Some more comedy festival business for your perusal:
Ross Noble:
- The Powderfinger of the comedy festival. Comfortable, reliable, occasionally predictable and if you're only going to limit yourself to one show you may as well play it safe, fuckface etcetera etcetera...
- Did a 'me so solly' impersonation of Lord Mayor John So which would've been howled down if performed by professional knob-jockey Craig McLachlan.
- Still has a meandering jigsaw brain that truly takes your breath away.
- Should really be doing something about that hair.
Sean Lock:
- Does a lot of smile humour.
- Had a 'funniest man in Britain'-type recommendation on his poster from Ricky Gervais.
- Is obviously friends with Ricky Gervais.
- Pleasant enough but when sandwiched between visits to the ever-lovely Kitson and the filth-pottiness of Mike Wilmot seems somewhat lacklustre. Not his fault at all really.
Tony Law :
- Oh Clem, you big spunk. You were so right.
- Initially worried when I read this: 'Saw him at Up The Creek on Saturday night - what a tosser! No idea, no good material, lost the crowd and was booed off!- John Smith 14.02.05'
'Amazingly funny. Half the crowd were confused and kind of silent. I and many others were constantly laughing. A must for anyone with a quirky sense of humour - Andy H 22.01.05'
I HAD NO CAUSE FOR CONCERN, PEOPLE.
- Surprisingly hot. In a, you know, Steven Dorff-meets- Beastie Boys-circa-1993 fashion.
- Completely, beautifully, wonderfully bent. I adored him. Go see. Trust the rock critic for once.
Demetri Martin:
- There is a new god. His name is Demetri.
- Seriously, you need higher praise than that? Just go sleep with whoever you need to to get a ticket.
Now here's one for the ladies:
*comes*
909 days til the next election.

I have Demetri's email address!
Oh, so does his website.
Quiet, you!
I was so at Ross last night too. Reliablly hilalrious. what was with the crowd?!
Seeing Tony tonight... particularly excited, getting my teeth ready as i type.
AND
saw Demetri last week... Hands off bitch, he's mine.
Ha! Well *I* talked to him at a party. He's useless with girls, as are all the members of his little gang (see also: David O'Doherty, Kitson, etc). Tony Law, on the other hand, commnds the room and every woman in it. Shame about the kids and girlfriend, then.
i only want him in a "i hunt and stalk comedians" way. in the real world he's too short. meh, i have high standards.
plus i make it a policy of never talking to comedians i've stalked. after trying and coming off like the world's biggest dick i've learnt to leave that be.
i've actually banned myself from the Hi-Fi Bar.
*hangs head in shame*
My best and I have banned our selves from the Festival this year. We have boyfriends now. We get in trouble when we go. And I will not deny or agree about the ‘Comedian Whore’ label, especially when they are British.
Was that Dmitri guy on the gala show? I think I remmber thinking he was one of those acts where 3 minute-ad-at-the-gala just didnt do him justice...
Its times like this I wish I lived in Melbourne...
Then you can sleep with them again while waiting for his show to start late. And then afterwards because it's too late to get to the next show. Grrr...
demetri is like a cross between alex dimitriades, my year 8 crush and paul pfeiffer from the wonder years.
HOTTT!
oh, oh, oh and just a little bit of tom green.
less hott.
Some girls think they're getting in trouble from their boyfriends for eyeing off spunky comedians when really all that's running through their boyfriend's mind is...
"Well I'm still young and liberated...I wonder if he'd be up for it?"
Unfortunately for the rest of the female populace Sherriff, not all men are you.
Or fortunately...
