I was trawling through my blog reader and stopped by PTC* World’s to be reminded of possibly the greatest comedians who ever lived. It’s a funny thing comedy, ho ho!, no really. I can sit through an American “comedy” show, stony faced and wondering why the audience is standing on the seats, whooping like banshees, punching the air and screaming with laughter. Is there something off camera I can’t see, like a fight or something? It only takes the appearance of a star on the show to set them off. Even during Billy Connolly’s heyday, himself walking on stage wouldn’t have got me thinking “there’s Billy, man, I can’t contain myself, I’m going to stand on the seat and scream like an idiot!”.
