Andy Parsons spends a lot of his life frustrated – good news for those who enjoy hearing him vent his spleen.
You learn a lot about someone in a two-hour set, with the (surprisingly mature) audience enjoying every minute.
Aside from feeling frustrated, Andy's clearly very lazy. He told us so. I suspect, though, that he spends time in that shed carefully crafting gags and stories. They're constructed so that, whoever the target, we don't really get to feel he's having a go.
He'll slate the bankers, the Government and others with considerable venom but his incredulous tone means that he can make his point without being nasty.
The "laugh out loud" count is high as he tackles Andrew Mitchell's "Plebgate", the horse meat scandal and what Nick Clegg's police guard must have been thinking to allow an unpleasant package to be posted through the door.
