If you have DSTV, you may have noticed the nightly comedy festival on BBC Entertainment (channel 120). There has been a great lineup of comedians thus far, notably the quick-thinking Dara Ó Briain who I thought was most excellent. I missed it last night on account of going to quiz night at a pub in town. The toilets smelled of poo and peaches and cream, and the team next to us used Google to come second, so overall it wasn’t such a great night.
My mate and passive-smoking partner, Fayyaad, told me about one of the sketches he saw last night. He was laughing so hard that he could barely speak so my keen intellect told me this should be worth a watch – it was, sidesplittingly so. It’s a sketch by Welsh comic Rhod Gilbert on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow. Gilbert tells the story of the time he flew to Ireland and lost a handle on things when his luggage didn’t arrive in the same state that he remembered. Check it out below.
The comedy festival carries on until May 14th so if you’re in need of a good laugh, see the schedule on the BBC Entertainment website.
[thanks again, Fayyaad]

You’re entirely welcome, mate!
That was pretty funny and I can see how it’s your sense of humour (both of you). I haven’t laughed quite as hard at the other Brit comedian’s as I did at Michael Mcintyre when he did the whole traffic sketch “darling wake up these people are fucked” http://is.gd/bOlp8
I saw that last night and I couldn’t stop laughing! The luggage incident is something we all fear.
Don’t know if you peeps have seen this. It’s not related to airports but I think it’s funny nonetheless. Demetri Martin does a stand up presentation using a flip chart.
Oh, and if you haven’t seen Rob van Vuuren’s Love in This Club, it’s well worth a watch.
