Moderators Zico Posted October 29, 2021 Moderators Share Posted October 29, 2021 1 hour ago, Not in Crawley said: Yeah Gervais isn't a stand up by any stretch of the imagination. Love Frankie Boyle's put downs of him; "I mean, look, we know Ricky Gervais, he's a brilliant actor, he's a brilliant writer, he's not a f---ing stand-up comedian! Just because Ricky Gervais self-identifies as a stand-up comedian, am I supposed to say that he is one? It's f---ing political correctness gone mad!" Animals is fucking great stand up though I've seen Frankie Boyle live, and he didn't come close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one mate” never heard him tell a joke , don’t get the obsession with him at all Yep that’s him. Same here, can’t see why he seems to be everywhere at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own @jules_darby had a spare ticket so went along was amusing for the first 5 minutes but was then a case of "ok mate, I get it, you want to be offensive but you're trying to hard here" - shock value over substance the odd joke here and there on a panel show, fair enough, but continually for about an hour and a half gets tedious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because she's both a woman and a gay it's like two negatives being multiplied together to give a positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well 99% of the best comedy is scripted, very few who can ad lib for a whole gig I get what you're saying, that it's more a show than a gig(?) i saw steve coogan live once, that wasn't stand up, he did routines as all his characters But animals is nowt like that, it's stand up for me and better than a lot of stand up I've seen (including Frankie Boyle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted November 3, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted November 3, 2021 I saw John Bishop at the Frog and Bucket just before he started turning up on the telly. I found him very funny but his watered down TV stuff is rank by comparison. He went after the sanitised TV money and fair play to him, but he’s not funny anymore. The sold out, scouse fucking cash whore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
