The Beestenders sketch remains one of my favourite things. A joy of a performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3KDRKxUpjU Edit: On a Stewart Lee note, this remains an absolutely brilliant bit of his very specific brand of stand up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkCBhKs4faI Flint_Paper has a new favorite as of 14:31 on Sep 15, 2022 |

I've umm-ed and ahh-ed about posting this, but as yesterday was the 39th anniversary of the soviet nuclear false alarm incident, I figured I should  .After Doing Quite Well in live sketch comedy for a few years, I had an idea for a solo show about how mental health, toxic masculinity, and nuclear war are all weirdly connected (and, of course, talking about Stanislav Petrov). I spent about five years thinking "hey, this would make a really great show" and never getting round to it. Eventually, I thought "gently caress it" and in 2018 booked a slot at London's largest arts festival to perform it. At that point, I hadn't written a thing. Over a few months I frantically wrote, and ended up with a show that sold out its run. The video quality isn't great, but dammit I'm posting this clip as an "all-time great" because, to me, it is! After years of putting it off, I wrote something I was super proud of, and that had people coming up to me afterwards talking about how much it resonated with their experiences of mental ill-health. That's a hell of a thing to hear. It's not as polished as some of the things posted here (obviously), and might not technically fit the remit of the thread, but god drat to me personally it's an all-time great, largely as a reminder that I can actually get off my rear end and make something when I put my mind to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pAT8MZBxGs
