Went to the Madness weekend in butlins last november and during the day there was a commedy set.

Most of them were very funny, but there was one American lady who's name escapes me who was absolutely dreadful.

It almost got to the point I felt ssorry for her she bombed so badly.

Anyway, imagine my surprise to only see her on never mind the buzzcocks a few days later.

Just goes to show, she must have some very powerful liberal type friends in the bbc


Katherine Ryan it was. She's still not funny

I despair at modern humour.
I read this morning that the funniest joke at this year's Edinburgh Festival was voted:
“ I dated a zookeeper, but he turned out to be a cheetah”
Yeah, roll over Chic Murray, Tony Hancock et al.


In fairness without seeing how the delivery is, or how it is performed in context of the overall set, its impossible to judge it fairly. The whole list looks incredibly tame when just typed out on a news website, but in the heat of the moment might actually be pretty funny.

Yep. Andrew Lawrence sums today's comedy pretty well i think, citing that 'joke'.

you'll have to cut and paste because i still can't post links for some reason.

Did we get to 8 pages without mentioning the WORST OF ALL TIME?

Noel Fielding. Absolute fking shite. In the worst way.

He's got no jokes. He just combines things together and that's his punchline.

I set up a Twitter bot a while back (it stopped working when Elon took over) which demonstrated his whole act.

https://twitter.com/noelfieldingbot


It's a short hop from Fielding to Sandi Toksvig. Can only assume the person who dreamed up that pairing was the most miserable twunt working in TV.

Another for:

Miranda Hart - just not funny!
Jimmy Carr - he should be clubbed for that annoying laugh.
Alan Carr - yes, love you're gay, we've moved it along.

Steve Carell ( Yank in the US version of The Office) how the fcuk he's made a living out of comedy amazes me. Same goes for Will Ferrell.

All of whom are Gods of comedy in comparison to anyone connected with Mrs. Brown's Boys. How that continues to air defies sense.

Not sure If It's already been mentioned but Richard Pryor was a genius as was the late Mike Reid and Joan Rivers (she was brilliant).

As for worst out in a league of his own is the dreadful and I mean dreadful Patrick Kielty.

I'll give pretty much everyone a good few chances to make me laugh but Rosie Jones is one I just can't get on with. I've tried and tried but her timing is all over the place and jokes are tired.

I bloody love Count Arthur Strong. One of the funniest characters in the last 20 years.

A fuggin long time ago...I saw Billy Connolly in New Jersey. Myself and another Wembley man were summering in New York when a Glaswegian we were pally with informed us of his upcoming gig over the other side of the Hudson. "Would we like to go?" Our minds made up in the positive once he said he was driving a small bus and, that was picking up a party of Scottish gents coming over for a long weekend in 'the Big Apple'. This might be a hoot thought we. How right we were. Two minutes into the ride, after said Glasgow lads boarded and the introductions had been made, one of their group, a Michael Walsh (never forgot his name), asked our mate the driver, "woot is wrong wit yeer vice pal", to our mate the driver? A man, who up to this point, had sounded pretty Scottish to me. Apparently, he'd strayed from the homeland vernacular and had some explaining to do! Anyway, quickly reverting to an intelligible, unintelligible strain of English, we continued on to the great city of Kearney where the Big Yin was doing his thing. Much excited by the potential of these hard nose wise crackers who had absolutely no intention of conforming to another society's norms (I'll skip the confusion in the sandwich shop and the alarm of the local law enforcement when crossing a major thoroughfare), into Mr Connolly's show we did go. Oh yeah, wasn't five minutes in before the question of Connolly's new 'Hollywood' credentials arose, giving the mainly expat audience huge laughs and a complete about turn in his material and delivery, leading to a damn good night out. Unfortunately, myself and my Wembley sidekick had to get a local bus back to the Port Authority, either the sweaties got sick of us or our reluctance to leave a local bar inhabited by plaid shirted men, left them abandoning us in the land of Bruce Springsteen.

Only really one comic I saw live that bombed was Billy Connolly in the mid 90's at Hammersmith Odeon. He really struggled. Kept referring to notes on a little chair he had on stage. Maybe had an off night.

the likes of Frankie Boyle and Jimmy Carr tend to divide opinion but i'm fine with both and going to see Frankie do a warm up gig in a small venue next month.

Miranda, Sarah Millican and the worst of the bunch Rosie Jones are pretty awful and in the latter's case a lot of box ticking by TV execs is to blame.

some of those mentioned on here are better live than TV. John Bishop is a good example, I can't stand his TV but had the chance to see an informal warm up gig and thought i'd give it a go and he was less smug and annoying and actually very good.

Tom Allen does some excellent crowd work and that for me is always a good sign of comedy talent; rather than the bake off type shite they all hope to get signed up for.

lots of comedians now doing sketches completely reliant on their race, sex etc as the woke take over the world.

Paul Smith from Liverpool is quite the opposite and worth going to see if you get the chance; apart from being a red that is.

agree re Frank Skinner ... Just plain boring now. Having to listen to him waffling on during his weekend radio show is infuriating (PLAY SOME BLEED'N MUSIC!!!)... He also has his team with him who seem to think he is still funny, including one member of the team who wets herself every time he says anything...
He is also doing a poetry podcast too which sounds fun

I did say earlier in this thread that there aren't really very many good female comedians but actually I can think of a couple of decent routines. See Sarah Kendall's at the bottom of this post. I quite like Maria Bamford also.

But anyway, this joke is dogshit and she's the first woman to win the funniest joke award since 2008. With that shit? It doesn't even really work.

Here's the competition. Weirdly the bottom three jokes are the three best ones.

The most British thing I've ever heard? A lady who said, "Well I'm sorry, but I don't apologise". (Liz Guterbock 41%);
Last year I had a great joke about inflation. But it's hardly worth it now. (Amos Gill 40%);
When women gossip we get called bitchy; but when men do it's called a podcast. (Sikisa 34%);
I thought I'd start off with a joke about The Titanic - just to break the ice. (Masai Graham 33%);
How do coeliac Germans greet each other? Gluten tag. (Frank Lavender 32%);
My friend got locked in a coffee place overnight. Now he only ever goes into Starbucks, not the rivals. He's Costa-phobic. (Roger Swift 29%);
I entered the "How not to surrender" competition and I won hands down. (Bennett Arron 29%);
Nationwide must have looked pretty silly when they opened their first branch. (William Stone 28%);
My grandma describes herself as being in her "twilight years" which I love because they're great films. (Daniel Foxx 26%);

It's all mostly shit though.

Anyway, I always quite liked this routine by Sarah Kendall.
