Went to see Chris Addison at The Junction last night. We sat right at the front, which was maybe a bit close as you had to look up at him and he was really tall. He was sharp and very fast. I was impressed enough by him that I’ll be seeking out The Thick of It. He’s just a few years older than I am so I identified with a lot of what he said. He looks so young though for nearly 39! He made plenty of jokes poking fun at the middle class, in which he counts himself, which I rather enjoyed. The main message I took from his act – and I quite like comedy with a message as long as it’s not too preachy – is that we do moan too much; there’s never been a better time to be alive.
