got Jimmy Carr tickets given for my birthday a while back. Had a few beers round newcastle first, then to city hall for the gig. we lasted 20 minutes before bailing out, he was proper, unfunny ****! there was a canny few leaving as we came out, most saying the same, just not funny.
Who are the buggers who like this crap, I talk to loads of people and none admit it.
I still enjoy a few stand ups mind.

made more money talking about taxes since he got his fine.
 
The list of unfunny comedians is endless.

Comedy is breaking new ground, push back boundaries, one liners and there is Tommy Cooper just a comedy genius.

The revolving door of so called comedians on endless panel show needs to end.

My list is endless funny comedian that have made me laught out loud

I could watch/listen to Dave Allen on a loop...one of my absolute favourites.
 
Much of modern comedy is based entirely on the embarrassment factor.

The Office, Miranda, Gavin & Stacey, etc.

Catherine Tate is the worst example, basically just awful characters behaving awfully ...

... I just don't see any wit or intelligence in it.

Comedy used to be about taking the piss out of everyone including ourselves, now its too offensive for the outraged.
 
I watch it mate...quite often have a Dave Allen night.
Never tire of it.

the voice actived flat, "Bugger me" "NO"!!

Or the story he told about the big house and the room no one's been in until she found the key, "if I ever find out I'll let you know".

Thing is, you don't get comics these days like you did when I was a kid. There was Morecambe and Wise, 2 Ronnies, Freddie Starr, Dave Allen, Billy Connolly even Tarby wasn't that bad. Then you had the Comedians programme. Nowadays any comedian goes straight into TV presenting

I'm a mid 80s baby but grew up on all them, including Norman Wisdom. I never found Lee Eveans funny but all my mates did. I remember telling one mate that Norman was doing all this in the 50s when he put Evans on.

I could never get away with Lee Evans either. Another who was seriously good - and seriously mental was Robin Williams. His video Live At the Met was probably one of the best I've seen

Jethro, absolutely class.

Train don't stop comborn Wednesdays.

What I'll do is, I'll hang you out the window, you start running and I'll drop you off when we get to the platform.

They are trying to get a statue of Jethro at Cambourne Station

You'd have thought an Army bloke would have wanted to keep being beaten up by an RAF bloke on the down low.
