  • This was different - he had a theme, pretending that he had been a spy, and the story of that. Still quite a few one-liners though.

    Henning Wehn makes me laugh. I have seen Would I lie to you being filmed three times so far. I would recommend it. A lot can't be used and they don't care. Lee Mack is brilliant.

    Wehn is especially funny when you consider he's not speaking in his first language. Mack is very sharp and I love the delivery of Jack Dee.

    Can't believe you didn't mention the cheer when Charlton was mentioned and Milton's response?

    Saw Bob Monkhouse once whilst on holiday in Jersey. He was hilarious.

    Haven't read previous ten pages but Henning Wehn is my current favourite. Who said Germans don't have a sense of humour. Once employed Ronnie Corbett for a corporate gig. Very funny man and down to earth. Richard Herring very dry if it is the guy I'm thinking of.
    Been watching a lot of Would I lie To You and 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown one YouTube, reminds me how funny Henning Wehn is. James Ancastor has grown on me an all.

    Still don't think Lee Mack can be beaten for razor sharp wit though
    I like James Acaster. Very deadpan. On WILTY my favourite was a story about a friend's young son and involved cabbages. Very funny.

    Or the one about his mate who was the keyboard player in their band, but weren't very good so they turned the sound down

    I love the Henning Wehn routine were he starts with a terrible joke about his mate eating a sponge then goes on to say, first rule of German comedy is to start with your best joke. It is the way he does it, like he believes it. You need a natural comedian to make that work and he does.

    If you get the chance you should see his 'Repertoire'. It's absolutely hilarious.

    Some of the stories are good but too long to be included. Rob Brydon goes through a few alternative scores at the end to match up with what they put in. I was at the Christmas episode in May! and Sharon Osborne came over as a right cow - they gave her another one at the end and I thought they wouldn't use the one about the house fire, but they did! 
  • None of the best comedians are on mainstream TV. There's a reason for that.

    His all time classic was when he said that on the advice of Chris Rea, he always cracks an egg into his bath

    If you see a comedian a lot, no matter how funny they are, you quickly get to the point where they exhaust their repertoire. From that point on, you're largely getting repeats, re-workings and formulas. That's where most tv comedians are operating. For lesser known comics working in clubs, they can keep repeating their best suff without fear, because it's a new audience every night and only a handful of appreciative and forgiving fans will see their stuff repeated.
