TellyMix, 25th August 2011 Show Me the Funny: a slow painful death The standup X Factor has been a failure. An abject, miserable failure. So will anyone watch tonight's live final? Written by Stuart Heritage. The Guardian, 25th August 2011 A slightly surprising - and very tough - vote from the judges after Monday night's show sent Dan, Pat and Tiffany through to tonight's live final at London's Hammersmith Apollo. The live finale of an underwhelming and quite peculiar series (just what were all those "tasks" all about, other than padding things out?), in which the three remaining wannabe stand-ups - some of whom were hardly unknowns in the first place - battle it out at London's Hammersmith Apollo to win £100,000, a Christmas DVD release, and the chance to headline a nationwide UK tour in September. Ironically, it's the kind of show rich for lampooning by other comics, and it wouldn't be motivated by jealousy, either. So far, laughs have been desperately thin on the ground in Jason Manford's talent show for stand-up comedians. Still, with £100,000, a DVD deal and a nationwide tour up for grabs we can only hope the three remaining contestants have been keeping their best material till last in a bid to win those all-important viewers' votes and the approval of guest judges Bob Mortimer, Johnny Vegas and Ross Noble.
