Big fan of James Acaster, saw him in a comedy club in London in 2016 before he was well-known

    bosstrabs me too, funny bugger. Saw him in the little room at the Glee in Birmingham doing one of his Edinburgh shows Recognise…probably around that time too. Me and my other half have somewhat differing comedy tastes and she was pretty stony faced throughout. Saw him in the pub beforehand but didn’t say hello.

      New Nate Bargatze is quite good on Netflix. As far as clean comics go he’s probably my favorite.

      Also on other stand up-news Jim Jefferies announced his retirement from stand up on his podcast. He’s going to do the tour he’s contracted to do, after you can do stand up in theatres again, so when he comes to London next time you’ll know it’s his last time.

      At first I was a bit sad, but his reasoning is actually solid. “I’ve done 8 specials, and I think I’m starting to repeat myself. And covid made me realize I like being at home and not touring.” His last special was shit anyway.

      Surprisingly, Jim Gaffigan’s 2021 special is spot on. The missus played it randomly and I found myself laughing quite a lot.

      Louis CK’s latest, Sorry, is standard Louis, in the sense he opens the thing dedicating the first 15 mins to pedophilia. It’s a bit meh, but I enjoyed the covid material. Found the previous come back one better. His website has a package for all his specials for about $25.

        rhouses loved Gaffigan’s special. Can’t watch Louis CK anymore. Separating his creep from his act is impossible for me.

            Homegrove tight set, and definitely relatable… something you usually don’t get from the big hitters.

            I’m alright with Louis, what he did was wrong, but I feel he got a bit of a raw deal.

              Brian Simpson on Netflix’s new season of Stand Ups is a very good half an hour.

              Homegrove he is playing in leeds next month and was considering going. not sure if the wife would enjoy it though

                  Me thinks not.

                  He hasn’t posted a single clip from Only Fools & Horses for starters.

                  I’ve not yet either, but Standhope used to be great, not sure of his current state. The one after this clip was great too.

                  Homegrove Stanhope is ace. That new show is surprisingly great as well, cheers for the link.

                  Tbh I’m surprised Hannu has the temperament for his comedy.
