Does anyone like Bill Bailey?

Not sure if this should be in Movie Talk or DVD Talk
Bill Bailey is a UK musical (?) comedian known for the series "Black Books" and also being a team captain on "Never Mind The Buzzcocks" in the UK.
I've just seen one of his stand ups "Part Troll" on DVD (OK I'd seen it a few times) and its brilliant

The combination of surreal observations and slightly stoned delivery had me falling about laughing, and the music is inspired as well, like the part when he compares the UK BBC News theme to a rave, and the Drum and Bush part

I want to check out his other stand ups now

I used to hate the guy....especially on Buzzcocks (and i still hate Mark fucking Lemar), but after seeing Black Books i accepted him a little bit more. The guy is alright and he shines in Black Books along with Dylan Moran. Not checked out much of his stand up though.

I admit I first saw him on Buzzcocks as well, his stand up may be an acquired taste but I thought it was great

I enjoyed Black Books, but he came off a little goofy for my tastes.
