At the end of the gig he ran back on stage shirtless, but in Holy Flying Circus he does full-frontal nudity, so I've seen it all before. Literally.
He does like to writhe around and pull his t-shirt up or drop his trousers, though. It's not the most intellectual material in the world, but I like short, chubby blokes, so... Not usually ones in their late-ish forties, admittedly. He definitely has a middle-aged belly now, but that's actually part of the appeal for me. TUMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIES!
Either he gets through a lot of toxic marriages, or he's full of shit, though. I know all comedians employ hyperbole to flesh out or humanise their material, but he was doing the same lead in to the Bitter Song in 2006 that he's doing now.
I'd like to see more of his rarer material, actually; I've heard when he does hour-long shows he has some great stuff, but a lot of what I saw tonight I know he's been doing for at LEAST half a decade.
