I saw that interview on Jonathan Ross and have seen him doing stand up a couple of times on TV. I don't actually find him that funny, but he more than makes up for it by being such a decent and genuine bloke. I'd prefer him any day of the week over Michael McIntyre, who might be funnier but is also a complete and utter cunt.
Definitely. The best quality for a comedian to have is integrity and decency. I hate it when they are funny.
