41ST BEST STAND-UP EVER DVD The 2007/8 show was recorded at The Stand, Glasgow on April 7th and will be in the shops 31st of July through Real Talent.
2) THE TEN BEST STAND-UPS IN THE WORLD EVER Last year Channel 4 astounded comedians and comedy fans with the show The 100 Best Stand-Ups, a definitive list of the official best comedians of all time. Apparently it was based on comedy industry insiders' advice, critical acclaim, and public votes on a shortlist of 150 pre-selected acts. Now, I am a comedy industry insider, member of the public and critic, writing for The Sunday Times, Wire, Bucketful Of Brains and Good Housekeeping amongst others. And so I have arrived at my own definitive list of the best ten stand-ups of all time, based on my insider knowledge and a secret ballot of myself conducted by me. And then I have put them in a season of shows. I'm going to be do 20-30 mins of material that's brand new or so old it seems new each week too. This will be the best season of stand-up anywhere ever. And yes, I know there are no Americans." |
