“Let’s take a look” is my line? I almost died laughing. These two need to team up on a show somewhere, their comedy timing is fantastic

My Comment above applies to you

They've been on wilty a few times together, obviously Lee as a permanent, & in sure on qi

[@ltipst2962]

Agreed. Brilliant combo, would ofc prefer them to do less television friendly skits but together they're good. Chris is totally understated I feel, would love to see... Listen to him live.

[@lifesbutastumble]

I could see (no pun intended) a new sitcom with the 2 of them in actually@@ltipst2962

[@InservioLetum]

They've been doing English panel shows for years mate. They're a staple of English culture at this point.

[@tjlancaster]

There is no one on earth with better timing than Lee.

[@tarmaque]

That's because his brain works on average five times as fast as ours do. He actually has to slow it down so we can understand him, which makes the timing easy.

[@aerialarboreal9005]

@@tarmaque Did he tell you that?? lol

[@Twirlyhead]

Comic timing you mean. There are plenty of jazz drummers can do the timing bit. Actually, Mel Brooks states that his time as a jazz drummer helped him greatly in his comic timing.

[@jimc6382]

Or a faster comedy brain.

[@tarmaque]

@@aerialarboreal9005 We brushed elbows briefly going down a hall once. It was all the time he needed to explain the process in detail.

[@timhaslam4241]

Chris' deadpan style of delivery cracks me up every time & the chemistry between them is brilliant. hats off to Lee - playing the straight man is much more difficult that it looks, but he does it superbly. Very reminiscent of Morecombe & Wise at their best.

[@kurtsudheim825]

& he's not usual the straight man

[@Ethan-Entah]

Just rewatched it & I could hear morcambe & wise saying the lines with them

[@hb1338]

I laughed a lot. The best part for me is that it is an old, old trope, yet they make it work so well because they are both such excellent performers. A bit like Blackadder used to be.

The best thing is that off-stage, Chris is a solid guy too. I worked front of house on one of his tour preview shows this spring - alongside 30 others - and he was determined to thank and say goodbye to us volunteers before he left. Other stars couldn't care less or are only there for the totty, but he's a true, humble gent and I'd never believe a single bad word said against him. Just class.

[@Ulleskelf]

I saw Chris a couple of weeks ago on his tour. Such a great comedian and storyteller.
