Yep, saw him and he was exactly as expected - same old same old. Intermittently enjoyable for me, but for many of my friends he is a highlight of the festival.
The cynic in me did wonder whether the repeated exhortations to tweet/link to his Facebook were merely an attempt to drive traffic there and increase his profile. But then I resolved not to be such a grump and stood up and waved my hankie.
Not sure he needs to ‘raise his profile’. He also celebrated 50 years in the business last year so think it may be a bit late to try that
