I think I mentioned the first comedy works gig I went to where Nathan Caton and Matt Rees performed with the MC being Andrew Ryan. Since then me and Rob have been to three more where we've seen Marcel Lucont, Paddy Lennox, (MC Clint Edwards), Andrew O'Neill, Fin Taylor, (MC Suzi Ruffell)
Eric Lampaert, Jessica Fostekew, (MC Jim Smallman), Elis James, Matt Rihcardson, (MC Tom Webb) and at the last comedy gig of this semester we'll get tos ee Ryan McDonnell, ,(MC Chris Turner). At the Eric Lampaert gig, we sat right next to the stage and Rob got spoken to twice!! The first time was because he knew the capital of Azerbaijan (very embarrassing!!) and I can't remember why the second time! It was all good fun though!
As well as being to comedy gigs at the union, me and Rob have also gone to the Aberystwyth Arts Centre (also located on the campus - very fortunate) to see Mark Watson, Josh Widdicombe and Seann Walsh - all who were brilliant! And now Rob's bought tickets for us to go and see Chris Addison and Lloyd Langford :D

Seann Walsh and Josh Widdicombe did a joint gig, but that didn't matter as they both did their usual material, as well as doing some joint towards the end! Me and Rob had front row seats (thankfully not in the centre!) and they were brilliant! Seann Walsh's impressions of people really make up part of his material, and I have to say, I love his Michael McIntyre impression! They're both just amazing comedians, and they both relate well to the audience - especially as a lot of the audience are younger people and they're younger comedians.
Anyway, I think everyone should go see a live comedy gig at some point in their lives, because it's so much better than just seeing a recorded one on the TV. I think that if it's not being recorded then the comedians tend to be a bit more outgoing, and they can appeal to that particular audience! It's weird to think that I was never really bothered by watching comedy on the telly, or even going to see it, but now, I think it's great!
