Went to see him last night, and forgot how amazing he is. Not many people do physical comedy as well as he did. What really made the night for me is him doing Bohemian Rhapsody, which was fantastic.

Oh he's doing the silent Bohemian Rhapsody again?

That is very good, a real treat to watch.

I can take or leave him, though some of his stuff is genius, especially Bohemian Rhapsody and the 'change falling out of your trousers' routine.

All new, well new to me anyway but i've seen most his stuff but a couple of friends who saw him at the 02 said he did Bohemian Rhapsody there, but i wondered if was a one off. It was so good, and my sides are still aching now from laughing.

Agree totally with that, couldn't sit and watch a whole routine of his but the 'falling change' one always makes me chuckle.

Lots of new material. I went to see the show in Winchester some months ago. He does a show down there when he is trying out the material ahead of a new tour, reading from reams of paper etc. Even with that distraction, he was still very good. Might go and see him again to find out what made it into the set, and of course to see what must be one of the best comedy acts in the UK at the moment.

Top guy, and very humble about his skills.

Yeah he's just a really nice guy. At the end of the show he said how much he loves his wife and familly. He seems like a really genuine guy.

he is a very nice chap, used to live a few doors from my future brother in law, and they always had a chat, met him a couple of times, he made me laugh by being impressed that i work in IT and all he does is tell jokes.

Phil jupitus on the other hand lives a couple of streets away is a right miserable, unfunny, up himself grump.

Pretty certain he did that routine when I saw him in 1994.

Yep, that's what I thought. Must try to see him again though, quality act.

Hollywood didn't agree with him then so it's back to the day job.
