He's got pretty much all the sense of the absurd usually missing in American stand-ups. He can toss off one liners that suck you into his world of the weird or go deep with a longer, multi-media piece. Check out his website (www.eugenemirman.com) where he has plenty of odd, short films and a great video of him bringing a heckler on-stage who had been harrassing him by e-mail before the show. Mirman, as we Americans say, hands him his ass. Wish I was there to catch the Edinburgh show

I saw Eugene Mirman last week and I have to say his performance was of someone looking absolutely terrified. At times he just looked a little bemused as to why he was standing there. Just play your (pretty funny) multimedia Mr Mirman and leave the stage. Then we'd all be happier.
