Steph’s Daily Fix of Interesting

Happy Tuesday everyone! A bit about Charlie Brooker
Well last night, I had the privilege of going to the taping of Charlie Brooker’s You Have Been Watching show, thanks to my friend who works as a researcher on the show (WORK those contacts, WORK them). It was the usual set-up – Brooker as host asking three reliably funny guests questions on recently broadcast popular TV. The guests were all pretty well-known comedians, people you might recognise from that Comedy Roadshow that Michael McIntyre did last year. It included a luke-warm, fairly unsparkling guy called Peter Serafinowicz, that north-eastern comedienne called Sarah Millican who goes on about her “cake shelf” quite a lot, and then Reginald D. Hunter. Now, I don’t know how familar you are with his humour, but he upstaged the two others without really breaking into a sweat. That man is FUNNY. His delivery and timing were great, and you got the impression that he was really just humouring the lot of them by turning up.
Anyway, today’s link is a short clip of his stand-up act. Enjoy 🙂
