I’d like to see more comedic stylings on my idiotbox from this chappy even though his eyes are extremely small and he might not even be able to read this. 2 purrs and a meoww.
Why is the theatre (if that is what it is), set out like an American bar, with tables and lights on them for the customers but not a drop of booze anywhere to be seen? Nobody is getting tipsy while enjoying the show. What's the matter? Did they only receive half the instructions from Uncle Sam on how to set it up and having a ready supply of booze got missed off the instruction leaflet.
I find it interesting that the British comedians can joke about people from the various cities or regions in the U.K., and the audience laughs. I honestly think that if an American comedian did the same over here, the audience wouldn't laugh. I don't think that a jab in jest at the people in XYZ city would be thought to be funny. I seem to remember David Letterman apologizing very seriously one night after poking fun at the people of a certain city the night before.
Thanks for the comment Mark. I think it might to some extent reflect that the fact that I am very nearly a character comedian, right on the edge of a persona that you - or at least a British viewer - understands to be, let's problematic, in his attitude towards other neighbourhoods etc. It's tongue in cheek, in other words. I think if a comedian that was trying to be *likeable* were to slander other cities etc, it wouldn't work. Sx
Simon, Thanks for your reply. I should have added that I was in stitches and laughing out loud at many of your jokes. Your delivery is superb. And under British rules we all know that you're joking and teasing. ... then I thought of borrowing and adapting some of your material for my presentations and realized that over here you can almost only safely joke about one person, ... yourself. Even fat people jokes would probably not be found to be funny. These are just my two cents.
Always a great watch!
Funny. Was is there no full set of him?
the main man!
In my opinion Simon never gets enough exposure and instead we have to listen to Michael McIntyre until our ears bleed

Crikey! VERY fine; so saying, metric rules, in part because our American friends despise metric!
