Just got back from her one night only gig at the Hammersmith Apollo. I'd seen her on Johnathon Ross and 8 Out of 10 Cats and thought she was great. I'd only ever seen her before on MTV award shows. Then yesterday I managed to get tickets.
Great gig. Really funny. Slightly on the short side but was all gold..although the crowd forced her back on for an encore which she hadn't expected and therefore had nothing to say. She tried a question and answer session with the crowd, which was decent considering it was unprepared but some prick in the audience shouted about how the show was too short and he wanted his money back. He was shouted down by some surrounding people but I could see her face drop a little when he said it.
Great night overall though. And Noel Fielding walked right passed me after having a piss with my Mum's boyfriend. He then bumped into him on the way out, made his way to his seat next to Julian Barratt and tripped over someone. He was all smiles though.

She's a Jewish comic. It's part of the tradition to bang on about being Jewish, she does it far less than Jackie Mason or Woody Allen. More like Lennie Bruce, though not in the same league talent-wise. It's the same with black comics like Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Chris Rock...usually black culture is a big part of their routine. Same goes for Billy Connolly talking about Scottishness. It's natural.
