Show 3: BBC: The Next Big Thing

One time BBC new comedy talent show that I was delightfully an unexpectedly invited to by a good friend. 10 acts hosted by Nathan Caton, who provided some fine compering. The ones that stuck out for me:
Nish Kumar - an excellent set with some fresh, non-cliched material considering racial stereotyping
Larry Dean - some decent material playing on gay stereotypes
Alex Edelman - a great set about the woes of being Jewish and messing with his family
Chris Turner - previously saw him at a AAA comedy show one or two years ago - he's still got the gift of making decent improvised raps on random subjects.

Overall, an enjoyable show and a great way to round off day 1 of the festival for me.
