The 100 Greatest Stand-Ups review

Despite probably doing exactly the same thing when you watched it four years ago, you are sure to shout with rage at the telly at some of the positions - Graham Norton at 58?! Lee Hurst only makes 96?! But the order doesn't really matter; it's just a good chance to see some great comics doing what they do best.

The Fattest Man in Britain was all about the suit

Should a thin man ever put on a fat suit? Is it acceptable for a skinny actor to play an obese character, given that it is no longer accept­able for a white actor to black up as Othello, or even for a white singer to black up as a white singer, in the case of Al Jolson?
