Alan Carr is standing in for Steve Merchant and just has come onto 6 Music.

For those outside the UK he's almost impossible to describe - image a camper Kenneth Williams or Julian Clary with glasses and really annoying voice. He's funny and his jokes are good, but unlike say Lily Savage or Eddie Izzard or Graham Norton something about his uber-campness comes over as desperately contrived.

He's quite big here, another example of a non-threatening camp stereotypical gay comedian, I wonder? He seems to play that up in his routine, it's depressing.

I much prefer people like Simon Amstell who are comedians who happen to be gay rather than the 'oops! there goes my sausage!' level of Mr Humphrys humour, although I can find some of that funny, it does get wearing to use your sexuality constantly in your act...and become a paper-thin one-joke character. In fact all the ones mentioned before rarely do.

*goes to switch it off*
