Alan Carr filming on Peckham Rye

[all_star]

Clearly ED is the place to be filming these days, what with the kev-ster dropping by every month, and now Alan Carr is doing some stuff here (the buck-toothed comedian from the Friday Night Project, not the recently deceased stop smoking guy). He was in the park with a camera crew last week.

Not sure what he was filming, but he was having lunch afterwards in the Rye Hotel wearing a rather fetching yellow shirt with a picture of Ozzy Osbourne stuck on it for reasons unknown...

Alan Carr is possibly the most annoying little git on TV.

[dulwichmum]

I saw him last year at Fairfield Halls and he was really warm and funny. I like him.

On the telly he is very annoying indeed. I'm prepared to accept that he may well be better live. His humour seems like it would be better in a sort of shared, colluding type of atmosphere that you rarely get with the telly.

Dear Mr Ant,

I do know what you mean about on TV, but Graham Norton comes accross as positively cuddely on TV, and live he is completely dreadful. Just coarse and unclever.

Ah, comedy... it's such a fragile thing, really.

Clearly, - I mean, I am the resident quotable expert on Dogging, just read the South London Press! Would they publish my opinion on shoes? No, obviously not.

Quick update - apparently his filming involved him running up to people in the park and flashing them... Did anyone witness the full monty? Or see his partner in crime Justin Lee Collins?

You need to employ low cunning - offer tham 1000 words on "What Shoes to Wear When Dogging"?? B)

[Keef]

Who is he???? Is he the very camp guy with the glasses who is a regular on 8 out of 10 cats? I only think of him cos of the comparrison with Graham Norton.

Well I'm glad *I'm* not the resident expert on dogging

;-)

Well nor am I of course - I should have made clear I was quoting the person who apparently is B)

I love Alan Carr! So many comedians these days seem to love their own reflection a bit too much (stand up Russell Brand). It's great to watch someone who's sharp, totally offbeat and not scared to send himself up completely (love Bill Bailey too for that reason).

[Keef]

Seriously, who is Alan Carr?!?!?!?!? What shows does he do?

I'm rubbish with names.

[Keef]

Cheers Sean, that's the guy I was thinking of. Not a regular on 8 out of 10 cats apparently, but he seems to be on it every time I see it!

Alan Carr is about as funny as cancer.(td)

[Keef]

I sort of have to agree there, I don't find him all that funny, his jokes are just obvious.

[dulwichmum]

Dear SimonM

I am afraid to touch my keyboard re. this topic again, for fear I get myself into more trouble!

DM

[Parker's Folly]

He's so camp he should change his name to Baden-Powell.

[Jah Lush]

Camp as a row of tents he may be but it doesn't make him funny either.

[dulwichmum]

I saw Alan Carr at the Hammersmith Opollo last night and he really was incredibly funny. To be fair to him perhaps it is just that you need to be in the crowd and get into his humour. He was a scream and talked about pushy parents and food allergies - two of my favourite subjects.

Soy milk latte and a coissant prepared in a nut free environment anyone?

[CheekyGirl]

Alan Carr is fabulous. Not to be mistaken with Jimmy Carr, who is hideous in every sense of the word.

[*Bob*]

Jimmy Carr.. why why why?!

For some reason C4 seem to have given him first dibs on every new panel show and programme featuring 'talking heads' that they make. It won't be long before we'll be seeing 'Top 100 Jimmy Carr Moments' - presented by Jimmy Carr, naturally.

Alan Carr is funny though. He makes me laugh before he even says anything.

Stephen Carr - what a waste of space.

LOUNGED!
