    I found it disappointing.

    I think there's a glut of smug left-wing comedy these days, and I'm bored with the lot of 'em; even Charlie Brooker annoys me, lately.

    Maybe I'm getting old and cranky. :pac:

    It was poor enough - overly familiar and far too one note in terms of smut/swearing/scatology.

    Earlier Balls were much more eclectic and witty.

    Only enjoyed Sarah Silverman. Found it was too liberal, a bit dated.

    Cringingly vulgar. Especially in front of the American audience. Even Jimmy Carr let us down. Plenty of misogyny too which was an own goal for Amnesty.
