That's OK - different tastes are fine.  I think the recorded shows are 
*probably* better than live performances - he's dyslexic, and apparently 
sometimes has trouble remembering where he was going.  That would be

But his run around the UK ("Marathon Man" is the series about it) was 
very good - not really about his comedy at all.
