I thought it was really good!
The sketches were weaker though and it would have been better as a straight 30 min stand up.

Maybe I was being a bit harsh in my viewpoint but I'll be honest, I expected quite a lot from Mr Lee, his comedy is usually of the sort that presents itself and if you're not quick enough to follow then "tough" is the effective message, you catch up or get left way behind. This felt like it had been sanitised and simplified for a televisual audience (which is no doubt has) but I generally prefer my comedians to assume a basic level of 'smarts' from an audience and work from there without concessions to the slower members.

I guess that's the price he pays for getting on the television. TMWRNJ was, on the face of it, quite puerile but it had a more ironic undertone that almost poked fun at the institute that put them there. I reckon that has a lot to do with proper funny, clever people not getting television work. I'm willing to take a small reduction in quality if it gives a taste of his potential to a wider audience. Given more freedom I'm sure he himself would do away with the sketch parts and push the material further, and I'm pretty sure having Armando Iannucci (producing, IIRC) behind him was a big factor in his return.

On a slightly related note, we've booked tickets to see Richard Herring in April. Not seen him since we went to watch TMWRNJ at Warwick Uni yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeears ago.

Well obviously not literally. I'm fairly sure his testes aren't cast from an iron-carbon alloy.
