Paid Members Dead Mike Posted May 20, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2013 He was okay but I didn't really see what was special about him. Plus this was really annoying - "A'RIGHT? A'RIGHT?! A'RIGHT?!"  I can see why that might grate a little but I like how he's so relaxed & makes it all look so effortless, like he's holding court in the pub as opposed to playing in a huge theatre. I've a comedic soft-spot for middle-aged ranty loser characters though so I'm pretty much his target audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 * Russell Peters - one of the dullest, laziest, shittiest comedians I've ever seen. Yeah, let's have some more pointing at Indians in the audience. Fuck off. Â Wait, there's another comedian called fucking Russell? How has this happened? It's not even that common a name these days, I don't think I've ever met a bloke called that in everyday life. I suppose Brand is OK on occasion, but the rest of them are irredeemably shit.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 20, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2013 i went to the Macynlleth comedy fest a few weeks back, saw 4 shows the highlight of which was Nick Helm 'Greatest Hits' thing where he basically played a gig with a band but did some comedy between the tunes, it was awesome. Â Also saw Tony Law (odd, i couldn't figure out whether or not the act is that he doesn't have an act or if he was genuinely terribly unprepared, still made me giggle), Loyd Langford (alright but i aint a fan of his delivery, dull as dishwater) & Richard Herring (Dave Gorman-esque presentation type show all about the penis, sounds gay but it was funny as fuck if a little bit too long - terrible pun).

He was really good I thought, an act with no act is his act (if that makes any sense).  I watched some sort of documentary of Eurovision the other night and Russell Kane is fucking awful. He looks terrible now too. Brand got a makeover and it did him wonders but Kane now looks like he has an awful disease of some sort. He also mugs to the camera far too much.

Â This guy is as shit as the rest of them except Brand - mind you, Brand's stand-up is easily the thing that I like least about him. Â Peters is dreadful. One of those comedians I absolutely do not understand the appeal of at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted June 14, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2013 Some more stand-up I watched recently:-* Amy Schumer - this was fantastic. She's the one who used to go out with Dolph Ziggler. He's got good taste. One of the best shows I've watched for ages.* Pablo Francisco - fucking crap.* John Caparulo - another fat comedian talking about being fat and not being very good.* Daniel Tosh - absolutely fucking awful.* Jim Gaffigan - I definitely really like this guy. He gets about 25 minutes out of material about bacon.* Eddie Izzard: Unrepeatable - meh, I don't really care for his stand-up.* Eddie Murphy - pig ignorance aside, there was some good stuff in Raw and Delirious but they were far from the best stand-up I've ever seen. Great Bill Cosby impression, though. Even though Cosby is actually far better.* Tom Papa - this guy was pretty good. The show was filmed by Rob Zombie for some reason. Probably the best thing he's ever directed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 31, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted August 31, 2013 I just watched Doug Stanhope's new show Beer Hall Putsch. Â "His asshole is winking like a cyclops in a rainstorm...." Â Â It was absolutely great. As usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Houchen, his show was brilliant at the Fringe. It's essentially an updated version of Fylm Makker (don't know if you seen it, but it shouldn't be a problem if you have). Really great innovative set.

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted September 1, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted September 1, 2013 Watched the Charlie Sheen roast last night, and Amy Schumer was the best thing going. Better than Jeff Ross, who generally walks away with those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undercover elephant Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Sam Simmons in Melbourne was a fucking blast. This dude is proper funny with his excellent acts. His Triple J shit is brilliant also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the flananator Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) Simmons is excellent, saw him in Edinburgh in 2011 and thought he was really excellent. Â Not feeling the Schumer love myself, shes good but not exceptional in my opinion. Her ex boyfriend, Anthony Jeselnik's album 'Shakespeare' is one of the best albums of all time though, punchline for punchline. Less impressed by his Comedy Central show though, admittedly. Â What was Munnery's new show like? Read pretty mixed reviews during the festival! Think he's brilliant, though.
