David Woodhead (NT) - 2016 RAW Comedy National Grand Final

This guy is young. He may still be developing his skills but I don't think he's there yet. If I went to a live comedy festival to see an unknown comedian then you could do a lot worse, but he's not really any better than average. Funniest line was how it was awkward to be 17 and look like a pedophile. It's early on and I thought it might going places, but unfortunately it didn't. Locals shouting about parking spots and his mother cupping his balls didn't really do it for me.

I thought this was very amusing but it was heavily rehearsed and highly produced. They must have worked damn hard and for a damn long time to get this looking like it does and the best it can do is some douche bag on the internet calls it "very amusing". I liked the alchemy song a lot and the rest was decent, but I just think that there are much funnier things out there.

Bill Burr 2017 How much can a Gorilla Bench

I've heard of Bill Burr but had never heard any of his work before this. He's clearly a talented comedian but this clip left me wanting. I don't think it's him, I just think there are better clips to pick perhaps. I thought the tangent about the crowd's reaction to the cat and the sign language at the end were definite highlights but the rest of it was a bit meandering. Perhaps if I knew him better I'd find the rest of it funnier too. But on the plus side this definitely makes me want to check out more of his stuff.

I thought this was hilarious. Really funny clip and just what the internet was made for. I thought this a couple of months ago when I first saw it and posted it in the PUB. spurs doesn't really frequent the PUB (ironically) so this is clearly a case of great minds thinking alike but I still can't help feeling like it would score higher if this was the first time I'd seen it. It's a great clip though and I'd encourage everyone to watch it. It's not long and a description/analysis of it won't do it any favours. Starch Masks is great.

Bill Burr again. This clip is much funnier though. He gets on a great rant, is kinda edgy but can back it up with funny justification. It's what I like in a comedian and he's a natural at it. Definitely gonna check out more of his stuff after this is over. I also think that he looks like Joel McHale got cancer.

Wayne & Shuster - Question Time (excerpt)

I started to watch this and was convinced that I'd find it boring and unfunny. One minute in and I'd seen nothing to change my mind, but shortly after this I began to warm to it. It made me smile more and more. Old jokes but perfect delivery and I loved the "yak, yak, yak" and slapping of the desk to accent the jokes. Really well constructed sketch. I must admit that immediately after it was finished I wanted to watch it again and I did. This is just like The Two Ronnies or Morecambe and Wise to me. Perhaps I'm sentimental for that sort of stuff. I'm sure there are many people who will watch this and can't believe that this is first and don't find it funny in the slightest but it's warming and wholesome and I like it a lot. First place
