If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

Anyway, he couldn't have been there - it mentions a "long ball" down the Arsenal wing - surely Arsenal never play long-balls, and that sort of ugly nonsense is left to us talentless cloggers?
That what I was told, anyway.

Right, I shall be a guinea pig for the site here. Until this afternoon I'd never heard of Russell Howard. I've never heard a single second of his stuff, I don't know what he looks like and in short I have asloutely no opinion on him nor pre-conceived ideas based on the comments of others. Driving home from work and my mate's bird rang me to ask "We're getting tickets for this comedian, Russell Howard, so would you like me to get you one?" "Can do" says I, "what's he like?", "He's got blonde hair and he's on Mock the Week".

You know, only a bird would ever describe a comedian as such! :conf:

So, I've agreed to go to a gig of which I wouldn't know the act if he knocked at my door.

I shall ignore all comments on here and see the gig with a completely open mind, after which I'll report back (although it's not for about 12 weeks yet).

scrawny feck*, boss eyed and I think he's from devon or east angular or somewhere - bit of yokels' twang to his voice. Generally not that funny - as suggested by batman's patronage. Likely to tell jokes about being caught wanking a hamster by his mum then pulling a funny face.

He's from Bristol.

I recommend the podcast he did with Jon Richardson if you are looking to get into what he has done, I like it.

As for Commie, button it.

Russell Brand did a fantastic programme about ten years ago called 'Re-Branded'. It wasn't a comic thing, just a documentary series about life in Britain, it was great.

Yup. Think it was in 02 while he was a major heroin addict. Have you seen the Nazi-boy episode? Absolutely shows the nice people up.

I like Brand. His stand up is OK but I think he's at his best on his radio show . His book is a great read too.

most have been mentioned...

but just for emphasis..

Alexei Sale - saw his "Hello John Got a new Motor" tour in Warwick - absolute bag of shite - and so far up his own arse nowadays - reckons he invented alternative comedy

John Cleese - about as funny as your dick caught in your fly-zip

Mock the week - the whole shower - how smugly self-congratulatory can you get???

Billy Connolly - totally up his own arse - what does Pamela Stephenson see in him??? (and she's not funny either)

Tony Hancock - utterly unfunny

Jimmy Carr - one trick pony whose trick is crap

and just for balance..

these are indisputably funny...

Humphrey Littleton (RIP) not strictly a comedian - but awesome timing..
Bill Bailey
Jack Dee
Eric Morecombe (RIP)
marcus Brigstocke in rant mode
Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore in Pete 'n Dud (RIP x2)
Kenneth Williams (RIP)

Whilst waiting for Reaper, I've discovered there's something called Tonightly on Channel 4.
Now that's sh1te. I don't know the names of anyone on it, but they're all crap.
And I used to think the 11 O'Clock Show was bad.
