the tour was awesome, saw him last friday in adelaide.

[stan1ey2002]

I'd be interested to know what Ferrino moterial he performed? Was this new material or the stuff from the previous tour? (He didn't perform Ferrino material in the UK). Thanks

[deathmetalcorpse]

hope he dont do a partride film i dont think it will work too well but really hope he does another series on tv

[88adamjohn]

Is it bad that I prefer Alan to Steve...haha

[squidfanny]

Oh, for fuck-sake.... Please don't re-make Alen Partridge for the yanks. It'll be terrible, just like every other dumbed down version of British shows

(continued)

With that said, don't translate him to the States, leave him in the UK where his comedy doesn't need to be dumbed down/altered. He's a natural at what he does and how he does it, don't try to force a square peg into a round hole. He's under utilized in the States because American audiences will not understand his basic shtick because it's honestly too clever for what people here are conditioned to look for in comedy, that's why the UK's office dumps on our version.

[CelphProclaimed]

I'm from the States and I love Coogan and I love Partridge, I got turned onto him after seeing a review for The Trip w/ Rob Brydon and I've been off and running ever since, I have both series of I'm Alan Partridge on DVD and KMKY with Alan Partridge also, through that is where I've found other great TV from the UK like Brass Eye, FNw/ Jonathan Ross, The Graham Norton Show, and panel shows like Mock the Week that we don't have at all over here (continued...)

[83RockaRolla]

They shouldn't "transfer" British comedy shows to appeal to an American audience, no matter how British the show is. I'm not a Brit -but also not an American- and I love British shows just the way they are, because those characters, actors, stories, jokes, etc. are exactly what make shows such as Steptoe & Son, The Goodies, It Ain't Half Hot Mum, The Young Ones, Only Fools And Horses, etc. so great.

JR is being a bit of a tit Coogan is great!

[pennydesouza]

@pancakeday2006 Yeah - most of the comedians that JR interviews seem to dislike him.

[pancakeday2006]

You can sort of tell how much they dislike one another.

[Tricky898]

@SSJ2Killua He sounded like Terry Tibbs

@QRF11B it's "couldn't care less". regardless, i think you know what i'm saying is correct. to search a clip with the intention of making a negative comment, rather than to watch it tells me all i need to know.
