Cheerful comedy
I don't know if I've posted this before, but I really like Adam Hills' comedy. I will put in a small caveat: I don't like that often in his stand-up he swears, and in many post-watershed programmes he will also swear. However, his style of comedy is very ... I don't want to say 'gentle', because if he picks up something being wrong - particularly if it's unjust or unfair - he will have a bit of a rant about it. But his comedy is always very positive: he doesn't put people down, he doesn't make jokes at anyone's expense, and when he does have a rant it always comes with suggestions for how to do better - e.g. 'don't say {horrible thing}, educate yourself and then say {better thing}'. [That doesn't really explain it, but anyone who has seen it will know what I mean.] Put it this way: some of his solo shows have been called 'Life is Good', 'Happy Feet', 'Joymonger', and most recently, 'Happyism'.
One thing I really like is that he's always smiling, and that always makes me smile - I really noticed it this evening, when I was catching up on Celebrity Fifteen to One; it wasn't an overtly comic show, although there were some bits of comedy from the answers the contestants gave, but Adam Hills was presenting it and just made me smile :)
Anyway, that's my little ramble for tonight.
