  Unbeaten, three wins from four games, ten points from a possible 12, Freedman has quickly made a positive impact at the City Ground.

  Well, a 40 minute support act (the impressive Nish Kumar; far more than a time filler) and 20 minute interval helped, but Jones eventually appeared and nailed his show with an exceptional hour of stand up.
  And endearingly, it's not just continual one liners. Indeed at a couple of points Jones...
