@@ryanjohndavies4092 Holy shit that's so... perfect. I feel like a lot of the British comedians, at least the ones you see on stuff like this, are like that. I can't stand the standup of James Acaster, but he's fucking hysterical in TV appearances. Same with Noel Fielding (Which even Lee said during this episode) is way funnier off stage. I wonder why that is? Is it something to do with over-preparing for a standup show, and then feeling at ease when doing improv on a panel show?
