I went to see my joint favourite comedian, Micky Flanagan, tonight at the O2. He, as always, was excellent. The first time I saw him was maybe five years ago. I'd never heard of him and was with a group of friends at a local comedy club in Mile End, just a few hundred yards from where Mickey grew up. Our table was butted up against the stage and there was probably less than 200 people there, half of whom were just there to drink and yell abuse at the stage. The second time was about two years ago at the Hammersmith Apollo with a crowd of 3,000 or so; we definitely weren't too near the stage that time. Tonight, there must have been 20,000 people all straining to hear him.
I think he finally made it.
