Site Supporter White on Tyne Posted February 15, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted February 15, 2017 New guy called Chris Turner quite funny. Never thought much of Russell Howard. Always seems out of his depth on 8 cats etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainmed Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Are folk serious about Bernard Manning? Fuck me is it 1981? Just because society has changed (and mainly for the worst) doesn't mean it suddenly isn't funny. I do accept it isn't as relevant in today's world of "political correctness overload". You can't tell me that Benny Hill and Dick Emery aren't funny surely? Also used to like Russ Abbott and Freddie Star.

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted February 15, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted February 15, 2017 My favorite from when I was a kid was Dave Allen, he was quality. I love Blackadder too. Went to watch Jason Manford a couple of years back, he was actually very funny. Andy Parsons and Russell Howard are stealing a living. David Mitchell is funny though.

tshape Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Richard macfarlane Remember buying Poetic Off-Licence after just picking it up in a bookshop when in London. I was gutted when i found out i'd discovered him too late to see him perform live. Exhausted everything on Youtube, it's all brilliant. Proper talent.

Bigtoe Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 The Fosters 'Afternoon Delights' shorts Vic and Bob did almost as a throwaway are funnier that most comedians finest moments. Dr Shakamoto and Mostly Haunted are genius. As are the rock and rollers doing 50's dancing in the precinct and talking about fried chicken. Absolutely I still piss my sides at that Dr Shakamoto one In fact i am going to watch it again now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whites man Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Away from "work", Bernard Manning was a proper nice bloke. Used to enjoy my Thursday afternoon brew with him. I always thought that It was strange Bernard Manning had such a racist, anti Semitic act when he himself had a piggy little Jewish face. Which I suppose is a racist and anti Semitic thing to say.
