mrcat1990 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 And given that you clearly know a large enough percentage of his fanbase to make your generalisation, I'll be sure to take it seriously. Snooze. Stop being so boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Bridges fans shouldn't take it personally. Some people like to be challenged and made to think. Some people like their own opinions and experiences spoon fed back to them in an easily swallowable comedy syrup. It's just the way God made us and no one is worse than anyone else.

tree house tam Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Went to see him in Perth 3-4 years ago, left disappointed. I used to like Bridges and his scripted stuff was ok-ish but he really let himself down when interacting with the crowd. Cringed as he stood in the middle of stage shrugging his shoulders saying tough crowd and sighing when nobody was laughing. Maybe just an off night but I'll save my cash for half intelligent comedians in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Apparently he left early on one of his London shows. Crowd interaction seemingly non existent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder sometimes if it's just Perth crowds that are dickish and don't make an effort and not for wont of the folk onstage doing their part. I know it's a different type of thing but I saw Morrissey there a few years back and it was just a bit odd. Steve and the lads played excellent but save for a few folk showing a bit of enthusiasm right in front of the stage, the majority of the crowd were absolute dullards.

invergowrie arab Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 You do realise it doesn't have to be one or the other don't you? And yet it so often is. That's the tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev23 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I was there on Friday. First time I've seen him live and fairly enjoyed myself. However, i totally understand why people don't rate him. Hooserice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I saw him in 2007 at The Stand in Edinburgh before he hit the big time (I'm no comedian hipster, I had no idea who he was) and he was absolutely brilliant. I think like many modern comedians he's struggled to maintain the quality---these days when every joke you've done hits youtube inside of about five minutes the rate at which you need to produce new material is just ridiculous. Bridges fans shouldn't take it personally. Some people like to be challenged and made to think. Some people like their own opinions and experiences spoon fed back to them in an easily swallowable comedy syrup. It's just the way God made us and no one is worse than anyone else.

DDcups Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I like kevin bridges he's no Billy Connolly but he's better than a lot of others claiming to be comedians. Selling out his tour kind of shows how good he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I agree that it's parochial shite but he's a decent storyteller and pretty good at what he does - far better at it than the Peter Kays and Billy Connollys of the world. Now I think about it though, everyone I know that's going to see him are all the sort of people that have watched 22 Jump Street a dozen times.
