Mr Brigstocke doesn’t have the wit and persona to sustain an entire show. Satire’s great, but it kinda loses its bite when you’re quoting five-year-old Now Show material. Arrogance is great, but it kinda collapses when you can’t handle hecklers who’re nastier than you. And ripping all hell outa yer audience is great, but when you suggest selling your wife to immigrants and meet stone-cold silence… And when Marcus gets on to American foreign policy and the EU constitution, I feel it’s all been done before. Brigstocke’s cool. And tenacious. But maybe he oughta step back and decide why he became a comic in the first place before launching more gags at us.

Saw this show at the shaw theater for the DVDrecording last night,and thought it was great! Andy Robinson did a top job as a warm up man, doing the comedic equivalent of a Goalies job (only commented on if they fail with no one caring they do well) on a night billed as a Brigstocke show first and formost. I thought Brigstocke's material was sharp and certainly better informed then half the audeince (myself included) and still recieved the laughter and often applause they deserved. Having only seen Brigstocke occasionally in the past few years I think this, as a DVD recording, can be understood as having a part 'greatest hits' element simply in introducing the man to a newer audience who won't have had the chance to see him live. The earlier comment about Bill Hicks is unwarrented, a slight aside is the only thing I noticed reminiscent, and was something thats more comedic parlance these days than an attiributable piece. Yes I will be buying the dvd

This was the worst show I have ever seen at Edinburgh. Brigstocks material was poor, second hand and ill-conceived. At one point, to my astonishment, he word for word ripped off Bill Hicks. Hackish and smug are the two adjectives that sum up this show. And I so loved his Edinburgh 'awards show' in 2002.

A comedian teeting on the line between genius and insane. His rants were fantastic, even the scene about immigrants wanting his wife, which only served to make people think about stuff they say about immigrants to the UK.

Great. Despite having used old Now Show routines, and thus being less topical than possible, Marcus came across as an intelligent and astute comedian and i greatly enjoyed his show..

A truly poor impression of Ben Elton. A dreadful experience never to be repeated.

Dire.

How he's managed to get by with such little talent is surprising. No stage persona and no natural humour.
