Don't know what others thought but for me ep2 really found it's feet this week. Pleased they tackled the two biggest stories of the week - Putin and Jihadi John - and didn't try and duck them.
In fact my only real gripe is that there use of non-topical one-liners. Not quite sure why they do that as it detracts from the rest of the show and they feel out of place. Sure there must be enough topical one-liners from submissions to get 20-30 good ones?
Yeah, I thought ep 2 was much stronger than ep 1. Some genuine laugh out loud gags, so well done to the writers. Nish is a great host too - I've never really seen his stand up but I'll definitely go see him if he's on town.
Echo your thoughts about the non-topical one liners too. They stick out like a sore thumb. A lot of them also seem to be based on puns/wordplay - the type of gags some producers avoid like the plague as the audience groans rather than laughs. Personal taste I suppose.
