Just didn't find Jason Manford funny in the slightest. Russell Howard was decent though.

Manford was really good I thought, Howard less so. But the only reason for that is, like Andy Parsons (and I also presume Frankie Boyle) he essentially works his set into Mock the Week, which means I've heard 90% of his materiel before.

Thought Manford was excellent.

Surprised at how poor Dee was though :/

Wouldn't be suprised if he was just going through the motions as part of the "handover."

Not sure what I'm missing with Manford then. He just didn't make me laugh.

Loved both of them although i'd heard a lot of Russell Howards material before, hope he doesn't do that when i go to see him live next week

i thought they were both very good.

has jack dee got other commitments then, or did the bbc really want someone new?

Dee is usually fb.
Go on TV on Demand (virgin users) and find him under comedy, (Jack Dee live at the Apollo).
The Jo Brand one is good, and so is the solo routine from Jack, in case you haven't seen the old one but are sick of his tosh performance this time.

Jack Dee and Lee Evans. How uninspiring.

More than likely that he will I'm afraid, it's why I avoid the Mock the Week regulars now - saw Andy Parsons last year and the little of his set I hadn't seen before on Mock the Week he promptly used in his appearances on it after the gig.
