His Delboy sketch yesterday wasn't very funny in the end - he laboured it a bit too much.

It did go on a bit...I turned over after he'd been lying on the floor for 10 minutes.

I quite like Marcus Brigstock too. Can be very funny when he's on The Now Show on Radio 4. My only gripe is when he turns up on crap shows like Hole in the Wall seeking publicity. He may not have a massive profile, but he's much too talented to be on that pile of tulip!

Yep definately stuff on radio is better. There is a fine line between "raising profile" and selling out....he has to be careful not to step over it! I suppose that's why Lee has never been "mainstream" - he, like Hicks, refuses to sell out at all.

The "rap stars" bit last week was the same for me - "you know them, they hang out .... etc "

Yep, see Lee Mack, a very good stand up but rubbish in Not Going Out.
IMHO, Boothby Graffoe is one of the best stand ups never to make it big
