I've seen Michael Davis doing his three ball juggling routine many many times.

Other than the blurb & comments on that video on YouTube are there any other references to his own show? His IMDb listing doesn't have anything that seems to fit the bill. The closest title that seems likely is "Life of the party" as listed on his website.

https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/472431/Michael-Davis-The-Life-of-the-Party/ Seems to suggest that's what I was thinking of, and that of was a 30 minute special rather than a series

I'd still like to see the whole thing though if someone has a copy :)

While looking online for a copy, I stumbled across https://www.magicvideolibrary.com/ which is a URL I've been looking for since I first found it (and compiled a wishlist of clips from them)

I still have the wishlist, but it didn't mention the URL.

Dubious business model aside, I might put them back on my "things to investigate when I get around to it" list - although as the page was seemingly last updated 5 years ago, I'll not hold my breath.

Send me your wish list and I'll see if I've got any of it.

Wishlist is here: https://lpbk.net/misc/wishlist.txt although I've clearly not read it thoroughly since I wrote it, and the timestamp on the file says 2005 - so a lot of those clips I now have access to.

Perhaps it's not as useful as I'd thought, perhaps I might re-visit it...

The names that I recognize are all available online. (If you're searching: Carazini not Karazini, and Tom Noddy not Notty)

Hadn't heard of the Buster Keaton short - turns out to be called Mixed Magic - I don't have it. If you like Keaton, there's a fantastic three part documentary on him called "A Hard Act to Follow" that I thoroughly recommend. (Don't bother with Youtube, though - one version has Russian dubbed over it, and the other is very cropped and sped up).

I should've said that's the video we know about from this thread.

Taste in Comedians is such a personal thing - I really like Stuart Lee, Rich Hall and Doug Stanhope but I don't "get" Louis C.K or George Carlin even though they have similarities.

That said... if you like Mitch Hedberg, Stewart Francis and Milton Jones - you might also like Tim Vine ("Pen behind the ear" is a particular favourite routine)

If you're at all interested in standup comedy - you could do a lot worse than listening to Comedians Comedian Podcast

I recently came across Jim Jeffries, I haven't found anyone this funny since Bill Hicks although the foul language may put people off and I don't think many women will like him.
