Stand up Comedy Documentary Page 3

Jim, feel free to send me over any show ideas you have.

This one though wouldn't work, and thus ever be commissioned, for most of the above reasons. Tough Gig was actually a brilliant idea (in my opinion) that worked on some eps and not others. In fact, it was axed mid-series because figures were so poor.

Personally, I love the idea of putting a format or twist on a stand-up show, but sadly audiences - or at least mainstream ones - don't.

I guess tonight's Channel 4 Mash Up is the closest we will get to this idea.

I saw an American show like this a fewmonth's ago on sky about life on the comedy circuit and stuff, I was really excited about it but it came out quite boring. Just like the Curb your enthusiasm special Larry did before the show which is same thing and just as boring. But it is a good idea just hasnt been done RIGHT yet.
