Stand up is a weird one for me. If I could name one quality about myself it's that i'm by all accounts a pretty funny guy which would suggest i'm a sucker for comedy, and yet I (for the most part) cannot stand the slew of buddy-ish comedians that are taking over our screens one clique at a time as of late. It seems like every week there's a new quiz show where David Mitchell or one of his chums are the team captain and it's all painfully unfunny for me, with the exception of maybe 8 Out Of 10 Cats.
I hardly ever watch television and therefore hardly ever catch comedy/stand up that's on...Russell Howard, John Bishop, Sarah Millican, Michael McIntyre, Rufus Hound, Ed Byrne, Frankie Boyle, even the Yanks like Louis CK or Sarah Silverman...I couldn't recite one of their jokes if I tried.
I give you all this preamble because my choice for my all time favourite stand up show is a painfully obvious one which you'd think would be listed in the above...
Now, being from the North West this is already more relatable to me than some Londoner complaining about the Congestion Charges and maybe that's just it. Everything is so relatable to me on this one...the video labelling, the weddings, the way old women count your change out in the shop, mum asking you to give her 3 rings...
If you've ever caught Bullseye on Challenge not long after watching this you know he absolutely nails it and that's just the tip of the iceberg. I remember me & the family watching it when it first came out and i've still not to this day seen my dad laugh harder then when he spoke about dipping your biscuits in your brew.
Of course being a fan of Phoenix Nights, the Ray Von-esque DJ impression goes down a treat too.
Pretty obvious choice, but it can't be bettered for me...what's the best stand up show you've ever seen?
