Robert Newman and Mark Thomas last night...

Very very good.

Newman on first - has turned to political satire. Nice routine likening the world's current political climate as a Bronx neighbourhood. Good work on the causes for the first world war (including a couple of great FACTS). Took the piss out of Blair a lot, and made Roy of Wroxham out to be some omnipresent world leader, which was quite funny.

Thomas followed - nowhere near as dark as previous times I've seen him. Mainly talked about some of the stuff he's been doing as a qualified arms dealer. Included the world's greatest FACT, which I shall share with you later.

Both then came on stage - Newman with banjo, Thomas with harmonica, and did a few songs which were either adlibbed, or very cleverly written - Thomas kept creasing up which made it funnier.

If they're coming to a town near you, and there are tickets available, I'd recommend it.
