😆 Comedy gigs - recommendations / reviews

I’ve seen Bill Bailey, Ross Noble. Stewart Lee i’ve seen many times, he’s a divisive character but brilliant live and also my fave

Stewart Lee often does gigs in a local pub near where I lived last year. But hard to get tickets. One I’d like to see including his old partner Richard Herring.

Richard Herring is great. He has a podcast of his interviews with various stand ups at Leicester Square …

Ah I forgot this one - Luisa Omielan

I was crying with laughter. But some of it was about mental health and was throught provoking.

Sort of went a bit viral last year with this sketch

Love RHLSTP , looking forward to his AIOTM which has got Kickstarter money behind it

I forgot Henning Wehn - hilarious!

Finally saw Richard Herring at the other Dave Gorman show. Will try and remember the other comedians.

So tomorrow night off to see Stewart Lee!

Dave Gorman thought the following were worth a view:

Sofie Hagen - London-based Danish comedian and podcaster. I am sure she made me chuckle a bit.

Jarlath Regan - Irish stand-up comedian and podcaster. Think we proper laughed at him.

Pete Firman - mixes comedy and magic. Sounds a bit cheesey but was really good at both.

Have got free tickets to see a bbc radio 4 recording of Rob Newman tonight. They oversubscribed so fingers crossed we get in. Saw him do the try outs of the show so we will get to see the finished product.

So after seeing Rob Newman we went to see David Baddiel My Family: Not the Sitcom at the Playhouse Theatre near Embankment tube station. As the title suggests it’s about his family, in particular is mum and dad. Mostly it’s about his mum. It’s tears of laughter funny, but also in parts tears of sadness. There are times when you can see he could end up crying. It’s on for a furthe 6 weeks and I highly recommend it if you are up in London.

I bought the tickets via a deal on Time Out for the matinee today. Ended up downstairs in the stalls for half the price.

Top Secret off Covent Garden is a great shout. Their new material nights on Wednesdays are a real bargain at £1 entry + whatever you think the show is worth.

The Rob Newman show on R4 (which I think is what @intiniki was referring to)

Ep1 only available for another 11 days

Stewart Lee tomorrow…

Shall I tell you his improvisations?

I’m going too :lou_smiley:

As well as enjoying Stewart Lee an awful lot this evening, just as entertaining was finally seeing the type of people in the audience he has been talking about for years, as the 2 people sat next to me (who were obviously there with very different expectations) didn’t offer as much as a chuckle, sitting stony faced and perplexed until they finally left about 15 mins into the second half. Made me feel all warm and smuggly :lou_smiley:

Sorry, I thought it was you sat next to me!

He just didn’t tell proper jokes, not like I enjoy on Mrs Brown’s Boys.

I was sat in the front row in the orchestra pit, it was a bit bizarre.

Shall we tell @pap what he had to say about Brexit voters?..

Or shall I just leave it that Mr Lee suggests that the Labour Party is led by Catweazle and his gang of furious tramps?
