Here’s the last graf from Dee’s UK Guardian review of Comedy 104 (from Topeka, KS, via the internet):
You’d be hard pressed to find a radio format less conducive to carrying on with your normal life to than a relentless attack of standup comedians. It doesn’t work with writing (well, typing), it doesn’t work with washing-up or gardening. In fact, the only thing listening to standup comedy works with is drinking. The laughter and cackling of a room full of drunks in some 80s New York club is an odd juxtaposition when you’re listening in daylight, going about your everyday crap – it’s like a little window into some hellish universe where people have got nothing better to do with their time than lounge around all night laughing their crazy heads off like it’s the first time they’ve ever heard a grown man say the word “cock”. I’m going to have to spend the whole of tomorrow with Classic FM to cleanse my soul.
Not so sure it’s a good review. It’s like sending a vegan to review a steakhouse.
