    again I loved the stand up, but after watching the whole series, I have to ask what the fuck they were thinking with the sketch material? it is painfully unfunny 99% of the time.

    I love that fact that he's both funny and clever, always a good combo, but then I think sometimes he gets a bit TOO clever and it becomes self indulgent and overly mannered, but I'll forgive him that - but then the sketches are so knowing, mannered and indulgently intellectual as to be rendered completely mirth-free, which is not advised for a comedy half hour, imo.

    overall I'd say a 6 or 7 out of 10, when it could easily have been a 9

    • if it was just him. its not as if he doesn't have a half hour's worth of material weekly surelykelpie
    • I agree about the sketches, I'd rather it was just his standup.
      But I think his analysis of his jokes is the funniest stuff      BaskerviIle
