Finnegan Posted 15 June 2009 Author Posted 15 June 2009 I can't be arsed to look through the thread, but have people posted because they think it's good? I watched five minutes of it the other day and I found McIntyre himself bloody awful. Then there was another chap on and that was painful.Maybe it's young people's humour I think McIntyre's getting a bit painful, he annoyed me in the most recent one but he also only did about five minutes. I think his guests have typically been excellent. Nearly everyone last week was great, Rhod Gilbert and Stewart Francis are brilliant comics. This week was weak in my opinion. And yes, Jo Caulfield is the least funny person ever. I honestly believe I'm funnier than she is.

Finnegan Posted 15 June 2009 Author Posted 15 June 2009 The appreciation of comedy being as subjective as it is, you could well be funnier than most of the turns on it to a lot of people Sure, but Jo Caulfield is so bad I honestly don't know a single person who finds her amusing. She must have done something right to get where she is but lord only knows. I'm not especially defensive when it comes to "feminist" humour poking fun at oh-how-silly-men-are but it's just that everything she comes out with is a tired cliché that's been done to death.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 15 June 2009 Posted 15 June 2009 I haven't seen her so I shouldn't really comment, but is it that women have a different sense of humour to us? I know a lot of very intelligent women who's company I very much enjoy, but only a few of them would I say I share their sense of humour with, and I'm struggling to think of a female comedian I actually like

Similar tastes in stand up, comedy films, literature, the works. I'd say I know a broad spectrum of both lads and girls of different mentalities and, like I said, I really don't know anyone that finds her funny. She just isn't very good - as an individual she is poor, in my opinion.
Tommeh Posted 16 June 2009 Posted 16 June 2009 Just watched this and was very impressed with John Bishop, 1st I've seen of him and he was excellent. Big fan of Manford usually but that set wasn't the best. McIntyre is getting extremely annoying and overshown now however, and how he introduces the performers is cringy as. Skipped through the other 2, looked shite. The only women who have ever genuinely made me laugh are Kristen Schaal and Dawn French.
Head Honcho Posted 16 June 2009 Posted 16 June 2009 I did enjoy the last show. John Bishop was brilliant. The joke about Heskey was good
Libertine Posted 20 June 2009 Posted 20 June 2009 This guy's alright. Quality. Guy on now is good too.
AjcW Posted 20 June 2009 Posted 20 June 2009 Sorry mate u havent had any company tonight haha, yeh i agree loved tonights show.... and Michaels little bit in the middle were he took the piss outta howard the halifax man.... quality!!!
Joe. Posted 20 June 2009 Posted 20 June 2009 I thought it was absolutely shocking tonight. Not one person actually made me laugh, and I skipped the whole of the Northern bloke. Ouch.
Finnegan Posted 21 June 2009 Author Posted 21 June 2009 Will watch this on iPlayer later. Is it Steve Hughes the Australian? If so he's fucking brilliant, I like him. Tomkinson isn't bad either, actually, I've seen him on the Comedy Store / Jongleurs before. Shappi Khorsandi is funny on pannel shows and stuff like that and I'm sure I've seen her do Live at the Apollo but I can't remember if I enjoyed it? I don't have bad memories associated with her so it was probably good!

DB11 Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 McIntyre's joke about the Jamaican looking out the window and saying "Ah I wish I was in Hull" was
ousefox Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 I thought Steve Hughes was the best yesterday. I also thought Shappi Khorsandi was good.
Webbo Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 I thought Steve Hughes was the best yesterday.CorrectI also thought Shappi Khorsandi was good.Incorrect.
Edmund Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 I thought it was absolutely shocking tonight. Not one person actually made me laugh, and I skipped the whole of the Northern bloke. Ouch. This. Mcintyre was the only one I actually found funny and he was the compare. Jongleurs unleashed has ten times better comedians. That yank was frustrating. Talk about time wasting spending his whole act on one joke and the long pauses after each joke. The others were below average, had there reasonably funny moments but like ive said seen better at jongleurs.
MarkDeVries Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 I didn't think it was anywhere near as bad as some of you are making out, all about taste really. Personally, I thought it wasn't too bad.
Edmund Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 I didn't think it was anywhere near as bad as some of you are making out, all about taste really.Personally, I thought it wasn't too bad. Was just brain dead comedy in my view. Like I said I thought Mcintyre was genuinely funny but the others were just your average run of the mill stand up comedians. Ive seen better in stand up comedy clubs including semi pro's. But down to taste I suppose
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 I thought the American was decent tbh. Sean Lock and Alun Cochrane next week anyway, bound to be gold.
StanSP Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 I thought the American was decent tbh.Sean Lock and Alun Cochrane next week anyway, bound to be gold. yes mate. Haven't seen/heard Alun Cochrane. Anyway, about to watch last night's episode on iPlayer
