I don't think it is as long a run at the Fringe as he has had in previous years. I think the old jokes that followed the mainstream (attacking the US) spoiled it a little. I had expected something a little more original, but it certainly didn't stop me laughing out loud and having a great evening.

It was a huge room in the EICC eh?! I felt a bit let down after going to see the show. Maybe because I had very high expectations going in there and nobody could meet them. But hey, I still laughed my ass off the whole way through - I was just hoping to be dying on the floor through laughing too much and breathing too little :) It looks like we went to see the same showing!
