I remember watching the early work of Eddie Izzard and Ross Noble, and they were just hilarious. Now I watch their latest stand up and ... nothing. It's awful.
Why are their jokes bad now?
Comedians stop being funny?
They have run out of good material and now resort to unfunny exaggeration.
Either that or I am getting a cranky old sod that doesn't find puerile humour funny anymore.

Never found either of them that funny, especially Izzard; but have had friends of same age group who thought he was a riot so it does not appear to be an age thing, just doesn't click with some people like me I suppose.

Resting on their laurels?
