Davidson, Godley & Canadian cottage misunderstanding

The final show I saw at the Edinburgh Fringe last night was Jim Davidson's No Further Action which I really do have to say was an utterly brilliant, flawless hour of comedy. Genuinely, utterly brilliant. It knocked most other Fringe comedy shows into the amateur starters section.

Rayguns Look Real Enough: Heading for the Hall Of Fame?

Rayguns Look Real Enough are back in Edinburgh with their unique blend of mash-up rock and tiger suits (well, just the one tiger suit in fact). And this time they're heading to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Maybe. Well, they've definitely named their show 'Hall Of Fame'. ThreeWeeks found the band's stars Ray Gun and Luke Reel at the bar and asked them some quick questions.

Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy, TV review

Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy 2: Tales from Painted Hawaii is fun for all the family with a multicoloured set that Nickelodeon would deem too garish. Visually, it's a meticulously fashioned delight - as you'd expect from the man with that haircut. Credit for this should also go to Fielding's long-time collaborator, Nigel Coan. As a sketch-show animator, he's proving himself a worthy successor to the Python's Terry Gilliam.

Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy: 'best watched driunk'

I like Noel Fielding's comedy so much that sometimes I am embarrassed by its periodic bathos - attempts at jokes that trip and fall flat. But the hit rate is pretty high. What is there to like? Principally the puppet-like masked disguises which produce a surreal other-worldliness against which the jokes are set. I also like the voices and daft songs.

Noel Fielding interview

In the new series I've been concentrating a bit more on letting other people play the characters - I mainly just play the coffee shop worker, who's basically a fictionalised version of me.
