Payday Pint down Peckham way

In his book he keeps pushing that he's more** performance art** than stand-up, and will continue to push the medium in that direction. It was a good read, the annotations to his last tours were insightful and interesting. Despite finding him less funny than I used to, his justifications for where he is and going are sound enough and I keep meaning to go see him but it's one of those things I never get around to.

(I'm in for a pint on Friday)

If it's performance art why are people still laughing? Half of it isn't even funny, it's little more than parody.
