hari has been shown to be a bit of a prat! 

[infrasleep]

Er...NOTHING Hari says or writes is true or original.He's a plagiarist and liar and also "David Rose". He's doomed to writing tacky novels like his mentor and hero Jeffrey Archer!

Ah brilliant. The only thing I'd say is that he talked fast, but then I do that as well in any public speaking and I'm not being filmed!

[ravingscholar]

Yeah, he was a bit nervous but, as this was his first stand up routine, it was rather good. I know I couldn't have done it.

The arms moving about seemed to be out of kilter with the jokes and hinted at stage fright. Don't know how many were present but sometimes a smaller audience can be more unnerving than a larger one. After all a smaller audience will change their moods much faster than a larger one so you must be careful with edgy joke telling?

Delivery could have been a bit more laid back but pretty funny
