Yeah, I saw Rob Newman live a couple of years ago and he was really good.
Saw Ed Byrne on his different class tour last year too, which was great. First saw him in 1997, I think, at uni; back when he was still Alanis Morrisette.
We saw Reginald D Hunter earlier this year at a comedy night my friend runs in Darlington and he was superb. Easily the coolest person I've ever been in a room with.
