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.

Hence why I don't watch his stand-up shows

To be honest when it comes to Stand-up I'll stick with Bill Bailey, Billy Connolly and Michael McIntyre

I was watching Red Dwarf yesterday...... that's funny as well.... I loves Red Dwarf

I used to love Red Dwarf. I think I need to get the DVD's and watch it again because it's been years now.

Yes get the Red Dwarf DVDs.

The amount of extras on them is phenomenal

They are hilarious

Rimmer and Cat never fail to make me laugh

Oh really? What have they put on the extra's?

Lots of extra's will always help twist my arm into buying something I'm in two minds about or that I've already seen.

Red Dwarf WAS something I loved, even if it did get a bit **** towards the end and when I have put it on in recent years it's just seemed a bit stupid to me. BUT the episodes I were watching were later ones and I reckon if i watched it from the beginning I'd realise how good it used to be all over again.

Just get Gareth Marenghi's Darkplace and that is British Humour in a nutshell. Fantastic show.

I'm logging off in a few minutes and watching me some Darkplace. Every time 'Dean Lerner' looks off camera I crack up.
