Simon Amstell is… Morrissey
Since ditching the bitchy world of pop music-based telly shows, Simon Amstell has made a stand-up career out of angst. He’s the epitome of melancholy, delving into his personal pit of poignancy so that we may laugh at his pain. Music’s king of sadness, of course, is Morrissey. But contrary to common misconception, the twangy-voiced Lancastrian is wickedly funny too. Take the lyric ‘Let me get my hands/On your mammary glands,’ for instance. Plus, both Morrissey and Amstell have had hugely successful solo careers… if you consider ‘Popworld’ to be Amstell’s ‘The Queen Is Dead’.
Catch Simon Amstell at Latitude Festival.
