It seems to be in vogue to slag him off these days, but I'm rather enjoying his show on 4 at the moment

 

Maybe I'm just easily amused

 

loving all things Bolton?

im laughing and hating myself for it

Don't think it's in vogue to slag him off just that I've tired of his repetitive gags. He used to be funny now he isn't. And it's got nothing to do with him being from Bolton, he could be from Birmingham or Bournemouth for all I care

Garlic bread.

Garlic?

Bread?

 

Cheesecake.

Cheese?

Cake?

 

Fucksponge.

Fuck?

Aye, he's piss funny.

No wonder non-Boltonians take the piss out of us yonners.

Didn't see the show on tv but if you ever have the chance to chat to him you will see he's a naturally funny guy. He finished writing his new show for the BBC last week so hopefully it will be on tv soon

I thought the two other blokes who wrote phoenix nights with him don't bother with him anymore

 

I heard that he claimed all credit for Phoenix Nights, and that Dave Spikey and Neil Fitzmaurice were not too amused. They weren't involved with Max and Paddy.

You could tell too. It was shit.

He owes the people of Bolton royalties as half of it is just sayings or jokes that he's picked up on the way, not written himself.

 

But that's the essence of all good comedy, isn't it? He's a very keen observer and he picks up on a community that is brimming with quality humour (you only have to follow this site to appreciate that!) and turns it into comedy routines. He's done very well for himself out of it - and good luck to him.

 

I live away from Bolton now and Peter Kay's phenomenal success has only been positive as far as I'm concerned. He has enhanced Bolton's image and that of its inhabitants in my opinion.

No idea, most of it isn't observational, it's just reminding you of stuff.

 

You don't quite get the concept of 'observational' do you? :-)

 

However I do agree that Michael McIntyre is a cunt.

how does he get away with it?
