David Baddiel Live, Part 3

David Baddiel was a cabaret stand-up comedian after leaving university and wrote sketches and jokes for various radio series. His first television appearance came in a bit-part on one episode of the showbiz satire Filthy, Rich and Catflap. In 1988, he was introduced to Rob Newman, a comic impressionist, and the two became a writing partnership. They were subsequently paired up with the partnership of Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis for a new topical comedy show for BBC Radio 1 called The Mary Whitehouse Experience, and its success led to a transfer to television, shooting Baddiel to fame. Two seasons were made for BBC2.

After the two duos chose not to do another series of The Mary Whitehouse Experience, Baddiel teamed up with Newman again for the Newman and Baddiel in Pieces series, which ran in 1993. The duo subsequently split with some acrimony but only after becoming the first ever comedians to play, and sell out, Wembley Arena.

He should have done his old death records routine, it has people in stitches.

[pamlawrence1]

some of these jokes are very old and don't sound like his. the last one is one from every pub in the country. i don't think he's a natura comedian like rob newman

[Zeverynth]

Shit, is this crowd American or something? They clap everything.

He is funny though.

[V4Valmont]

he simply sucks.

Is there something more to the Plymouth thing or is it just that he regrets being specific about the location?
