so many views and opinions here that you might start to believe that people actually have different tastes
I saw Alan Carr in the comedy tent at Leeds Festival over ten years ago and he was hilarious, maybe i caught him on a good day. I certainly caught him at the optimum point in his career for my tastes and it's unlikely that i would buy tickets to see him now.
I've seen Phil Jupitus twice at the Fringe. The first was his return to stand up and was top class stuff. Carefully crafted and really well delivered. The next year, hmmm, not so much
Had i seen the second gig first i wouldn't have seen him twice, but now i'd book again.
maybe we need a thread along the lines of
"If you like X then you are likely to appreciate Y"
