Rob Newman’s stand-up comedy routine on Peak Oil

‘A History of Oil’ comes highly recommended by both Sue and Wood at John Heron Project. (Haven’t had time to watch it yet, have been traveling and am at hotel with flaky wifi as I type this.)

    Watch it when you can.

    It is very good (and highly entertaining).

    I have had this piece on my wbsite for a couple of years and think it is one of the must informative pieces of political humour. Accurate and put across with skill and and lots of laughs. More of this would work wonders with the general public.

    What makes it so amazing is that large parts of it are actually — if you were to look at them written on the page — a fairly straight presentation of facts. And yet, Newman (one of the most talented and under-rated British comedians) manages to deliver them so they’re hilarious.
