I heard old Yehudi at the City Halls in Glasgow when I was but a wean and he was at the height of his powers. His jokes weren't a patch on Matt's though.
I also heard the Dalai Lama there some years later but that's another story. He'd've made mincemeat of Matt.
The Dalai Lama checks into a hotel, and asks the checkin girl- is there satellite tv in the room? Oh yes, she says. Hm well I trust that the porn channel is disabled?, says the DL. So the checkin girl sez " Er no - it’s just straight porn you SICK SICK B@STARD!!”
See with a priest as protagonist the receptionist's response has a factual footing in recent revelations and this is the comedic crux for me but somehow it just doesn't work with Tenzin Gyatso as the sick b'stard.
