Heard mention, and seen many posters, I have now experienced Michael McIntyre for the first time. 90 minutes of him, on dvd, at wembley.

@annapickard If you can get past his face, voice and mannerisms, he's a pretty skilled observational comedian.
Rod Begbie
@RodBegbie Yes, though I felt somewhat like I was hearing the same observations on the same set of things I've heard a million times before.
anna pickard
@annapickard That's how I've felt about all observational comedy since Ben Elton circa 1990. Especially Jerry Fucking Seinfeld.
Rod Begbie
@RodBegbie Yes. Frankly, any comedian that makes people sitting near me go "Yes! I like blow jobs/hate bad drivers/wear shoes too/etc"? Feh.

@annapickard And what's the deal with airline food?
Rod Begbie
@thegareth Yes, good point, I suppose the family christmas is too good a bed of Material Only Used Eleventy Billion Times Before to pass up.
