Notes & scribbles

  • A hundred or so comedians talk about a joke that really only comedians perform.
  • Never, ever, get it mixed up with the Disney film The Aristocats
  • Gilbert Gottfried wins!
  • Saw this at the cinema originally, bought the DVD at a car boot sale.
  • It’s not really about the joke itself, but the performance and the storytelling.
