Peep show is amazing. Extremely difficult to watch, super cringey. Im surprised Mitchell kept doing it for so long as it lampoons him and his ilk so brilliantly.
 
It’s also just the desperation of comedians to be liked, to get the laugh. It’s pathetic and painful And actually quite sad. This is why The Office is the best British comedy, it’s about this

There was this other channel 4 one, sketch show, fairly recent, that was quite good. It had Banksy as a character, Altho that wasn't the best bit. Also a made in Chelsea spoof. I liked that one
 
Agree peep show is really great. Amazing format, stands to repeat watches. Only super Hans makes me proper laugh though

The thing I really can't stand about panel shows is the way someone will make a comment that gets a big laugh then act all nonchalant about it, try to stifle a smirk and sip their glass of water.
 
Have you ever been close up to a comedian who’s dying on stage? I have, watched the sweat drip off their forehead, voice shaking, pain in their eyes, lost. Mad experience, felt like I need to jump in and save him.

Used to love going to see live comedy when I was a teenager. Eddie izzard, Mark lamarr, also shooting stars live and bottom live. Bottom Live. Classic

ever get a big laugh or do something impressive and get lots of praise, then suddenly feel embarrassed about showing how much you enjoy the validation?

Basically the same story as at a friend of a friend's school (yeah right) where someone signed their name in the mock exam as Spartacus and the head teacher held a whole school assembly and said "Who is Spartacus?" even the same words as the film... who woulda thunk it.

Mark lamarr?!? Really, I had no idea. I actually went to see him twice, I thought he was so good. But the second one was all the same things, obviously. He was very funny tho. It was after he was on the word

The charges were dropped the day before the court case, but he was accused of assaulting and falsely imprisoning a woman in his kitchen.
