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.

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Eddie, on the other hand, was embarrassingly out of date within the space of a few years.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.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By malumbu · Posted

      @first mate  just Google the Green's policies and AI should summarise.  For sustainable transport this includes more initiatives to get people out of their cars as you would expect.  I've always been broadly in favour of their environmental policies, although feel they should go further on culture change. Some of their national policies are bonkers and/or unrealistic - as are most of Reform's.  Historically fringe parties could come up with nonsense, as they will never govern.  Of course whilst I don't expect that Polanski will ever be PM that other bloke could be.  Worrying times, particularly if the Greens split the centre/left vote.  It would be better if One Nation Tories could split the centre vote (and drag some of those on the right), but they don;t have a lot of influence in the current party. One particularly bonkers policy was one element of the Greens who wanted us out of Europe, not because of Europe being pro market/capitalism but because we needed a recession, deindustrialise, so we would all go back to the middle ages.  Or something along those lines.  I lost some friends because of this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03y5trr#:~:text="Protectionism against developing countries%2C savage austerity in,the case for either remain or leave. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/08/eu-reform-green-brexit

      ED Nature Watch

      By malumbu · Posted

      I've planted a meadow out front, it needs a lot of work.  It's lovely until August and then grotty until the next spring as once the flowers have died back it doesn't have a lot going for it.  Clover is the last one to flower.  It will get admiring looks when in bloom. I laugh quite loud when I pass one neighbour with plastic grass, not only is it dead to nature it is not even laid well,   I should be crying.

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By TheRoses · Posted

      Andy did a number of jobs for me and was very reasonably priced. He's very helpful, arrives on time, pays attention to detail and a nice man. I'll be using him again and recommending him to my friends.
