He sells almost as much as all the other comics put together

Micky Flanagan is responsible for nearly half of all British stand-up downloads over the past two years, new figures have revealed.

Although only released in November, his special An Another Fing, recorded at the O2, has been downloaded 33,130 times – almost as much as all the other stand-up titles of the past two years put together.

To be precise, the title, which sells for £7.99 a time, accounts for a total of 46 per cent of the market.

His spokesman said the figures ‘aren’t bad for a man once described as an analogue bloke in digital world’.
