Stewart Lee, obvs. I'm off to see him for the fourth (I think) time soon, at MK theatre. Tickets available, but only on sale to The Metropolitan Liberal Elite, naturally.

Saw him last night. He was on top form (much better than the covid delayed show last year at the Royal Festival Hall). There was even a heckler (not something comics have to deal with much, once moving off the comedy club circuit to the theatre circuit, a point SL made last night) and it was chilling how he dealt with him. Not with a "mad bantz" response but with silence and time.

Overall, the show is superbly structured to give you a comedy act but at the same time to show the workings. A bit like if a magician told you how he was performing the magic trick whilst he was doing it.

Not to everyone's taste of course, but if you like him, you really like him and he's great right now.

Seeing him tonight.


There's a filmed performance of this show on the Sky Comedy channel at 9 tonight.

Mark Simmonds. Currently touring (but no dates near here, thus far). King of one liners. Superb timing. I've seen him 3 times (twice at the Fringe and once in the Red Dot bar). You'll laugh non stop.


I saw him again this week at The Stables. Seriously funny. Non-stop funny. And he's developing his craft too, so as well as the endless stream of one-liners, there are links back to earlier bits, lots of interaction with the audience and the occasional use of uncomfortable pauses (hello Stewart Lee!). He builds great rapport with the audience and looks like he's really enjoying himself too. At the end, he stood in the foyer thanking people for coming.

If you get the chance to see him, take it.

P.S. His support act is his mate Danny Ward. He's pretty good too.
