Ron Burgundy Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 That's terrible. I found him funny and actually met him a few years ago during the festival. He bought me and my mate a pint and chatted for about 20 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw him live one year at The Pleasance, Lucy Porter 😍 was in the audience, mostly wiping tears from her eyes. Probably doing the same today.

Victorian Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 A natural funny guy instead of some of the contrived comic acts among his peers. I think he would have been just as funny as a normal guy if he wasn't a comedian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
