The BBC Stand Up Show is always as good value for money as it can be, with Auntie able to attract the cream of comic talent to sustain the ever hungry for more monster that is getting bigger each Fringe.

The show follows the normal format, M.C. and our comedians. The show I saw had M.C. Tom Price, performing in Stickmen at the Pod Deco, and the acts, Middlesbrough’s Pat Monahan performing at GB Teviot, American Scott Capuro, Pleasance, Irishman Jonny Candon and top of the Bill, the 2003 Perrier Award winner Demetri Martin, who is at Assembly Rooms.

As one can see the talent was immense, but the line up changes nightly, but if the calibre is as good as the fare on offer when I saw it, it is certainly well worth the money.
