Marcus Brigstocke - Planet Corduroy
on DVD
(2007)
Starring: Marcus Brigstocke
Certificate: 
For those who have never seen Marcus Brigstocke's stand up show will find this show chronical a very impressive comedian. Some of his routines attacking the media, specifially the Daily Mail, will be a treat to those who disagree with its sensationlist writing style and claims. However, the pluses of Brigstocke's show are the same as they when he first arrived on our TV screens, firstly on Comedy Store, and then the mainstream break on Jack Dee Live At The Apollo. Brigstocke has simply recycled material that is somewhere in the region of 3 to 4 years old, and the delivery comes across as angry, rather than comical or deadpan. Another real negative is the feel that the audience doesn't feel part of the show, as if Brigstocke is playing to an empty room, and the crowd added later - there is no feeling of atmosphere. If you've seen Brigstocke stand up before, it will probably be a waste of time and effort to sit through the same material again told in less funny way. If not, by all means give it a try.
