ewerk 31209 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Watching Talking Funny at the minute. Surely the rest of them must realise what a bellend Gervais is? Though he did have a fair point about easy jokes (I assume he was on about Michael McIntyre). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Just bought tickets to Jason Cook's pre-Edinburgh show on the 29th July at the Live Theatre in town. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleeToonFan 1 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Only read the last page like a wanker, anyone mentioned Russell Brand? Funniest comedian in my opinion, a comedian has to have wit and look like he owns the stage, and Russell is brilliant, never too harsh on hecklers either, gives banter but doesn't go ott. I can see how many older lads wouldn't like him though (as a side note his radio show was amazing, cue some guy coming on and giving it the Sachsgate bore.)

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) I saw Brand do a bit on some Amnesty gig taking the piss out of reader letters to the Sun. I chuckled. It was a short bit. Then I saw a bit of his stand-up special on C4, and it was absolutely awful. The material was not only unfunny, it made you dislike the bloke, again, not in a funny way. Based on that I wouldn't pay to see him. Edited July 20, 2011 by Kevin S. Assilleekunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleeToonFan 1 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I went off him about a year ago, then I realised I was probably just jealous about Katy Perry . I knew that wouldn't go down well but I genuinely think he's funny. I need wit in comedy or it's just boring. That's why no show will ever beat Peep Show in my eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7172 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I cant stand Ross Noble 'I saw a road cone the other day, it was orange, like an oompa loompa cone, like if an oompa loompa was a cone and was orange and mystical and all roady oooohhhhh' Its the sort of shite I used to spout when I was 15 and trying to be wacky and crazy cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does use language perfectly though, never uses things out of context and it usually furthers a gag. Can tell he's smart, and booky wook is one of the only autobiographies I like (I was stone faced the whole of Peter Kay's and most footballers annoy me with the exact same templates).

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Fair enough. I saw that 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' on tv recently and it was ok, he was decent as the rock star. I just don't rate his standup, not after that c4 special. Sheesh. I find it odd that a standup would take such offence to being called a cunt.

It's good imo, but it's his weakest, his second (I think) one that was released on DVD is the best, and Ponderland is brilliant. As long as it's not wank like Michael Mcintyre or any comedienne (not sexist, just yet to find a funny one) I can usually enjoy any comedian.

It's the one where he does a massive bit about Bob Geldof calling him a cunt. Really bad stand up imo. John Bishop has better material frankly. I was flicking through tv and saw John Bishop do a bit about dildos that was funnier than that, and Daffyd is writing his material. Have you seen any of Richard Pryor?

Oh come on that retort at the NME awards he did was pretty funny! I hate Bob Geldof so that does come into effect naturally. Didn't he help write Blazing Saddles? That film is funny as fuck! to be fair the Bob Geldof thing is funnier watching the thing happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Check out Richard Pryor live in concert 1979. People generally like that one. He was going to star in Blazing Saddles apparently but the studio thought he was too risky, so I heard. He ended up becoming the highest-paid black actor ever, but from what I've seen his films don't compare with the best of his standup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
