Have you ever seen Alan Carr's stand up? I shall re-enact it for you just incase you haven't:

Curtian goes up.....

Alan minces around on stage in an over enthusiastic camp manner in the style of Graham Norton and countless others. He may as well have the fact hes *** written on his forehead and that would save the entire first half hour of his act.

Alan will now undoubtedly talk about his father. "Im ***, therefore a disappointment." "My father hates me." etc etc.

Probably something to do with his dad wanting him to play football but he just loved to dance.

Curtain goes down. The end.

Come to think of it, it's a good job he's *** or he'd have no material.

One of my favorite characters, Tobias Funke:
Arrested Development is certainly one of the examples I would use of great American comedy. Great stuff.

And I can't even use the word g a y on this board?
