I'm sitting here in stunned disbelief at a new stand-up comedy show called "Out There" in which various stand-up comedians, instead of telling jokes from behind a microphone, tell individual jokes in various everyday locations - in a park, walking down the street, sitting in a pub or a cinema, etc. I have absolutely no idea why this format was ever even suggested, never mind adopted. It adds absolutely nothing to the comedy experience: in fact, it removes almost everything from it.
As if that were not bad enough, the overwhelming majority of the jokes are ones we've heard before and, to add insult to injury, they are in many cases probably the weakest jokes these comedians have ever told. In fact, in many cases, they are the weakest jokes anybody has ever told.
If I had to rate this program on a scale of 0 to 10, I can honestly say that a score of 0 would be flattering.
