Comedians

[Newbridge Wolf]

The one in the blue top, who comes on after a minute, thats the one I know - bloody name escapes me at the moment.

I don't have sound at work so I managed to sit through that in order to see him - they are all as equally as unfunny as each other though.

Tom Parry thats him, just searched my Spazzbook account

Some background: Paddy described Pappy's Fun Club as "hilarious", we found this video:



Quite clearly not hilarious. Cue Paddy having hissy fit while we slagged them off. I don't know if he still finds that hilarious.

I can quite honestly say that's just about the least funny thing I have ever seen. And I include many natural disasters and the funeral of Princess Di in that...

Sorry I just dont get it !Have i missed a bit of the video where they're paying the audience to laugh ?

I can't understand how they've won awards, they've also had offers to write for TV??

Yeah, it's a mystery why...

In fact all the monty python team were brilliant.

I watched Greg Davies in Oxford a few months back and he was absolutely superb. Well worth checking out on his current tour because I have a feeling he won't be playing small comedy clubs for much longer.

I'm also off to watch Milton Jones in Oxford in March which I am immensely looking forward to.

It was painful viewing, decided to see what all the fuss was about - I was somewhat shocked.

As I understand it they had offers to write a sit com, unrelated to the Pappys shite club. Hard to believe after seeing the standard of material they've produced so far

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

One thing I will say is that no matter how poor you may consider pappy's to be, isle of jintsy (?) is without doubt the worst tv comedy pilot I have ever seen.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I doubt it.

Pappy's are truly awful, worse than the likes of Gina Yashere and Little Miss Jocelyn. Just shocking.

I liked Ronnie Barker in Porridge.

I liked Ronnie Barker in Porridge.

Ronnie Barker was a comedy genius though

Tim Minchin has rose to comedy genius recently i like his material, very funny guy.

Stephen Lynch is one of my favourites if you are talking of comedians that sing. Most of his stuff is on Spotify if you want to check him out.

 

[OldGoldnBlack]

I can confirm Milton Jones is fantastic live. If he does his trip through his photo album youre in for a treat

Great shout! His Special Olympics tune is brilliant. I had a pint w Tim Minchin and Sean Lock at the Carlsberg Comedy aftershow in July last year, nice guys. Tim is sound but his comedy is a bit lacking dontcha think?
