He has a unique way of pairing up seemingly mismatched facts from a really broad area of expertise. I've also seen him bomb doing a bit like that, but nobody in the audience minded... it just gets brushed off as one failed bit out of hundreds during a show. He really is one of the best live performers. Him and Dough Stanhope. They couldn't be more different from each other, or more funny. ;)

Nope, never saw him live... he did Paris twice... the first time my son was being born around that time so never bought tickets (but it was a complete flop - Glorious tour) and the second time I had already moved further south to the coast...
Still, I love his continuous love/hate jokes of the French, especially the use of the "travesty" when he's on a french role.... (travesti == transvestite in french) simply brilliant.
How the frick he manages to go off at a tangent so often and remember where he was is beyond me!!
