Comedy is such a personal thing that what's funny to one person is absolute horse dung to another. I like Lee Evans, Dave Allen, Eddie Izzard, Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey and early Billy Connolly. Can't be doing with the likes of Noel Fielding, Jack Whitehall and Chris Addison and those female comediennes who's whole act surrounds men and periods.
I went to see Jerry Sadowitz (sp?) last year in Ediburgh. Man, was I disappointed. **** rape rape ****s I like to rape ****s with claw hammers in the ****. I have got no problem at all with questionable material, but there was nothing to it at all beyond failed attempts to shock. The only entertaining part of the show was some daft woman who'd obviously not realised what she was buying a ticket for standing up and hurling abuse at him when he was far too far way to hear her. 'You're the ****. No, you're' the ****. How ****ing dare you?' etc. I warmed to him a bit after that.
He was funy a few years ago bit of shock comedy, crap magic and great card tricks. Now he just old n past it trying to outshock Frankie Boyle who is now past his best by trying to be too shocking!
Yeah, I went with some guys who'd seen him in the past and raved about him. They seemed to think that he was playing too large a venue and was bottling it and so over-compensating. Jack Whitehall is a ****. His head is far too big for his shoulders and he dresses like a student sorely in need of a kicking. He's a middle-class **** as well. [edit]Oh. And women who confuse nationality with personality. Andi Osho. Gina thingy. In fact, women just aren't funny. Also, they can rarely rock.
That Eddie Izzard Darth vader thing just had me in tears. Billy Connolly is my all time fav,but there are loads of stand ups that do it for me.

DevAdvocate by a country mile. If you haven't seen him live, he trialling his new material in this year's Edinburgh Festival at the Assembly Rooms. Tickets £10.
I watched an old version of Live at the Apollo last night. Al Murray was hosting it and the guests were Chris Addison (?) and Tim Vine. I'll be honest, I didn't enjoy any of them, which is unsual for me as I usually enjoy most stand up comics. Tim Vine just made constant cheesy jokes which are ok for a certain period but after a while they get tedious. Al Murray talks about being British, drunk and how much he hates the French, which is a bit boring, after you've seen him in one of his programs or stand ups you'll have heard all of his material then. So I'll nominate them 3 as the worst stand ups. And Andi Osho, who is terrible and plays the race card way to often.
