Mark Steel is a British comedian with some links, I believe, to the SWP. Some time ago he was behind a TV show where every week on the BBC he'd swan through the life and ideas of various classical philosophers and historical individuals. His lecture on Marx is devastatingly funny, presenting a man who as a student "misses his lectures, hates god and gets pissed." In rescuing him from right wing detractors, Steel churns out some hilarity too.
