Good read though the linked performance fell rather flat - it seem to be almost preternaturally obsessed with London bus routes, you would have to have an excellent set of diamond pickaxes to mine any worthwhile material from that particular domain and most of it barely warranted a chuckle from myself.

The self congratulatory estimating himself as one of the worst performers but coming out as one of the top three was a little hamfisted, and if that was honestly the case... I cannot even imagine what the other comedians used for material... a list of ones favorite mosaic bathroom tile patterns perhaps?

Comedy feels like writing, if you need to take a course it's probably just not for you.

If you don't think that was an impressive _first-time_ performance from a comic you are massively under-estimating how difficult this is.
Agreed, bus lines aren’t nearly as funny as subway lines: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mornington_Crescent_(game)
