Anyone remember this show? It was on UK TV about two years before Seinfeld, and had a very similar format. The adventures of a stand up comic. Each episode started and ended with an excerpt from his stand up routine, which were based on the events in the episode. It was a lot funnier than Seinfeld too, (i.e. it was slightly amusing).
Joking Apart, with Robert Bathurst as the comic?
Yes, I think that’s it.
My mistake, it seems to have been created a few months after Seinfeld, though probably shown in the UK before Seinfeld was.
