Don't ever say we at Channel 4 Comedy don't do our research. We know things; know things that you dare never imagine. For instance, did you know that a tomato is in fact a fruit and not a vegetable? Right, well, if that little nugget of trivia didn't impress you, what about this – Mitchell and Webb (them of the Peep Show fame) both went to Cambridge and were members of Footlights. If you're of an inquisitive nature you may well be asking, "What the blazes is Footlights?" You're in the right place to find out...

The Boosh boys have convinced their hero, Gary Numan, to play at their one-day festival in July. Speaking about the electro legend, who had a guest appearance in the last series, the Boosh's Noel Fielding said: "Having Gary on board is mental! He is a hero of mine and was always a first choice, having him perform at our festival is almost surreal." Book tickets.

Eurovision is just around the corner and you can almost feel the tension crackling in the air... Most of the countries take the contest very seriously, however, there is a small percentage that, well erm don't... And this year is no exception! Eurovision 2008 brings you madness from across the water in the form of a disco chicken, a made-up language, pirates and some saucy Portugese goings on...

Comedy Police Officer Bruceboy has been investigating the lack of punchlines supplied by Edward Aczel. Here's his report:

"Two minutes with Edward Aczel and I'm doubting everything I thought I knew about comedy. About life, actually.

"'Cause by all accounts, he should suck superglue from a vacuum hose. He wanders shyly onstage and this isn't Frankie Howerd's mock-timidity, it's the fear of a guy who just doesn't wanna be there. He doesn't rattle off the gags, and this isn't the fake irony of Jack Dee, it's a - rather untimid - admitting he doesn't have any. He reads the topics off the back of his hand and this ain't the psuedo-cheesiness of Adrian Edmondson subverting stand-up for 'Hysteria', it's the real cheesiness of a bloke terrified of forgetting his lines. And as for the delivery - hell, it makes Steven Wright look like Ben Elton.

"And yet... I haven't laughed so much since Mrs Thatcher 'resigned'. Or seen anything so humour-happy since Steve Coogan chucked the dodgy impersonations to become Alan Partridge. Or ultimately been so confused since Bob Monkhouse ditched the stand-up for 'Family Fortunes'.

"'Cause by Gad, Edward's good. He builds a setup, then can't be bothered with a punchline ("What can you say about --- that hasn't been said before? I don't know really"). He pussyfoots about the stage, then asks when he can go home. He pauses dramatically for the pay-off - then introduces the next guest.

"So why is he so hilarious? I don't know. I just know you better go see 'im. Then explain it to me."
