Comedy?

I went to a comedy show in aid of orangaid last night (a charity to help orangutans in sumatra. I do not know what they do or how your money helps the orangutans as the person they got on stage to tell you a bit about them, told us nothing about what they actually do). I had been persuaded to go by the fact that Stuart Lee was down to perform. I knew there were other comedians on the bill, and if any of them were any good it would be a bonus as I knew I would enjoy Stewart Lee. They must have had a late change and they replaced Stuart Lee with some geordie fellow. So the line up was fat fucking Phil Jupitus, Simon Amstell, Kevin Eldon, Sean Lock, the geordie fellow and Bill Bailey to finish things off. I was distinctly underwhelmed. I like Simon Amstell on Never Mind the Buzzcocks and was looking forward to seeing him and he did do a fairly amusing few minutes talking about the tsunami. Kevin Eldon and Sean Lock also had their moments. FF phil Jupitus has apparently decided him doing poetry about the famous people he hangs around with is funny. He is wrong and fucking fat. And he wears stupid hats. Fat fucking stupid hat bastard. Geordie fellow was likeable but not very funny. Bill Bailey finished things off with his wacky brand of comedy and music. He got easily the loudest applause of the night when he came on and apparently was the big name most people were there to see. I don't understand his appeal. He is clearly very talented with his whole music thing going on. The wacky comedy just isn't very funny though.

All in all, a waste of £23.50... I don't think it is socially acceptable to demand your money back from a charity night though, is it?
