Peter Kay is apparently renowned for that as well. He basically nicked Dave Spikey's act, which is why Kay fell out with him and everyone else he worked with on Phoenix Nights.

There was a story as well someone said how he used to adjust the height of the mic and somehow get it turned off for the comedian that would appear after him so they’d have to get it all set up and hopefully unnerve them or something like that. Actually, before I post, let me try and find...
Okay, found it. The actual link is itself worth a click as it reveals loads of goss about him but this is what I referred to:
In the book, David Perkins, manager of Manchester’s Frog and Bucket club, recalls how as compere Kay used to hog the limelight and sneer at the acts he was introducing to ensure he remained the star. He would also sabotage fellow comics by lowering the microphone stand and screwing it ridiculously tight, so anyone who followed him would spend the crucial first moments of their act grappling unprofessionally with the equipment. Graham Norton, when sharing a bill with him in Manchester, asked Kay backstage: ‘What’s the name of the gay area here,’ so he could drop a local reference into his material. Again Kay made sure his fellow comic’s gag fell flat, by telling him it was Bury, rather than Canal Street.

she's naturally very beautiful from pictures before she became ill. I saw that she is mentally like a child which is typical of someone who develops it at a young age, they stay at the age they became ill at. And I think for a lot of children that appear to have it all, usually that means parents working long hours and not having the same bonds with them, parents putting work before them, being 'bought' affection. All very damaging in the long run.
