My favourite is still the one where the comic said 'I used to be involved in battle-scene reenactments,' and the guy in the audience yelled 'did you die in that too?'. Oh it was comic gold.

He had the delivery down-pat. I wonder if next month he'll be there again and do the same joke? I still can't get over how many people told the same jokes as last month, especially people who hadn't lasted the five minutes last time! They've had a whole month to think of something new, but, no, they obviously went 'This joke is funny, I just know it! No one's laughed the last six times I've said it, but dammit they'll laugh this time!'. Oh, and I forgot to mention that James and I were the heckling King and Queen last night! I started a 'booing' round on one lame guy, but the funniest one was when this guy (who used the same jokes as last month) swore at me (for yelling 'get some new jokes!'), and the whole audience turned on him and he got booted off five seconds before the five minute goal! Hahahaha! Oh, and James yelled out practical economic advice to a guy who was bitching about the cost of public transport. He yelled 'Get an Oyster card' (which made the audience laugh), and the guy got totally thrown. He stammered about for a bit and then was like 'uh, yeah, an Oyster, uh, that's a good idea, uh, yeah, a guy suggested it to me...' and then everyone started booing and he was gonged off. It's so cruel, but so fun! Yeah, he’d definitely been doing the same routine for the last 60 years. He had the delivery down-pat. I wonder if next month he’ll be there again and do the same joke?

Gah! He looked like a kiddy-fiddler too. He had so many great 30s one-liners, talk about snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory.
