Why do some comics make it big and not others?

There are all sorts of comedians I thought would make it but for some reason or other didn't. I tipped Marc Wootton for stardom in the Evening Standard so often it started to become embarrassing. People probably thought we must be related. I also think Boothby Graffoe could have been a mainstream star. Even Addy Van Der Borgh could have been a Saturday night shiny-floored clown. But for some reason none of these people made it as big as I expected. There is still time I guess. Maybe not enough time to get to the O2 this Friday, but there is always next year.

PK max: with the double whammy of Car Share and Cradle to Grave, 2015 was a big year for the creator of Phoenix Nights. Here's an extensive and (vitally) channel-neutral retrospective of Kay's career, hosted by the man himself. The net is cast widely enough to include chatshow appearances and charity music videos, and with five more episodes to come, it might even dig all the way back to his often forgotten and brief stint hosting The Big Breakfast in 1998.
