I saw mark Lamar in the buffet car of a train in the early 90s. He seemed quite sullen. That’s all I have sorry.
I once saw him donkey's years ago compering a comedy evening in London with Arthur Smith and Jo Brand. He was hilarious. The funniest ever with hecklers. So quick.
I remembered after talking about Daniel Kitson here (in relation to Peter Kay) that when I first saw DK the first couple of times he was supported by Russell Howard (who was embarrassingly awful). Daniel and Russell were really good friends and I *think* were flatmates. I thought it very sweet DK kept supporting his friend's career.
Funny now that RH is the bigger name, bizarre he has done so well on the evidence I saw. But DK has chosen the quieter life.
(I think RH is probably very nice, just I find him as funny as toothache and found the pairing of the two quite odd).
