At the interval my mate and I came out from 'Tornado' on a high thinking it had been an excellent hour, and while 'Snowflake' was also good we left after that second hour a bit deflated because we both thought it was the weaker of the two.

I think Snowflake slightly suffered from him having to rewrite it. I saw it when he first toured it and it was much sharper, but so much has happened since then he needed to change it. Not much he could do.

He's doing a new one soon called Basic Stew which seems like he's going for a real tight show.

Garrett Millerick has released a new special for free on YouTube. He is one of the best comics in the country right now. Highly recommend his stuff, especially his show 'Sunflower' from 2019 that's on Spotify too which is sublime and well worth checking out.

I saw today that Rhod Gilbert has cancer. That's a shame. Hopefully he can beat it.

I'm not sure if this belongs in digital art, AI or brilliant posters. David Reed has generated a bunch of standup comedy posters in AI. Some of them had me howling.

Watched Ed Gambles 'Electric' stand up recently. Really funny gig, though his stage decorations looked a bit like Sammy Guevara.

I'm sure there are people on here who are fans. Think this might be his first UK tour?

I saw Tim and Eric live in London maybe a decade ago. But yes, I think this is his first solo tour

[CAREBEAR LUVVA]

Eric's the funny one though.

Can't believe they're letting him out of the US after the #ElectricSun20 disaster.

Over the last two months I’ve been doing a stand up course with donations going to Cancer Research. I had the fortunate honour (or unfortunate responsibility) of going on last which certainly didn’t help the nerves, but the adrenaline rush as soon as I got that first laugh was unlike anything I’ve ever felt. Certainly something I’ll be looking to do more of, and I’ve been preliminarily offered a spot at a fairly established local night which is great.

Posting the video mainly to prove people actually laughed.

That was brilliant mate, really funny and VERY UKFF in places. Well done.

Well done you handsome devil, lovely set. Interesting use of a stage name to hide your real name of Slapnut.

That was brilliant @Slapnut! You looked so comfortable, more please ??

Bit harsh mate, he wasn't that bad.

I'm somehow going to only my first comedy festival in Leicester in February, mostly just to see Cheapshow Live but I might see another show earlier in the day. Any recommendations for others to see there?
