I thought that as well until recently. I was going to a comedy night in Nottingham with Sean Lock, Stewart Lee, Daniel Kitson and Ed Byrne, but when I got to the theatre Ed Byrne was replaced with Alan Carr (much to the chagrin of me and my brother). However when he came on and done his spiel he was actually very funny, the fourth best comedian there! (only because the other three are bona fide comedy geniuses)
