Too right I will be. Simon Evans, Seann Walsh and Josh Widdecombe are the best comics working in Britain at the moment. Bring it on!!!

I have noticed that you say that about pretty much everyone, they can't all be the best!

I watched it but wasn't all that impressed. Simon Evans was good, but everyone else just seems to recount news stories with mock outrage/surprise rather than making any actual comments or jokes beyond the obvious ones.

If I'm honest Harridan, it's because I really enjoy these comedians, and very rarely talk about the not-so-good. Or if I do, I try to be VERY fair and balanced. ;)

I understand what you mean about the mock rage, but to be fair, the audience were laughing.

Off to see Simon Evans @ Chiswick tonight after seeing this show. Saw Josh and Seann few times of late at big and small gigs and enjoyed their performances but having seen them and their material before, Simon made a refreshing change. Hopefully we'll get more of the same quality from him later :)

On another notem, not sure how Paul C got the job of presenting this show, he isn't funny in the slightest. Smarmy and looks like he really fancies himself as something pretty darned special.....yawn and Sick

I agree with that
I find Paul C very unfunny & predictable

He ain't no Jon Richardson.
