Good excuse to watch Dark Place again too! I havent, but a very good friend is a huge fan and said it was one of the best things he had ever been to.

That’s pretty much what everyone I know who went said as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted January 26, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted January 26, 2023 Yeah, I went to the first one, and it was brilliant - can only imagine it's got better as he's refined it. There's an audience Q&A bit that could fall flat depending how much the people asking questions can or can't play along with the character, but even that was mostly pretty great.

Factotum Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Yup I saw him and it was absolutely brilliant, You can tell he's back in love with the character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chris B Posted January 26, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) Basically, everyone kayfabes it and it works fantastically. Enormously fun show. I got my book signed, and he stayed in character for that too - so I was careful about how I said 'I believe you know someone who made a movie called 'Possum', that I very much enjoyed as well'. He said 'Ah, yeah, that. It was alright, I 'spose. I'd have done it differently, but what can you do?.'

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 27, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted January 27, 2023 The new Tom Papa show is quite good, too. Solid hand that guy, I always enjoy his shows and laugh reasonably frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 6, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted February 6, 2023 Rose Matafeo: Horndog was really, really good. Probably not for everyone but I loved it - very funny and energetic and the ending is brilliant. It's currently on BBC iPlayer if anyone's interested.

Merzbow Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I haven't been to a standup show in years, I'm thinking of going to Sooz Kempner's show in Brum in a couple of months. I know her mostly through Digitizer and Barshens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted February 6, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted February 6, 2023 Never seen her live, but she's pretty good on twitter. Report back!   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Will do. I think she's done a show all about Sonic the Hedgehog before and this one's more about the PS1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the PS1 show at the Fringe last year - it’s a good show, but don’t expect too much PS1 related material! Rose Matafeo is excellent.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 13, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted February 13, 2023 The new Marc Maron show (From Bleak to Dark) is doing the rounds and could be his best one yet. The stuff about Lynn Shelton is so, so good to the point where I have no idea how he made it so funny. He's one of the greatest of all time now, isn't he?

On that note, he just released a WTF podcast with him interviewing Jericho, Tony Khan, MJF and Eddie Kingston as he watches wrestling for the first time. Thought it was an interesting listen.
