A great show
I saw this show live at the o2 and was very impressed. However I am a bit disappointed in the dvd as I was hoping it would include the full show rather than an edited version in which some of the comedy genius is removed. I was particularly annoyed that the Bill Bailey set was cut short and they didn't even show the same material that was shown on the Channel 4 airing of the show. Overall the dvd is great and supports a great cause but I was unhappy with the editing.

Great selection of comedians
Loved this DVD as you get to watch a wide range of comedic talent in Britian at the moment. I loved the fact they included not just stand up comedians but slipped in shows such as Peep Show. This DVD will appeal to a wide range of tastes as there is humour for everyone- it introduced me to acts I hadnt really heard of. Jimmy Carr's hijack of the adverts is also a clever idea and i enjoyed the addition as i didnt get to see the showing on Channel 4. The only thing that seems lacking which I didnt realise until i read other reviews is that some of the show was cut- a pity but never mind- still a good DVD.

something for everyone
a great collection of fun and humour with lots of laughs. the best thing about this is the variety. there is bound to be something for everyone. although I am not a fan of all of the comics on here you just get bitesize from them all, so it is a good allrounder. keeps you laughing on cold miserable winter nights.
