One of the oldest arguments against bad language in comedy is ‘Anyone can get a laugh by swearing.’ If that’s true, then can I heartily recommend these people give up their day jobs, get on stage and start shouting ‘Fuck’. It pays well and you get to travel the world. So what are they waiting for?

If someone tells him some interesting fact, Lee will forget who told him and find himself telling it back to the person who told him in the first place.

He can make people crack. Which Lee sees as a small price to pay for being seen to be in the right.
