I thought it was one of the best Edinburgh shows in ages - largely because of John who jumped in with great gusto, and was, I thought, very very funny.

There's a growing number of people who deserve another run aren't there - but he is going close to the top of my list.

I also thought Paul was the best he has been so far in the series. His double act with Gyles is getting very good.

I'm in two minds about Shappi. When she does speak, she is awfully funny. I imagine her stand-up act would be well worth seeing. But she seems happy to wait her turn an awful lot. Could we be seeing someone like Linda Smith or Peter Jones who doesn't say a lot - but when they do, it's worth it...

I guess I think probably not... but she does provide something unique when she does talk...

thanks as always for the file KJ

I have to say that I thought it was one of the best debut appearances I can remember - he was obviously familiar with the show and didn't seem overawed or nervous. There were also quite a few references in the show that may not be familiar to listeners less familiar with the UK - including a brief section on recent politics.
