There's been a good two-part Imagine documentary on BBC 1 over the last two nights about the "The Art of Stand-up". Features some good clips, and interviews with everyone from Mel Brooks to Jim Davidson! Some good footage of Eddie Izzard at the Hollywood Bowl in the second episode.

Links if you're interested:

the man is a **** of the highest order. When he's pissed and wants to show off to his mates, he verbally abuses his daughter (who works for him) and sacks her. If she's lucky she might get her job back within two weeks.

Didn't know about that.

Everything you hear about that man is negative. Story after story. A world class stain.

I love Louis CK simply for asking Donald Rumsfeld repeatedly whether he is a lizard :lol:

In fact Woodersan and the Nal, was in your fine city over the weekend, and spent a bit of Saturday night in International Comedy Club. Jarlath Regans christmas cards killed me :lol:

Jim Jeffries is ace, had a cig with him last year. That's not even good jj tbh, this is his most in/famous piece. It's quite long but well worth it.

Slightly off-topic (apolioges for that) but rather than start a new thread with this question, i thought i'd fit in in here where it's kinda appropriate. As such, does anyone have any knoweldge of a Johnny Vegas television appearance circa 1997/98 (probably a channel 4 showcase or something along those lines) where, labouring further the ice-cream theme he employed in 'whose ready for ice-cream' a few years later, he played 'himself' as a lovelorn comedian who was persuading his former friend to leave a career as an ice cream van man and 'do comedy'? I remember a scene where his character is in a park next to the ice-cream van and he launches into a tirade of "but you're not happy with this life" at his friend working in the ice cream van, there's another scene where he's at a shopping precinct (probably St. Helens) and, seemingly, pissed and approaching women at random? My memory is pretty hazy about any more detail but i know it dates from around 97/98 as I was living in Coventry then, yet when i look at any of his fan/wiki/bio sites, there's no mention of any tv appearances before c.2001 apart from being on 'win lose or draw' one morning in the late 90's?

Have i just dreamt this appearance? Or is there a Johnny Vegas fan out there who can illuminate me?

I think you mean this:

"The Johnny Vegas Television show"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0400557/

Around the right time and has an "ice cream man" as a character. Looks as though it was a 45 minute one-off

And I'm very sorry you had to live in coventry.

Nice one, that's the show!. Very much appreciated as I was beginning to think I'd imagined the whole thing (which given it involved Johnny Vegas and ice cream has fairly disturbing undertones).

It's a strange place Coventry.
