Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 8 January 2016 Share Posted 8 January 2016 Shaun Lock is great on the tv but saw him at De mont and he was dreadful. My mrs even tried to heckle him, which was the funniest thing all night! This guy? http://www.musicteachers.co.uk/teacher/b6834cd9af313a05ae47 He doesn't look that funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveherbe Posted 8 January 2016 Share Posted 8 January 2016 Michael Mcintyre and Jimmy Carr are AWFUL. And that Millican bint. Peter Kaye on the other hand is God in my eyes. Oh, and Jasper Carrot live is unbelievable, I very nearly died at one of his shows back in the 1870's. Or did I mean 1970's - or 80's. I love dementia.

Haydos Posted 8 January 2016 Share Posted 8 January 2016 Every female stand up ever. It's not that I'm sexist, it's an actual fact. I can't think of a single one who's any good. I find Ruby Wax the best out of the lot. Joan Rivers can be pretty ****ing funny. Fair play at her age as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkie Bennett Posted 8 January 2016 Share Posted 8 January 2016 The worst stand ups I've seen live are Dominic Holland and Roy 'Chubby' Brown. The best are Mark Steel, Ardal O'Hanlon and Clive James (not strictly a stand-up, but he toured his one man show in 2009 after performing it at the previous year's Edinburgh festival).

Webbo Posted 8 January 2016 Share Posted 8 January 2016 I saw Chubby Brown in Blackpool in the 80s. If you've got a strong stomach and had a few drinks he's hilarious. I've seen bits of his show on youtube and it's really not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellend Sebastian Posted 9 January 2016 Share Posted 9 January 2016 And the fact that she's dead. I always assumed she'd be dreadful but after she died they repeated this 'an audience with...' type things on telly and I really, really enjoyed it. Just this filthy old cow being outrageous and offending pretty much everyone but with fantastic comic timing. Unexpected laughs are always particularly good, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just this filthy old cow being outrageous and offending pretty much everyone but with fantastic comic timing. Unexpected laughs are always particularly good, I think She was very good. I know what you mean - I'd always assumed I wouldn't like her, but when I finally saw some of her material, I was really impressed. She certainly pulled no punches. Definitely my favourite female comedian. Shame she passed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MattP Posted 9 January 2016 Share Posted 9 January 2016 Jim Bowen was actually good live. In terms of response and delivery though I don't anyone can ever top Bernard Manning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surrifox Posted 9 January 2016 Share Posted 9 January 2016 I really dislike Jo Brand and Jimmy Carr . But I stopped enjoying most comedy after the 80s ! Ben Elton did it for me . I am also probably the only person that found "Gavin and Stacey " about as funny as amoebic dysentery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
