Press clippings
Lord knows there have been enough parodies of TED talks over the years, but this effort from Dave still manages to find some laughs in the format. It sees various stand-ups waffle on about absurd topics, from John Kearns (arguing against winning the lottery) to Katie Wix (How To Turn Around, All The Way Around In A Circle). No "talk" is longer than 10 minutes, meaning the conceit avoids growing tired.
