philpy Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Miranda hart. How she got her own show Is beyond me. That and the fact that she looks like a t-Rex with tits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 That Sarah Millican is on the telly just now and she does my box in I'll see your Millican and raise you Susan fucking Calman who has pretty much spoiled Radio 4 for me. Her patter is: I'm lesbian; I'm fat; I'm Scottish and I've a cat. Susan, your father was Chief Medical Officer for England and Wales and was a well-respected man. I always enjoyed his interviews when I was shaving in the morning. I also loved that I never heard from him after said 'Today' interviews. In contrast, you're a shrill, inconsequential nomark with a ubiquity far in excess of your talent. Just f**k off, please. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddymcp Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Russell Howard is pish. I've always thought Billy Connolly was over rated incidentally. The two that spring to mind anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I tried to watch Stewart Lee but had to stop due to him being shit. He addressed an insular cadre of socially challenged, prematurely middle-aged, pseudo-intellectual men, I thought. Not narrowly enough, in my opinion. Anyway, the correct answer is Gina Yashere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Jag Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Harry Hill is a fair shout. The first few series of TV Burp were absolute gold - easily one of the funniest programmes I've watched. It then went downhill big style. His stand-up is beyond dreadful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Dave Gorman. Harsh. I think his stuff is generally brilliant. I've watched quite a few things and never been disappointed. Also whoever said Jon Richardson as well - who the f**k do you find funny if not these guys? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 What pisses me off is that some of these comedians have the same material for years. I've gone to a few comedy clubs over the last few years.....no massive stars, but some who are well known on the Scottish comedy circuit. We saw Keir Mcallister a couple of times, about two years apart, and most of his material the second time was exactly the same as the first time. Fair enough, it's maybe unreasonable to expect them to change their entire repertoire every six months, but surely, it should be a continual adding in of some new stuff, and ditching the older stuff, so that if you see them once a year, most of their act will be new to you. Otherwise, why the hell would you pay to see them again? Also, it often depends on the audience. I saw David Kaye twice..... The first time he had the audience in stitches, dealt with a heckler better than anyone I've ever seen, the second time, he crashed and burned. It was dire. I was willing the audience to laugh, but they were having none of it. I'm going to see Romesh Ranganathan this year, so I'm hoping he will be good Singers/ songwriters can dine off one song sometimes - for the rest of their life. Crowds will complain when they try to do new stuff rather than the old classics that people know and love. Comedians need to produce new material every few weeks? That's incredibly difficult. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Went to see Stu Francis a couple of months ago and was very disappointed; always liked him when I saw him on TV. He makes the point that he doesn't do repeat material which is a pity because his earlier stuff would be funnier repeated than his new stuff first time around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Jo Brand, her entire act is - I'm fat, men are hopeless, I like eating or Allan Carr - I wear glasses, I'm gay, I have big teeth, Greg Davis - I am tall People like John Richardson, Dave Gorman and Danny Wallace who have an entire themed show about a shite idea they had that has obviously taken them months to write to get somewhere almost amusing. Rhod Gilbert and John Bishop are funny people but are crap stand-ups. Jimmy Carr has a writing team and basically recites a script every night Adam Hills is unfunny but annoys me because of his grandstanding rants about lazy subjects with the even unfunnier Josh Widdicom. Jason Manford, Russell Kane and the majority of women shoehorned on to the BBC, I urge anyone to watch room 101 last week when Bridget Christie was on it, I think she was going out her way to be unfunny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
