saw this news this morning and was the best start to the day :D 

 

Asim Chaudhry will be superb. He's Chabuddy G in 'People Just Do Nothing'. He, Vine and Howard will be great I reckon.

I'm still none the wiser...

 

although sometimes when i don't know who someone is, they're fantastic because i have no expectations. looking forward to it

just been announced that there will be at least 4 more series.

 

Next series contestants:

 

  • Liza Tarbuck - can't stand her, but will probably surprise me and be better than expected like Mel Giedroyc
  • Russell Howard - should be good
  • Tim Vine - WILL be fantastic
  • Alice Levine - never heard of her
  • Asim Chaudhry - see above

 

Alice Levine is bloody lovely but Russell Howard is painfully unfunny, I'll never know how he's gotten so popular

This coming season has a weak set of contestants, hopefully Levine saves it. Chaudhry will be the idiot of the series.

 

Yeah, I have no idea who Alice Levine is, only ever seen her as a panellist and she wasn't that funny. The missus watches People Just Do Nothing and Chaudhry is funny in that, hopefully he'll be good. Liza Tarbuck... meh.

 

Russell Howard and Tim Vine are in the same bracket of Michael McIntyre / John Bishop anti-comedy, Russell with his shit observations and that mentally-challenged voice he applies to all his impersonations, and Tim Vine is just a bloke who says lots of Christmas cracker jokes and makes a living out of it. I'm guessing there'll still be lots of funny moments but this is easily the weakest line-up so far

I find that part of the beauty of the show is you get to see the real version of these comedians and not just the person they become on stage. I agree on paper its a weak line up but i'm hoping that someone will surprise me as thats whats happened with some of the contestents in the past.

I watched the second episode straight after on the app and it was better than the first but still poor in comparison to previous series. Hoping it will pick up a bit but this type of show is all about the guests and I'm just not a fan of these five!

Yeah it was a bit rubbish last night. I despise Russell Howard anyway so it might be a tough sell for me. Tbh I wasn't overly keen on last series. At the moment it peaked at the Noel Fielding series

Tim vine is annoying me. There's moments where he's genuinely funny but he just seems to be trying to hard to find a cheap gag all the time. Wish he'd just chill out and enjoy it to be honest. 

 

Russel howard is being Russell Howard. The rest haven't left much of an impression at all. Definitely disappointing so far.

I’m not a fan really but I’d imagine her trying to do tasks would be funny as **** the miserable bastard 

I actually used to really like Jo Brand until I realised that every single one of her jokes are either about how fat she is or how useless her husband is

I've always liked Tim Vine, just because he's such a daft sod and I'm a sucker for a crap one liner.

 

I've never liked Russell Howard, but I think that's just because I don't like his act, and on stuff like this you get to see more of the person, rather than someone trotting stuff out that as often as not written for them by someone else anyway.

 

I really like Liza Tarbuck on the radio, but I must admit I didn't have a clue who Alice Levine is. That said, I'm now aware of the 'My Dad wrote a porno' podcast which has really changed my life for the better in the space of a day
