Pete, I don't think it is the future of Brit Comedy, I think it is the present, he has been around for a good few years now, have you seen shows like Little Britain or "I'll say Bo and you say Selecta", my wife not too keen on them though she just sits there and looks at me as if I were starnge finding these kind of programmes funny.

It's a cringe type of pleasure pain comedy....though I certainly got it a bit more when I went to Uni, and saw him in Egham, doing the shoot for the old folks home.....and he certainly has Staines down *l*

I tried watching Jam, but that series was just too out there for me.
The day today is still good for a giggle though, i will have to get them on DVD.
