love him.

[Shaun]

at 11:20pm, that is.

I've evidently not kept up to date with this new series, partly because it was due to air last year and I simply assumed the worst (cancellation). I'll have to catch this on iPlayer. I bummed the first series like nothing else.

[Shaun]

I only caught a couple of episodes but have since watched a lot on YouTube. Only bought a stand-up DVD of his a few weeks ago (the one called Stand-Up Comedian)

[Shaun]

balls, completely forgot about this

last night's destruction of Russell Howard

[GypsyGoth]

He's very funny, but I keep forgetting to watch.

[Shaun]

tonight's the song about Michael McIntyre / observational comedy

[Shaun]

this entire Scottish/paedo/Braveheart bit was on his 'Stand-Up Comedian' DVD the same DVD where he made a comment about Eddie Izzard's "pretend spontaneity"

I'm totally using this as an opportunity to strike back.

[GypsyGoth]

The guy who is interviewing him sounds very familiar.

[Shaun]

Armando Ianucci (or something like that) - he's often on Have I Got News For You, and I think was in The Thick of It

[Shaun]

oh, he created The Thick of It

[GypsyGoth]

That's where I've heard his voice, on Have I Got News, thanks

[Shaun]

it's back soon
