He's talentless and humourless, like Russell Brand, but Brand's fame is more understandable. He baffles his illiterate audience with long words meant for books not conversation, but he uses them in such a faltering unsure way as to suggest he's really just 'one of them' who happens to read a thesaurus on the bog. Who likes Amstell though?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23662827.post-91034841535870002242013-10-21T22:13:06.518+01:002013-10-21T22:13:06.518+01:00Simon Amstell is one of the best comedians around ...Simon Amstell is one of the best comedians around precisely because he doesnt go for cheap laughs - hes DIFFERENT.

Amstell is funny, he's witty and he plays on his insecurities to create a truly relatable and humorous show. He's funny because every single one of his jokes are true, they're based on his life. Comedy isn't just making up funny stuff, it's about the truth, so stop tearing down the true comedians and learn to appreciate them instead.devilchick94https://www.blogger.com/profile/16674793604083816222noreply@blogger.com
