Maybe this forum may a tad off for posting about a stand-up comedian but figured talking about him is half-reviewing him.
Anyway, i think the man's a true genius. Not in the traditional sense of most; he's not got well rehearsed and heavily scripted witty or observational humour. Instead, he's a true comic energy. No show is the same, sure there's the odd repeated gag but he literally feeds of the audience. I've never seen a comedian who actively engages audiences members, encourages participation to the extent he does. His shows are, in the most respectful way, all over the places, taking tangents to tell completely random stories. What i love about his humour is that it's never vicious or tries to be politcally incorrect to get that 'shock' factor. When he does forget to be PC in the middle of a joke, he just tells the audience to "shut yer face".
My favourite Northerner. Check him out if you can, his DVDs are epic- i got Randomiser, it's 4 discs from one tour!
