Steve Coogan: The Man Who Thinks He's It

The concept of this video is brilliant! How many people do you know, specially artists, who don't take themselves seriously, who make fun of themselves? Here, Steve Coogan, probably knowing how good a comedian he is, makes fun of himself, portraying himself as an assh*le whom no one likes. I can't find the right words to describe this, but it makes Coogan a very sympathetic person.

Amazing how fast he can speak! That alone is a big gift, but he is also very natural, and Alan Partridge is just the funniest character I have ever seen! I have watched this many times, and every time I almost died of laughter. What a gifted comedian he is, so young in this video, but already so professional!

Steve Coogan's comedy in general is difficult to put into words if you're explaining it to somebody who has never experienced it before. He is not an everyday comedian, nor does he do live shows or TV series that have one big laugh and nothing much in between. Throughout his whole career he has produced amazing, side-splitting comedy which never lets up.

Throughout this show he takes comedy to another level. The Alan Partridge act at the end is obviously magnificent but with Coogan there rarely is a highlight to anything he does. It's all one big, bright shining light that's in your face! The whole comical package stuffed into this show will make you laugh until you think you can't laugh anymore. A lot of people who watch stand-up comedy alone may chuckle to themselves or simply find it amusing but not express it by laughing, however this show will bring your laughter out. It will make you laugh out loud when you're the only one sat in your living room watching it. It will show you a completely different approach to stand-up comedy and make you think twice about comedy in general.

The Kate Bush Medley at the end of the show by Partridge tops it off very nicely because Coogan is so good at singing badly! It's totally hilarious! I am a massive Steve Coogan fan and always have been. This man is quite simply a showbusiness phenomenon and is the sole reason why I myself am now pursuing a career in alternative comedy acting and script writing. I am also due to attend the exact same university as he went to in Manchester where he grew up just like me.

Thankyou Steve for yet another fantastic piece of alternative comedy and thank-you for being the main inspiration behind me pursuing a career in this field. I simply would not be able to produce the work I do if it wasn't for seeing all of your work and appreciating it with a vast amount of enthusiasm. You are a true legend.

Possibly the funniest show I have ever seen. All characters are great and there isn't A moment when when you aren't laughing

This is, in short a masterpiece of British comedy - An absolute must for any Coogan fan, or any true fan of comedy.

I think that the Man who thinks he Is It is one of the best comedies that I have seen for a very long time. The characters that Steve portrays are unbelievably true to life which is why they are so funny! I love Tony Ferrino, Duncan Thickett and Alan Partridge. In fact in my last play ( a variety show where I wrote the comedy) I played Alan Partridge. A-HA!!

Wonderful comedy from Coogan, who seems to revel in his multi-personality skits much more than his tired Partridge formula.

Paul and Pauline Calf are as hilarious as ever, whilst Duncan Thickett's terrible stand up is a joy in itself (complete with a top notch heckling Steven Hawking impression). Nice to see Simon Pegg and Julia Davis given a bit of freedom as supporting cast too, back in the days when they were unknowns.

Oh yeah, and Tony Ferrino is one of the greatest comic creations of the past century by far. "I want to sing you a song right now - it's called Man Sandwich. Butter me up....."
