Clip of Ja'mie on "Now That's What I Call Comedy" DVD

I was just flicking through a newspaper and I saw a pic of Ja'mie with her friends in WCBH. So I read the article and it was about Richard Curtis' (who's an absolute legend- Comic Relief founder, producer/writer/director of TV programmes and films e.g Blackadder, The Vicar of Dibley, Bridget Jones' Diary etc) top 10 out of 37 comedy clips from a DVD which has just been released called "Now That's What I Call Comedy: The Absolute Very Best of Modern Comedy". He chose a clip of Ja'mie in WCBH in his top 10 and said:

This is a hilarious clip from an astonishing Australian genius, somewhere between Peter Sellers and Barry Humphries

So if anyone is interested in buying it, it costs £9.99 and at least £2 from each copy goes towards Comic Relief. I'm thinking of getting it myself since there are some really funny moments on it and it's for charity

This looks really good - definately worth buying. Michael McIntyre is hilarious, not sure how Catherine Tate is number one tho - I dont really find her funny at all.

It was in The Mirror, SuperLoz. You're really lucky to have seen those people. There are some brilliant British stand up comedians (Mock The Week and particular episodes of Live at the Apollo ftw!) . My friend went to see Lee Evans as well. I don't really see the appeal of Lee Evans myself though.

I think Michael McIntyre is hilarious as well, I'm really glad he has become mainstream. I just hope he doesn't become too complacent with his success haha!

Awesome, thanks Loving Little Britain and The Vicar of Dibley on there... the Vicar should be higher though. I think it's one of the best shows EVER.

Just been trying to order this, and its described as a best of British Comedy - which I guess it is other than the WCBH clip. Looks like we've adopted Chris as a Brit then!

^ haha why not?

Btw that's the tracklist of the clips as they appear on the DVD. It's not in any particular order of the best to worst or anything like that lol

Russell Brand =

Yeah Russell Brand is really cool - I saw him do stand up a while back and he was brilliant.

Wonder which Ja'mie clip is on this DVD? Might have to see if I can track it down in my lunch break....

^My guess is the scene she finds out her sponsor kids are dead and goes ape shit at her mum and the woman on the phone.

Yeah i love Russell. He's a smartass and a bit of a bad boy hahaa. My English pal got me hooked on him before he became popular here in Australia so i was sooo happy to see him become mainstream.

Yeah - Russell Brand is always in trouble! They've just announced hes doing another radio show here which is bound to be interesting - last time he had a radio show he caused so much trouble - loads of people got sacked and he had to resign!

^Yes i heard about that. Seriously....big deal what was said. Its Russel! My god i wouldn't expect anything less from him!

Yeah! an Aussie-Brit the coolest Brit!

I love to watch Russell Brand too, can't stop laughing when he's on

14. The Peter Serafinowicz Show - Darth Vader in Love is HILARIOUS. The female Darth Vader is so well designed.

Interestingly, Peter Serafinowicz did the voice of Darth Maul and Darth Chef (from South Park). He is such a good impressionist, his vocal ability is amazing. Pity his sketch show wasn't always as good as his You Tube stuff.

Just found the article online with the videos of Richard Curtis' top 10 picks. They used Ja'mie's opening scenes:

And yay I love Russell Brand too! He's a fan of Summer Heights High too which he's mentioned in an interview and on his former radio show. The whole 'Sachsgate' scandal was blown way out of proportion by the media! Russell is naturally controversial though, love it!
