The original radio shows of Count Arthur Strong are piss funny as well.

I heard from a few people the radio progs were tip top so I watched a couple eps of the TV series - sadly, thought it was bab-pant.

Is it totally different from the radio, or just not transfer well?

I haven't watched the tv programme but I've heard it's very different. The radio programme has me in fits.

I think from reading up it's sort of watered down the character and made bland for tv. His live stand up shows are hilarious as well.

It's what happens when comedy goes main-stream Walt - remember young Vic & Bob on Channel 4 in its early, anarchic days? The beeb got hold of 'em and watered them down to pale imitations of themselves.

True but some of the Smell Of R&M was very much in the class pile.

Shooting Stars was alright for the first couple of series too, but then turned all tired and ****tington

I'll have to check 'em out.

I think it was on pre-watershed, 8pm mainstream slot. Perhaps not ideal ground in the first place?
 
In no particular order
Morecambe and Wise
Barker and Corbett
Peter Kay
Eddie Izzard
Julian Clary
Count Arthur Strong
Sarah Millican
Victoria Wood
Dylan Moran

I think that about covers it - oh and that woman who does the impression of Sean Spicer on the American Satire show

I like a fair bit of his writing, but wasn't a fan of his stand up.

Having said that, he did a routine a few years ago when there was a popular trend for home phones that were designed in novel shapes such as Disney characters.

He went off on one of his rants, that included a line about it being impossible to have a serious phone conversation when you're talking to Snoopy's bollocks. :emoticon-0102-bigsm
