Which is word for word how he comes across to me. - 'I am funny', if you disagree then you are wrong. Comedy is a subjective thing. Try all you want, you cannot make somebody laugh if they don't find something particularly funny in it's content or delivery. He has some comedic talent, if a little derivative and unoriginal, as I said...but not very much in delivering it. Which is why he might be more successful at writing for somebody with a talent for delivery.

Mostly ad-libbed & hid behind a guitar but didn't play any songs, just twiddled away and threw in a couple of things that came into his head. Had seen him previously and he was great, but this was an odd performance.
