stez Posted 30 March 2007 Posted 30 March 2007 'Cos I've not heard of him and don't know who he is. i'd not heard of him, before i'd heard of him, but that didn't make him unfunny
Population-1 Posted 30 March 2007 Posted 30 March 2007 For me the guy is up there will Ben Bailey as the best comic currently on the circuit. Yes, he is guilty of recycling his material from time to time, but his wizadry with the English language is something to behold. Very much a UK comic. I watched him live in 2005 - if you ever get the chance I would highly recommend the gigs with his 'comedy sidekick' John Archer. Archer is very much the brash cockney to Vine's 'puntastic' golden boy charm. I think the fact he can make you laugh almost continuously without having to resort to swearing, sex or risque subject matter makes him stand out the most. He does not have to make highly charged political comments or ridicule public figures (including audience members) in order to provoke a laugh. He may not be as adaptable as Peter Kay, but his wit is on a far higher level. His DVD is an excellent purchase too.
lcfc_jme Posted 30 March 2007 Posted 30 March 2007 i'd not heard of him, before i'd heard of him, but that didn't make him unfunny ok.
Joe. Posted 30 March 2007 Posted 30 March 2007 I know people find different things funny but I didn't laugh once through watching a couple of clips of his...
Brainy Posted 30 March 2007 Posted 30 March 2007 I can see stez is trying 110% but he just isn't funny.
davieG Posted 30 March 2007 Posted 30 March 2007 "So I got home, and the phone was ringing. I picked it up, and said 'Who's speaking please?' And a voice said 'You are.'" "So I rang up my local swimming baths. I said 'Is that the local swimming baths?' He said 'It depends where you're calling from.'" "So I rang up a local building firm, I said 'I want a skip outside my house.' He said 'I'm not stopping you.' "So I was in my car, and I was driving along, and my boss rang up, and he said 'You've been promoted.' And I swerved. And then he rang up a second time and said "You've been promoted again.' And I swerved again. He rang up a third time and said 'You're managing director.' And I went into a tree. And a policeman came up and said 'What happened to you?' And I said 'I careered off the road.' The other day someone left a piece of plasticine in my dressing room. I didn't know what to make of it. Exit signs. They're on the way out, aren't they?

Flynny Posted 30 March 2007 Posted 30 March 2007 I love this, but it's difficult to put into writing: 'I walked into my local camping shop and said [Gay Voice] 'I'd like a tent please'. "Two camp?" [deep voice] 'Sorry, I'd like a tent.' And then I said "What about a caravan?" "Camper?" [Gay voice]"For gods sake make your mind up!"'
