BBC Stand Up Show Live!

// August 24th, 2007 // Edinburgh, Festival Fringe, Funny

As the title suggest, its a BBC sponsored show, with more than one act. I went to a show earlier in the festival, but this by far more enjoyable.

1 MC – Jarred Christmas – Marvelous compare, I will be looking out for him in the future. Took down several hecklers with lightning speed, especially a drunken PE teacher who fell asleep. – 9/10

4 Comedians

Tanyalee Davis – Very funny Small Person (Dwarf in her own words,) very, very wrong and shocking jokes. 8/10

Tom Basden – Guitar based humor and IF Comedy Newcomer of 2007 – 7.5/10

Nick Doody – started off slow, but worked the crowd well enough – 7/10

Glenn Wool – He had clearly had a few drinks after his own show, at the Underbelly. Very clever comedian though - 8.5/10

Overall 8/10
