I saw Mike Mc Shane dying on stage at the Hackney Empireonce; it was hard crowd to please, and he was doing his "Shout out a title and a style and I'll make up a song" shtick which was becoming tired by then. Someone had already shouted out "Funny and fast" which got a huge laugh; Mc Shane struggled on until some bloke got out of his seat, walked to the back of the auditorium and shouted "Taxi for the comedian!" How we laughed.
