What a funny guy, not sure how well the audience took to his humour. The organisers must have know what they were getting though.

Loved the office too. It was right on the limit for me though, he did it a little too well.

Funniest thing I've seen for a long time. That guy is fantastic.

I'd never seen him before, just heard his name. Might be time to see the original office.

The Mel Gibson intro was brilliant - it's a wonder the placed didn't implode when every single person gasped at once.

Ok cool. I'll have to see what I can find. I'm on leave at the moment, so some good comedy is on the cards.

Jeez, the shot he took a Sir Paul McCartney didn't go down so well, I thought it was a bloody corker.

I think the audience was shocked into laughter!!

I don't think Sir Paul enjoyed the dig at him very much....

You could see so many of the audience members smiling, but at the same time thinking "is this guy for real?"

I think Sigourney Weaver was actually grimacing through her smile

Clearly Americans don't get his sarcasm and his humour......it's much too clever and requires far too much thinking for them...
