Having watched a number of live shows, now, a number of the gags here were very familiar. But they’re no less funny. And there’s a lot of new material as well. Apart from the delivery, which makes everything feel fresh and spontaneous, everything’s cleverly fitted into a broader theme of “The Seven Signs Of Ageing”.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 15px">As always, Vic’s observational humour hones in on very British behaviours.
