Quite. Not sure who is the better comedian.


I find Al Murray excruciating. I saw his show, and I simply left.

Humour is very personal. I have a long list of so-called "comedians"

I find utterly unfunny; Reeves & Mortimer, Ben Elton and Ricky Gervais
for starters.



My list is not very long, but Al Murray and your three are high on the

attack on someone else, invariably by a thoroughly nasty piece of work

You can say that about any fiction.

Laughter may be just some kind of nervous kneejerk reaction to stress. I
prefer smiling.

The moral maze is tricky one, but we went over to their place first and we
