A couple of recommendations 



Last week, Elle and I finally got a chance to see the Aristocrats, a new documentary about a joke. Not just any joke though - an incredibly filthy joke, with roots in Vaudeville and the music halls, that comedians tell other comedians, but rarely on stage. I shalln't give much away, but to say it's incredibly funny and if you get the chance to see it you must.

Last night I saw Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventures . Some of you might remember "Are you Dave Gorman", which launched his style of documentary comedy onto an unsuspecting world. In this show, instead of having to find a load of namesakes, Dave has to make a chain of 10 googlewhacks in a row, before his 32nd birthday.

For the uninitiated, a googlewhack is a two word search string that, when plugged into Google, returns only one hit. Not as easy as you think, and it's a fluid sport. Perfidious autology was the last one I found, but now it returns more than one hit, so sadly it doesn't count anymore.
