    He's hysterical. I've seen him twice over the years live and he was brilliant both times. I wanted tickets to his latest one but it was sold out instantly.

    I dont' recall seeing any chav's either. :rolleyes:

    I just don't see what's funny about him, and his stand up. In fact it makes me feel uncomfortable to see just how much he sweats in a nice suit, when he's on stage.

    I loved him (and Nathan Lane) in Mousehunt, and he was okay in Something About Mary.

    Apart from those two films .... :yawn::sleep:

    He was also great in Funny Bones

    Not my cup of tea. I prefer my comedians to "say" funny things rather than act them out in a spasticated fashion.

    LOL :D
    Also, I agree!

    I don't know why people can't accept that comedy is personal, I may find something funny that others don't and they find things funny I don't, doesn't mean I'm right they are wrong. It's just personal. I don't like Billy Connolly but he is seen as the best comedian out there. Doesn't mean I think people who like him are fools.

    And I find Lee Evans brilliant.

    Always feels like a time warp when old threads are given a new life lol.

    Positives - he's a brilliant comic actor - his stint in Doctor Who and in the Mighty Boosh are really good pieces of work.

    Negatives - his stage show is so horrifically bad it makes me cringe, as opposed to just not laughing.

    It's an awful thing to say but his sweating makes me feel sick, and it puts me off watching him. I know he can't help it but I find it so distracting and unpleasant.

    This ^^^^ I just can't get past the sweating.

    He sweats like a man who's been taking pure cocaine on a scorching hot day. It's uncomfortable to watch.

    Like lots of you, i enjoy his film and tv work, but not his stand up.

    He seems like a nice man though.

    So four years after the original post we still await a definitive answer.

    I think he's hilarious but he needs to update his material.
