John Fothergill : _x001C_ Some comics never find it, but when one does, there's no mistaking it. Suddenly, that ordinary bloke behind the mic becomes a cartoon version of himself. Everything he says is funny, and anything that happens to him is more material for his act. It's partly about finding out who you really are, and how the punters really see you, but the main part remains a mystery. Yet whatever that mystery consists of, John Fothergill has just found it. He's always been a solid comic, but now he looks like he was born on stage, under a follow spot, with a mic in his hand."
