What happened to Mike yarwood and Lord Charles ?.Dick emery, Benny hill and of course the greatest ever " i'm not as dumb as you look ", " if I had any sense I would walk out on you " " I will hit you so hard he will feel it" Laurel & Hardy as Diddles and Sombrero said, comedians at a different level than any one else, and Stan's sister lived a couple of streets away from us in Roker !.
Probably different audiences. And its probably a long time since Paul Whitehouse was called modern, issue of scale that though.
You'll probably know what I'm talking about, you seem to know obscure comedy. Just managed to pick up Drawn Together Series 1 for less than three quid on Ebay.
I've been watching Rising Damp from the 70's & 80,s with Leonard Rossiter, brilliant comedian. the problem these days is the PC brigade!
Teenage granddaughters have just found stand up comedy with that little Scottish twat who bounces about the stage and they love it. Can't remember his name but he makes my toes curl. Wife tells me his name is Michael McIntyre.
Can't stand that guy, he's a ****ing dope. I'm not sure he's Scottish mind, I'd say he's more of a poshy from somewhere like Shropshire or Cambridge. Total toss pot, thinking waving his hair around is funny. The one Scottish guy I do like mind is Kevin Bridges, he's been good for around 4/5 years now, still a young lad as well so plenty left in the tank. I'd say he's about as good as the stand up thing gets at the minute. On the other hand, the worst Scottish comedian, or comedian full stop, Frankie Boyle, never seen anybody try harder to be funny in all my life, he fails spectacularly.
There's a sports shop near me that sells loads and loads of baseball bats. Never any baseballs, for some reason....
December 29th. He wanted to put in all the days in between Christmas Day and New years day. The mother ****er.
