The Laughter Track: Five Questions: Janey Godley
http://laughtertrack.blogspot.com/2008/02/five-questions-janie-godley.html
Thursday, 21 February 2008. Five Questions: Janey Godley. Welcome to the first in what we hope will become a comprehensive series of posts in which we ask some of the country's top stand-ups about themselves. And our first interviewee in the chair is Janey Godley. What made you decide you wanted to be a comedian (and when did you first decide)? I owned a bar for 15 years and left it in 1994. I only wanted to become a comic to get my Equity card so I could act, but I liked comedy more eventually. I am on ...

The Laughter Track: "Do you ever have dark thoughts?"
http://laughtertrack.blogspot.com/2010/11/do-you-ever-have-dark-thoughts.html
Sunday, 7 November 2010. Do you ever have dark thoughts? Alan Partridge is back, currently starring in a series of short online snippets sponsored by a certain manufacturer of cooking lager. The first episode. Bears all of the usual hallmarks and the addition of Tim Key as Sidekick Simon (". For some spurious banter works well. It's a little forced in places, but for the most part a very welcome return. Coogan has also returned to the mainstream media with new sitcom. 24 Hour Party People. Somehow the aw...

The Laughter Track: Quote of the day
http://laughtertrack.blogspot.com/2010/10/quote-of-day.html
Tuesday, 19 October 2010. Quote of the day. Before doing a TV series next year, Stewart Lee is setting out on an 18-date tour to venues where he believes he has a 'trusting' fan base — and the Regal in Cowley Road is one of them (typically he’s now not too sure about two other places, but it’s too late! Around Jongleurs nationwide would have been a more challenging but ultimately more rewarding venture? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Fat Cat Comedy Club (Bury St Edmunds).

The Laughter Track: December 2010
http://laughtertrack.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, 9 December 2010. Quote of the day. In the slipstream of the mass popularity of stand-up, even the person who is supposed to be the alternative to stand-up can do reasonably well. All of us comics must offer thanks to one man, and one man alone, for this state of affairs. Michael McIntyre. Stewart Lee singling Michael McIntyre out for credit (if not outright praise). Rather than damning him as the embodiment of all he hates about stand-up? Not something I'd have expected to read. Kill For A Seat.

The Laughter Track: September 2009
http://laughtertrack.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 1 September 2009. Regents Park Open Air Theatre: Daniel Kitson - Stories for the Starlit sky 30/08/09. Leaving this show had a feeling of bonfire night about it: lots of people wrapped up warm all walking together in the dark and quiet night away from a single area. In the middle of Regent's Park at the Open Air Theatre. The story that he told during Saturday's show was a story within a story, a tale of the relationship between a father and son intermingled with a story about a town where retire...

The Laughter Track: Five Questions: Robin Ince
http://laughtertrack.blogspot.com/2008/03/five-questions.html
Thursday, 6 March 2008. Five Questions: Robin Ince. He won the 2006 Time Out Award for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy, largely for his 'Book Club' nights. A friend of Ricky Gervais, he's appeared in 'The Office' and supported Gervais on the 'Politics' tour. He's written for 'Have I Got News For You', 'Alistair McGowan's Big Impression', 'The 11 O'Clock Show' and 'Dead Ringers'. And he's a thoroughly bloody nice bloke who can take a critical review. What's been your best gig to date? Kill For A Seat.

The Laughter Track: Know Your Enemy
http://laughtertrack.blogspot.com/2010/08/know-your-enemy.html
Sunday, 8 August 2010. Corporate Whores. Morons. Illiterates. There is so much good stuff you could use your corporate funding for, and instead, year in, year out, you make these crass decisions. The whole thing will blow up in your face. Then, perhaps, we will see an end to your nonsense. Your cynicism is breathtaking. Your Edinburgh Comedy God idea is banal. There are no comedy gods. Enjoy your Edinburgh Comedy Festival™. Stewart Lee takes entertainingly violent exception to the Foster's Comedy God poll.
