Love Long way round... i didn't watch the first one but am hooked to this one!

I watched Jack Dee last night... Russell Howard was alot funnier than i expected in stand up

[Jammy]

I gotta admit I do love MtW! but I agree it does sound a bit scripted, almost as if the panel are given the questions or subjects a few days early to come up with material.

Its got better since the first series, but imho these shows are all abit "same'y" still funi thou

I will agree, I only watched this as nothing else on was any good and it didnt turn out to be that bad in my opinion.

Jammy.

Raz said that you and her went to watch Dara O'Brian. Was gutted i couldnt go, what were you views of the show, good bits, bad bits etc. would you go again?

Cheers

Would definitely go again! If you've seen his DVD then thats exactly what you can expect. I've seen Lee Evans live at Wembley and whilst he was fapping funny, you got the impression that its exactly the same show night after night, and the same thing you get on the DVD (in which Lee is bigger than a matchstick on some far off stage). With Dara he plays off the crowd so much that I reckon you could go to the gig every night and be entertained just as much every night, and each show would be completely different because he has a different crowd to work off.

I paid extra and got 2nd row seats off eBay, we were right in the middle, right in front of him. I'd definitely recommend doing this, Dara was about 1.5 metres away from us at all times and even picked up on one my suggestions when he called for things you wouldn't like to see when looking for a new house! And because we were so close, and there was only one row in front of us, it made the gig all the more intimate, it was almost like he was performing just for the our row and the row in front, because you forget about all the people behind you. Would definitely go and see him again.

Jammy,

Cheers for all of the help and advice, appreciate it buddy , I havent seen his DVD, but by the comments you say above it sounds to me like it is definately worth purchasing. I have been doing my research and it looks like he is playing in wolverhampton on 31/10/2008 at wolverhampton civic hall. You be interested interested in going again Jammy? Could make it a TMF social trip? dunno if you guys do that sort of thing and goes to shows etc?

Just been on Amazon and order the dvd of Dara O Brian Live. It was £14.99 new but they had 1 in the new and used section that was new and it was £6.99 delivered so well made up.

Thanks again Jammy, look forward to hearing back,

that sounds like a Ross Noble gigg Jammy. Seen him loads of times now, and he is awesome. He will start on the crowd and although he does have his script, he will bring the crowd into it. He also tends to go off on tangents a lot. He'll start telling one joke then someone will laugh in a weird way, he'll pick up on that start taking the mic out of them, and starts telling another joke. He comes back to the original joke later in the gig. Awesome comidian though, very quick and VERY VERY random lol

[Jammy]

Haha, yeah, I've watched Ross Noble a number of times on DVD, I do love how he manages to keep track of what he was saying before he goes off on a tangent, then comes back to it.

[George The Mini]

Love it, esp Scottish bloke, but..... still not as funny as 8 out of 10 cats

MTW is great!

HIGNFY is amazing especially when they get Boris on

As others have said Dara O'Briain is amazing live, i have seen him twice in Eastbourne and both times were hillarious every gig is so different (unlike Jimmy Carr who is very good but is to samey after seeing him twice live) , Also off to see Frankie Boyle at the Brighton Comedy Festival later in the year

He is awesome. Go see him live, its much better than the dvds. Theres an awesome clip on pootoobe from the australian version of "Thank god your here". Basically if you havent seen the uk version, people get thrown into a set and they have no idea whats going on, they then have to get into charcter and be as funny as possible withing the storyboard;

heres the clip (stars with small comercial then gets into it)
