Again, not having a bad word about Hugh Dennis - top man, super bright, funny and works like a carthorse. Nothing too much troubled despite him being really busy all the time. I've alays like him on the Now show, not so much Steve Punt I have to say.

I'm sure he is. I just don't find him funny.

I don't mind any of them, certaily not Hicks and Pryor, but the others are just ok. Funny, but not great, like Izzard.

Bridges is good but he's not doing nowt new, Chappelle probably my least favourite.

I prefer more surreal stuff, things that aren't as direct, something that seems totally new.

Boosh, Vic & Bob, Python, Partridge, Chris Morris, Eddie Izzard, Spike Milligan... love James Acaster's live shows, love to see him do Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999 

 

 

I had dinner with James acaster during the fringe a good few years ago. Nice lad

Has Jo Brand moved on from 'jokes' about her being fat and her husband useless?

She hadn't at the time 13yrs ago, telly gets switched over as soon as she appears so i've no idea if she's updated her material

Miranda Hart and Hugh Dennis. Unfunny bastards. 

Miranda - now we’re talking annoying fucktards; she seems to have become some kind of National treasure but her voice, her face - sooooooo annoying 

Speaking of which - Josh Widdicombe - his voice makes me want to pummel his nose through the back of his skull.

Eamon Holmes - fat Munich cunt

i’m struggling for inspiration past that - don’t watch soaps or reality bollocks but you can chuck most of them in (except the mucky women in ‘em obvs)

Sarah Millican is another terrible comedienne

She's fucking hilarious both in stand up and on panel shows.

Only podcast I've ever downloaded was her and Jason Manford on his Absolute Radio Sunday show. Had me in stitches.

Now you are talking. What were people thinking? Dreaful, awful stuff. I love folk music but waistcoated hipsters banging a ukellele and a 3/4 guitar need banishing.

favourite line about them was some live tweeting from Glastonbury few years back, went something like

"here come Mumford & Sons, and the crowd go mild"

Probably got some new material about menopause I'd imagine. 

Women comedians are 99% shit.... Change my mind. 

 

Had a corporate do once and Shappi Korsandi was the star turn. Absolute dogshit. Died a death.

We had Tim Vine at a corporate do. About £8k for 20/25 minutes. 
 

Was awful. Just never got going. 
 

Half the time he was trying to catch a pen behind his ear.

You're not wrong. Awful. Had to stop watching a good few shows because she was always on them. 

She must have a cracking agent

Apparently Jack Whitehall's agent is his dad, and is very well connected

Which probably explains the series with him and why gets on TV despite not being funny

I like Acaster. Weirdly funny. Chappelle perfectly described Pryor

“If comedians were the evolution chain Pryor would be the one walking upright”
