were setting up a conference at the NEC in Jan and they had Martin Bayfield doing a motivation speech and then this supposed comedian Hal Crutenden
Bayfield was amazing the best after dinner speaker I have ever had the pleasure to see
Hal Crutenden was terrible, he lost the audience in the first five minutes, couldn't recover them or win them back then when he realised that he was on a loser with the audience he retorted to giving out sly digs and poor attempts to cover his poor standard of stand up comedy
Saw Kevin Bridges doing a work in progress at the Soho Theatre last week. Really good.
Seeing him at a small theatre in Tunbridge Wells tomorrow night.....should be good!
Hello Thai, what did you think of the Kevin Bridges gig out of interest?
Very good but he was surprisingly nervous at times. I liked his story about the bloke at Burger King. As Kevin went to leave, Gary, the Burger King worker, said "You're a legend" and said that he had given him something extra. He looked in the bag and saw he got some free onion rings.

Know what you mean about him being a tad nervous. He also seemed a bit crestfallen if one or two of his stories didn't get huge laughs.

Yes, crestfallen is the right word if something didn't work. He twice said people should get their money back if they didn't find him funny. I thought he was good entertainment and a bit different from other comedians.
Mind you, a substantial amount of Lifers (on here), would have probably been outraged.
I don't particular like Jimmy Carr but when he came to our local theatre a couple of years ago I did go to see him. I didn't particularly enjoy it but I was impressed by the sheer volume of jokes that he launched at the audience. I never seen anything like it.
Just back from Tim Vine's gig. Loved it. Totally stupid, silly jokes, songs and dances but very, very funny. I have no idea how he remembers them all. Was sat right across the aisle to Eddie Howe and his missus and one row behind was Scottie Dog Mitchell.
Played a leg of 501 as part of his encore against him which must be a first for a comedy gig...and he did "dart behind the ear" too.
Went to see a Paul Foot stand up tonight in Perth, WA .. havent seen much/any of his stand up other than him being on Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Brilliant night, fairly good crowd, very bizarre and enjoyed it

The size of a living room & 2 tickets left.
How many tickets have been sold 3 or 4 ?
Haha. He's relatively unknown. He was hilarious though. Great value for a fiver and about 40 people in this underground air conditioned bunker. Finished by 7.30 and apparently Michael McIntyre was on at 8.30. Couldn't get out of there fast enough to avoid his smarmy face and voice!

How on earth he is successful is beyond me
Absolutely hilarious and a genius I would say.

You might want to get that seen to.
Craig Campbell's Thrilling Mic Hunt is worth seeing
brilliant.
