It was dire. The guy next to me shouted "You're as funny as Lenny Henry" How very fucking dare you. His renditions of Loyal and True to the tune of Will Your Anchor Hold were worth the admission fee alone. I mind an Aberdeen (?) fan took exception to it and ran on to, I assume, tell him this and fell on his c**t as he got there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone actually like any stand up comedians ? Pretty much no. I find they all fall into types and cliches, most of which I fucking hate. I enjoy going to live stand-up. You get some good ones doing the rounds in clubs, and I enjoy Stewart Lee. But for such a large pool, the ones that make it famous tend to have to fit into a certain box that leads to them just being annoying copies of someone else. Typically you'll get a new one with one good bit, or a couple of stand-out bits that they dine out on for years. But few deliver consistently. Can't think of anyone famous I'd pay to see. Shite, imo.

Brother Blades Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I like Stewart Lee but think times have moved on & stand up isn’t so much of a thing now with the abundance of panel shows available nowadays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Stewart Lee completed it and dismantled it about 15 years ago and its now a wholly redundant art form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 23 hours ago, Busta Nut said: He's an act created by Gervais. That is close to impossible listen to the first episodes when they ask Karl to speak and it's pretty natural and then the have thousands of hours of radio shows there is no way they could have written the character to be as funny. Stephen Merchant to me holds the radio and podcasts together, but there is no way Karl is an act, never mind that he has gone on to do his own acting and projects away from Ricky and Steve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Strange thing about Lenny Henry is that back in the 70s when he won New Faces he was doing a routine that was indistinguishable from Jim Davidson's who also won that show. LH has done nothing funny since TISWAS - OooooooKaaaaaay! Have just googles this old TISWAS sketch which I think 21st Century Lenny would wish had stayed buried!

Left Back Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Joe Lycett. The only thing I'd seen him do was the car parking fine thing (I think it was on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown) which I thought was mildly amusing. During the Covid years he was hired by the company I worked for to present our end of year get together/awards etc (virtually over Teams). 10 minutes of listening to him prattle on without raising so much as a smile and I left the call. Christ knows how much he trousered for the gig. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
