Piss poor Comedians

[bobo the clown]

The only, so-called, comedian in the world less funny than Lenny Henry is, surely, Patrick Keilty.

I would happily drill my teeth out with a black & decker rather than watch 3 seconds of that prick.

You've obviously not seen Count Arthur Strong then. Unfunny tw*t of the highest order.

Well, no ... not SEEN him, but I listened to him once on R4. 30m of bad puns & Malapropisms done with a faked speech impediment. Since that evening I've 'listened' just so long as it takes to switch over.

He's bad, my Manalishi-like friend, very bad .... but only on the Paddy McGuiness type level, not the Keilty & Henry scale, no-where near that. No-where near.

I've had the misfortune of seeing him live. I'd have quite happily seen him dead that night.

Just for the record, you're right, Kielty is ferkin' dire.

if you watch the episode of Top Gear where he's the "star" in a reasonably priced car, that's his entire act.

I couldn't watch beyond two minutes. To further compound things, I noticed at the side of the screen the name of a man who is quite possibly the least funny comedian on earth The Iraqi Alexi Sayle: Omid Jalili.

Thanks guys. Great start to the weekend, this is!

Russell Howard. Gobshite sixth form 'observations' made by someone who got bullied at school. I loathe this odious little turd.

I got tickets for Mr Howard yesterday. I tried to get tickets for Jason Manford at the Octagon next month but there were no wheelchair-friendly spaces left

I was going to get tickets for Jason Manford myself but it clashes with a work thang. I've only ever seen his stand up on TV on that Jack Dee at Hammersmith Odeon thing and I thought that he was superb. I've since listened to his radio programme an found it to be far less than enjoyable, but I'll definitely give his stand-up the once over next time.
Shame to read that you couldn't get in, Superstar. Surely all around the periphery of the stage could be used for wheelchair users, no?

I must confess I don't know much about the set-up at the Octagon. I'm just going off what I was told at the ticket desk.

I'm on the the stand-by list so should any tickets become available they'll ring me. Fingers crossed.

I've tried to find an image of it but have failed miserably, and it's really difficult to explain. I'll try. Inside the octagonal theatre, five sides are banks of seats and the stage is basically the remaining three sides and the flat floor at the bottom. As such, an act has to try to play to all five seated sides of the theatre, no mean feat. However, what I was saying about room for wheelchair users is that all the banks of seats stop as if there are two rows missing at the front, a bit like the Reebok you might say. See, so that's where I was thinking of. Anyway, let's hope that you do get one.

Got tickets for Russell Howard at Bolton in Nov, and Frankie Boyle in Preston in Nov too, can't wait.

Sadly Harry Hill isn't touring this year, but got Steve Coogan tickets too......

I'm off to see Russell Howard in November too Batman! Also seeing Lee Evans in November cos I actually think he's p**s funny. Would love to see Frankie Boyle!!

Sadly Harry Hill isn't touring this year..

That's a pity. It means that there will be less opportunities for him to be killed.

[InsaneApache]

Sadly Harry Hill

Sums the prick up nicely.
