Flicking through the channels and see that Nina Conti is doing the same routine again.

I'm sure I've seen her doing pretty much the same thing several years ago.

Is she good (and I'm missing something) or is there a lack of new talent out there.

She's a lot funnier than some so called comedians/comediens who do the same type of routine over & over again. IMO.

Monkey is hilarious.
The new act of the hydro-actuated faces using audience members is improv genius.

She's funny. Clever, and funny.

I find ventriloquism a bit creepy

Better than poxy jugglers (why do they have that surprised look on their face) and people who paint themselves silver and stand very still, but not as good as Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan eating food and doing impressions.

At least she's got a trick. Some ponies got none.

Top Tip - taking a pound [i]out[/i] of their hats is just as effective at making them move as putting a pound [i]in[/i].

She's cute, funny, and smart, and hasn't played on her family connection.

One of our better comedy acts at the moment

She can be funny but when she was on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown she was absolutely awful. She looked like she knew it as well, just wasn't working. She seemed very nervous.
