Bill Bailey: Bewilderness
Jumping around from musing about the disappointment of Kinder Surprise eggs to medieval porn to men's tendency not to admit ignorance to a brilliant take-off of Chris de Burgh, which comes out of nowhere. Yes, Bailey lacks an inherent structure--unlike Harry Hill or Al Murray--so you could walk in half way through and not miss any underlying subtleties.

Brendon Burns: So I Suppose This Is Offensive Now
Should you really bother giving a homeless guy five pence? When some handy advice would probably be more useful yet equally resented? Does all cultural identity fundamentally suck? Is it sexist to hate women? Have you spotted the inherent Socratic irony in any of these questions, laughed then secretly given the question more credence than it deserves?, I would say "then this is the show for you"
