WHO DO YOU LIKE AND THAT
I've got tickets for Simon Munnery and Tony Law's tours later in the spring. Haven't seen either in the flesh before so I'm looking forward to that.
I finally got to see the Lost Voice Guy perform at a comedy club night last week, he was excellent. Lots of funny insightful material crammed into a 10 or 15 minute slot. There were people near me grumbling that people were only laughing and applauding so much because he's disabled and it was from sympathy but they'd been creased over at the previous act who mainly told rape jokes in a slow voice. That guy went down a storm too but his material was a) not very funny and b) really obvious. Still friday night audience in newcastle, what did i expect.

I've been enjoying the metal stylings of Andrew O'Neill a lot recently as well. I thought he was a bit silly at first with the songs and that but once I embraced it it all made sense and I fell in love.

and obviously this being DiS - I think Stewart Lee, Richard Herring, Robin Ince and Josie Long are all good as well.
