Simon Amstell: Numb - Live at the BBC
2012 · 58 MIN · IMDB 7.6 · 345 VOTES · DIR. Tim Kirkby
Overview
This one-off stand-up special is a performance of Simon Amstell's stand-up show, 'Numb', which he toured to sell-out audiences around the UK and Ireland in 2012, as well as Australia and, more recently, Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York. Recorded specially for BBC Four at TV Centre, it's a stripped-down, intimate performance, with no set and minimal lighting - a painfully raw, honest and deeply funny exploration of disconnection and loneliness.

00:27:52 I felt very angry that that's what happened that day
00:30:37 if I can just put some dates in our diaries
00:32:42 That was sort of nice for me. Thank you.
00:35:31 "that would have been really odd."
00:38:12 All we have are the conventions of the people who came before us
00:40:38 "He seems quite happy, don't ruin another life."
00:43:05 and I know that's odd me saying that because I do this
00:45:32 at that moment, landed in my palm and we kissed and then I giggled
00:48:14 But it's difficult to stay connected to that joy, to your true self

00:55:26 "Think hiding it. Think Galaxy."
