I'm an Izzard fan, bit I stick by my earlier comment that he peaked years ago


PGC I don't get Harry Hill either, have never found him funny. Although he seems a nice bloke.


I don't watch many panel shows, but I do watch 8 out of 10 because Sean Lock and Jon Richardson always seem to give me a couple of good laughs.

Jo Brand our local Er comedian stated by being very crude i dont know how she is now I never look.

At her first gig she faced "an audience from hell" and, waiting to perform last, drank seven pints of lager. She thus faced her first live audience with a bursting bladder. As she ascended the stage, a male heckler started shouting, "Fuck off, you fat cow" and kept up the abuse until her performance finished. There was no applause.

Bob's right it is subjective - so will hopefully cause huge rows


Bill Bailey - smile rather than guffaw...


Micky Flanagan - one-very-old-and-tired-trick-pony - not funny , come on , what IS all that bollocks about being cockney?!? Get over it and tell a fucking joke.


Sean Lock, Lee mack, Richard Ayoade tee-hee


Noel 'Mighty Boosh' Fielding - it's over mate.

I fell asleep on my boyfriend's shoulder at a Noel Fielding gig once. We were sitting in the middle at the front. I woke up with a start and he was staring right at me. He didn't look happy. Too bad. I'd had a long flight and he wasn't funny.


Never seen Micky Flanagan in anything or heard him tell a joke so can't comment. Said hello to him once in the Great Exhibition because his face looked familiar so I thought I must know him and it would be rude not to. He was confused but nice.

I dunno... laugh-out-load moments in Delirious and Raw, but a lot of outrageously homophobic stuff that makes Jim Davidson look PC.

UP JO Brand is good, and it looks like the delightful clever and super funny Eddie Izzard is coming out tops on the thread... good rase ED


and Otta, how did you get you vid of Lenny H into you thread, I though Admin had blocked images (and vids) in the thread... if we can share funny vid clips then we are on another planet of delight... will try adding one now (at home ill so got plenty of time on my hands!!!)


I didn't catch it 'at the time' Mick so couldn't honestly say what I would have thought of it. I would have been 14 or 15. I do remember someone coming into school quoting Andrew Dice Clay material and I definitely remember thinking 'that guy sounds like a horrible cnut' so it's possible I might not have laughed at Eddie.


Around 14 or 15, I think I was feeding on repeats and audio cassettes of NTNOCN. Most of that material still works today.


Eddie, on the other hand, was embarrassingly out of date within the space of a few years. He's tried to distance himself from it ever since - should it hamper his career providing cuddly comedy voiceovers for family films.

On youtube under the video there will be a "share" button. Click that and a few options come up. One is "embed". Click that and it gives you some code to paste straight in to your post on here. That will put the video in your post rather than just a link.

The bit I had in my mind was a sketch where his aunt fired her shoe at him as a child from some distance with great accuracy. I had forgotten the aids bit, but I'm sure its all horribly dated if you were to watch it now, but there is not doubt he was hot at the time.


...Think I watched it in the very late 80s.

Not funny:


Gervais - brilliant writer, but a truly awful stand-up.

Stewart Lee - less funny than a dose of the trots

Miranda Hart - ugh.


Micky Flanagan's "'Ouse/Ass" routine did make me cry with laughter, but I've seen little else funny from him.

That's the great thing about comedy, isn't it? There's a level for everybody.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
