    I love Greg Davies, he never fails to make me laugh. There's something very likeable about him.

    Dara was hilarious. I would've preferred half an hour of just him really.

    Is there a better stand-up currently out there than Dara? I’m no gamer and I was crying with laughter at his routine. He’s one performer who never has to worry about overexposure as he ALWAYS delivers.

    Dara O'Briain - brilliant, Stu Francis - good one-liners, but that sort of stuff is best in small doses. Greg Davies - didn't click with me.

    Dara was great, as a gamer it's good to see it as the basis of comedy material. Like Dara says, the statistics don't lie - the gaming industry in 2009 took in more revenue than movie ticket and DVD sales combined. Now that's impressive.

    It's a shop window ...... new comics on the block get their 5 mins' exposure, kick starts their careers ...........

    Dara was great, but when he gets excited his accent becomes very hard to understand, which detracts a bit. The Canadian guy was great, and I regret not paying more attention (I was probably gaming at the time...)

    Dara was great as usual.
    Didn't think much of Davies. I think he's better as at sketch comedy.
    Like Francis a lot, but he just rehashed jokes from previous tv appearances. He'll have to get some new jokes if he's going to keep appearing on tv.

    Stand-up comedy from the world-famous Hammersmith Apollo. Scottish comic Kevin Bridges introduces sets from Shappi Khorsandi and Jack Whitehall.

    I like Kevin Bridges... he's really funny if you see him on stage and he and John Bishop are my favourite comedians
    at the moment... even their distinctive Glaswegian and Scouse accents set me off!!! :D

    The Scots have some great great comedians, don't they?. Kevin Bridges is utterly brilliant. He really makes me laugh. Then there's Frankie Boyle, Fred MacCauley, and not forgetting Billy Connolly of course.

    I can't stand Kevin Bridges, I don't what it I just don't like him, don't find him funny either, always had a soft spot for Shappi, nice to see she's finally doing some new material, and Jack Whitehall is just a d*ck. So only watching Shappi's bit.

    I liked Kevin, thought Shappi was pretty poor (some of her punchlines I saw coming a mile off) and while I don't mind some of Jacks' material I find his high drama, mental breakdown on stage delivery a bit annoying.
