I saw Adam perform a comedy miracle years ago. Early 2000's camden jongleurs. Really messy drunk crowd, super hard work for thr comedians that night. Adam was on last. And the place was just rowdy and chaos. Adam kept getting heckled. And he just savaged people. One shot kills. It got to the point where he was standing on stage like a fighter, and he was inviting people to heckle him, egging them on. And he nailed everyone with brutal one shots. It was quite amazing to see. He got standing applause when he was done, he just dominated the room with comedy. After seeing that I was surprised he never got a lot bigger.
I don't think I've ever seen another comedian think so fast on their feet and just not slip up once.
It was a masterclass, I'll never forget it.

I first saw Adam 26 years ago, and I still don’t understand how he has never received more mainstream breakthrough/tv work/recognition.

you should write to your MP about this very thing

[@cheeselovingtree]

Seems like it's by his own design. May be better suited writing for the big faces and quietly counting his tonnes of money!

Adam Bloom, before he wrote his book

Anyone who has to write and rehearse comedy can't be any good but if you can do it all off the cuff now your talking that's when you know you're funny

[@Stewniverse]

Might I ask, which comedians do you like?

[@garyrigby21]

@@Stewniverse loads, Stewart Lee, Andrew dice clay, Jethro, George Carlin, Harry hill

@@garyrigby21 all of whom sit down and write material beforehand

@@Stewniverse I know but I meant if you could do it all on the spot off the top of your head you'd be a genius

[@Stewniverse]

@garyrigby21 ah right, I'm with you now. I thought you meant all comedians who write are no good.
To be fair I think Billy Connolly was improvised I believe, to a degree. So is Ross Noble
