    This guy may have the best delivery of almost any comic I've ever seen. As an American, so much of this material is esoteric to the UK and about subject matter completely unfamiliar to me, and I'm still falling off my chair listening to it...

    i have been to quite a good "big name" comedians shows in my home town of Oxford, UK f over the last 30+years. Simon was the introductory (warm up) artist for a couple of those shows. In my experience, I have to say, every show he 'warms' up has been an absolute belter. I'm not saying he is better than the main act, but I am saying you will have a fully enjoyable evening out if he starts the show. Not all warm-up acts can do that. It's like two gigs into one. Harmless silly jokes that catch you a bit off guard. Vocal style is a lesson to be learned here. He always winds down the projection and presence as the story ends. funnier and funnier per line. it's as tho he is giving way (yielding to ) audience volume. The joke is finished quietly with a fantastic punchline, audience roaring with laughter... then.. Bonk! Hits you with an even better punchline. Take your spare set of sides if you are lucky enough to watch perform live, the first set will be split !
