This was an altogether different act to the last show - Jeremy Hardy didn't interact with the audience, come on in roller blades, or change his outfit between acts. Rathery, Hardy seemed to have little structure and his comedy observations came out as more of a linked stream of consciousness - it was certainly difficult to pick out an scripted jokes. He must have been enjoying himself too, as he went on for over 2 hours, covering topics like politics, the middle classes and generally things and people that irk him. One of my favourite observations was when Hardy referred to Primark's all you can wear for £6 buffet! I have to say that I agreed with pretty much everything Hardy said - though I'm not sure all the audience did, I mean there were gasps when he described Princess Diana as a bad mother - too soon? There was no malice in what he said, but there was some vitriol and I think some of his opinions may have divided the audience - I though found the evening hilarious and intelligent - what other comedians use the word perspicacious with nary a blink?
