UPDATE: It since turns out that Simon Evans has become a bit of a right wing twat. I didn’t know that was going to happen at the time I posted this, so no judgies, k?
I’m leaving this up because it’s funny, and it reminds me that while people can change for better or for worse, good comedy remains good.
Saw this guy on TV the other night and have subsequently been viewing some of his stuff on YouTube.
This 2:36 clip from the Edinburgh Comedy Festival sums him up nicely and is well worth your time and bandwidth.
And if that tickled your fancy, you can watch his 2009 Comedy Store performance here.
Brilliant. I think I saw him a few years ago at the Baxter’s Comedy Festival. He made a joke about how shaded his eyes look on stage. One seriously smooth operator.
I liked this too. I particularly like the bit where, if memory serves, he says: “But this is a joke.”
If he doesn’t say that in this clip, please accept my apologies.
Biobot > That’s him.
Brian Micklethwait > He does say that. And yes, that is the funniest bit.
