The annual Teenage Cancer Trust fundraisers reach a turning point this week. The Who's Roger Daltrey, having stewarded them since 2000, is stepping down. But if last night's hugely entertaining comedy evening is any guide, this will be a punchy farewell party for the microphone-whirling frontman.
This latest laughter-fest was hosted by Kevin Bridges. The assured Glaswegian is the natural heir to Billy Connolly, an instinctive storyteller with a ruthless eye for detail. The besuited superstar is now 37 and acknowledged his transition from youth to proper adulthood with a fine running gag about domestic contentment between irreverent quips.
