I actually find the delivery really rather difficult, and makes it impossible for me to listen to or watch her.
Yeah, I get that and I wasn't talking about me, I was talking about others. I personally find her delivery uncomfortable. I just so want her to be able to get her words out and I sort of feel for her more than my trying to pay attention to the joke.

It can be difficult given her disability as sometimes you've reached the punchline a long time before she can deliver it, so even if it's funny you've already finished laughing by the time it happens and then it's a sort-of sympathy laugh to show you liked it.

She also gets away with a load of stuff because of her disability and she knows it. Even admitted she defrauded TfL out of thousands not paying for travel by playing up her CP when ticket inspectors came around and getting staff to let her out emergency gates.

Sean lock, Stewart Lee, Steve coogan, Jerry sadowitz and Rob Newman are the top 5 gigs I can remember.....

Recently caught up with Keith Carter who still cracks me up, but his best stuff was 20 years ago as Nige, the park road scally

Jerry Sadowitz was awful when I saw just before lockdown. Loved him from about 20 years ago and saw he was on at the assembly, went along and was the exact same set he was doing back then. Wouldn't go again.

Sadowitz is a fucking madman. Can't work out if it's a persona or not. Brilliant magician too.

Good luck finding anything from him on YouTube though (you won't).

It’s alright if you like Ricky Gervais. Like most of his stuff I found some bit hilarious and some bits not so great.
Exactly the same here. I thought it started off well, but about half way through I had pretty much stopped laughing.

Very patchy.

Yeah I watched it last night as well and it made me laugh all the way through but again not elite level stand up.

I do like him though and still can’t believe people are in ‘uproar’ when you know exactly what he’s about and he actually explains it throughout his set.

People don't watch it or try to get it, they just see a clip online and go off on one.

Just watched it and thought it was great. Much better than Jimmy Carr’s special for me.

The bit about weaning paedo’s off children with dwarves 🤣

Loving how there are Trans Activists kicking off and doing exactly what Gervais said they would. (Even though it was their quotes that were the funny bit).

To be clear:

Rosie Jones (disabled comedian not very funny on all the panel shows):

Rosie Holt (Twitter comedian, not very funny, keeps fooling people into thinking she’s a real MP):

Watched the new Ricky Gervais, was pretty good. Not as good as his earlier shows but I'd imagine losing your edge is bound to happen when you're a multi millionaire

Went to see Joe Lycett on Friday night and it was the worst show I have been to I honestly didn’t laugh once and his warm up comedian was useless as well, my wife who thinks he is great said before he started the main part of the show shall we just go this is shit.

She described yesterday like one of those useless courses that your company sends you on.

Wow really, I went to see his show in B'ham last night and thought he was brilliant.
He got a standing ovation at the end as well.
Not sure if the same support act as Friday but quite enjoyed him too

I agree. Saw him in Cardiff and thought he was fantastic.

However, agree with @Terry Gibson's perm about the warm up act…assuming it was the same bloke…he was absolute shite.

Josh Pugh or something was the support act a guy with long curly hair.

The next big thing in comedy I reckon. He had a great Edinburgh Fringe with rave reviews. A Cov lad I think (certainly lives close from the stuff he’s said on podcasts I listen to).

Loved the Lycett gig. I went to Leicester DeMontford a month or so ago. Different support act though who picked me out on the front row for some ribbing.

Stewart Lee is coming to the Belgrade next year.

Not to everybody's taste, but I find him hilarious.

He's a c**t. I think I'd rather watch Miranda and she's as funny as a funeral
