Where are all the comedians?
London seems to be bereft of comedians at the moment; the comedy clubs are churning out the same tired old headliners, if they’re putting on shows at all, there are no major acts touring the big city venues. Where have all the comedians gone?
Of course, I’m kidding. I know exactly where any UK or even international comedian worth his or her salt has headed during the month of August; Edinburgh. The problem is that since I decided a few months ago I wasn’t going to bother with the Fringe Festival this year, I’m now left in the capital without any decent comedy shows to keep me laughing. I haven’t felt this desperate since that fruitless search a few years ago for red diesel when even red diesel Lancashire seemed to have sold out.
I’ve been reduced to desperate measures. Don’t worry, I haven’t decided to get up on stage myself or anything completely crazy like that. Instead I’ve been sitting at home on an evening, watching all my comedy DVDs right from beginning to end, including extras, out-takes and commentaries. I decided to be a bit OCD and am watching them in alphabetical order according to surname. The problem is that my comedy collection is so huge we’re almost at the end of August and I only just finished watching my first Dylan Moran DVD! I fear this project might have to run into September. Only, by then the comedians will have returned and I won’t have all this spare time on my hands…
