Episode Notes

I start this podcast by talking about the comedian I have seen the most over the years, Mark Thomas. I first say him on TV on a show called Mark Thomas' Comedy Product and I have been keeping an eye out for his live shows ever since. An, over the top, exaggerated example of his comedy can be seen here.

Then, I talk about the UK comedy legends Harry Enfield & Paul Whitehouse. I explain part of why they are as big as they are and then about the tour they did to support their tv show.

Finally, I talk about a show I first saw on the Royal Varity Performance, and then Live. it goes by the header "Comic Martial Arts Performance" and it is called Jump. The best way I can describe the show  is a combination of Dragon Ball Z and Kung Fu Hustle on stage. It was extremely funny and the Royal Varity Performance can be seen here.
