This may have been linked here before, but if anyone needs something to kill the last two hours of a Friday at work then why not have a nostalgic fun pun run compilation: https://soundcloud.com/grahambingham/pun-fun-with-the-bugle

So, Google is failing me - can someone clarify the "B-Bulls and R-Bulls" pun? I was looking for lists of West End musicals and can't figure that one out. Also, Andy cheering wildly at finding someone who knew him but not John was hilarious.

Isn't it something along the lines of: listing all the bulls from A-R. The A-Bulls are great but all the rest are injured. In fact, her B-Bulls are as lame as 'er R-Bulls. Stunning

This thread seems like it's dead a lot these days (like the podcast  ), but I thought I'd mention that last night's Nightly Show featured a segment with a bully that I'm almost positive was played by Rory Albanese, basically playing The American.

I blame John Oliver and his success. If only he didn't become so successful, having his own show with free creative rein after working hard for several years in a different country. gently caress you, John, where's my entertainment?

So, we have a format change. The Bugle is now a monthly show. If it means we can get back to getting full length episodes on a more regular basis, I'm good with that.

Basically the schedule is 1 Bugle, 2 Satirist for Hire shows and whatever additional bits Andy feels like doing. I'm cool with getting more Satirist for Hire stuff.

I think the Satirist for Hire material is Andy's best thing going. I've always been a little tepid on Andy's material at times during the Bugle, but there is something about the Satirist for Hire material that is much stronger.

I think it's the audience and the way Andy interacts with them. There he seems sort of like a 'wacky teacher' instead of the loopy friend persona he had with John. Also the 'audience' is more varied than John, for obvious reasons. Though I still think Andy's best bits is in 7 Day Saturday/Sunday. Lamb bikini clown 'tache.

John seems more himself on the Bugle, which is very entertaining, but LWT produces more substantive and informative content.

It doesn't have that rush of jokes after jokes after jokes that takes several listens to understand. It is absent in Oliver reeling from a bad play on words. It needs that overlong set-up for a lame pun or a lame punchline that you think you can see a mile away but then refuses to see because come on it's so obvious but then oh god he's doing it ahaha It lacks that certain...je ne Z quoi.

Rory Albanese was on the most recent episode of Harmontown. He drank some fan-made absinthe and hoo boy, basically turned into The American.
