Simon Amstell No Self

Admittedly curiosity alone brought me to see Simon Amstell. I know he was at the Fringe last year, but was not tempted although I did want to congratulate him on becoming the host of "Never Mind the Buzzcocks" with Phil Jupitus ('Waiting for Alice', Assembly, 'Trumptonshre  Tales' with Brian Cant Pleasance fringe 2007) and Bill Bailey (no fringe shows 2007).

Pleasance One was a sell out and his tickets are going fast with extra shows planed.

This bubbly, personable young man spends his hour explaining how we are all connected, we are our own personal gods and how we are to blame for our own and the worlds tragedies.

The packed house roared and laughed the whole way through the performance. Personally I found him amusing, but for some reason failed to see what the hype is, I get the feeling somehow I was missing the point as everyone else seemed to find him hilarious.
