Yeah he's good. I watched his stand up show on Netflix, very clever stuff.

Big big fan, love his style.

Have you seen him singing his Kettering Town song? Absolutely hilarious.

Got his book Classic Scrapes on the Kindle for 99p - well worth picking up. First half of it I had tears streaming down my face, does fade in the latter stages though.

He has been on "Mock the week" a few times his deadpan style is very good and sometimes quite surreal in his humour...

Yes definitely one of the better ones in the current crop

He also hosts a show called Hypothetical on Dave, but I watch that depending on who the 4 'comedians' (guests) are.

I enjoyed him on Mock The Week and Taskmaster so gave his Netflix stand up series a watch. Thought it was really funny. His deadpan style is great and the callback humour always takes me by surprise (in a good way).

He has a podcast too with Ed Gamble called Off The Menu which is worth a listen

Started watching him after a few too many beers a month or so ago and didn't really find him funny. This post made me decide to go back and give his Netflix shows another go. Glad I did, one of the best days at work I have had in a while with him on in the background.

Thought I’d give his show a go following the recommendations on here. Glad I did thanks. He’s very good.

No problem!

Anyway, I was meaning to say that Repertoire on Netflix is excellent.
