Thinking about booking Kerry Godliman at the glee club and Henning Wehn in Walsall early next year
Really like Henning Wehn.

Forgot about Frank Skinner, his stand up is brilliant

Frank Skinner the best I've ever seen, twice, once in Lincoln about 93, next in Oxford just a couple of days after Diana died.
Said he'd list a fortune as just taken his investments out of flower shops and put it into land-mines.
Bill Bailey brilliant too, seen him loads, first time at The Belgrade about 98.
Stewart Lee is a genius, and really not as po-faced and right on as his detractors would have it.

Bit undrelated, but I remember someone on here saying how much they used to enjoy Dave Gorman's Modern Life is Goodish. His new programme starts tomorrow night on Dave if they're interested. Looks more panel oriented than him just doing a show.

Yes, I am not convinced to be honest, but I do like him and will give it a go.

saw Bill bailey a couple of times, very good. Some of the stuff he did early on in his career around 70s TV was brilliant.

He was good at the Warwick Arts Centre.

We’re going to end up with Alan Sugar as PM and it’ll all be our own fault.

Billy Connelly was a stand up genius in his day, and I like another Scotch comedian now in Kevin Bridges. Funniest comic I've ever seen live was Ken Dodd, old time comic but his one liners were brilliant. Mickey Flanagan is funny too.

Damn I forgot that was on. I’ll have to see if it’s on catch up.

Had tickets for that, but had an operation on my knee that day under general, and was on crutches, gutted I missed it.

A cursed gig that. My mate and his wife didn't go because his mum died, and my parents didn't because my Mum ended up in hospital.
Gave away a lot of free tickets!

I wanted to like his most recent Netflix special but he spends a bizarre amount of time mocking people who've been a bit mean about him on Twitter, like Father Ted's acceptance speech come to life.

It's pretty weak stuff. Anyone could go on Twitter and find people to make fun of. I think Twitter might be one of the main reasons his output has gone to shit.
He uses it to perpetuate the idea that everything he does is amazing with constant retweets of randomers praising his stuff. It's like his own little echo chamber.
I remember when he used to be ironically smug and self satisfied.

I have heard from someone in the know , that Peter Kay is not as warm and friendly as you’d imagine
Also according to them Mickey Flanagan has no airs or graces and is really decent along with Micheal McIntyre who supposedly on the last night at any venue treats the backstage crew to drinks and takeaways , I don’t know if this is standard for acts . But I was genuinely surprised about peter Kay

I've heard similar about Peter Kay. Apparently he's a pain to work with and just generally up himself.
Charlie Brooker used to write a TV column for a newspaper and he said that it's nearly always the case that people who appear overly nice on TV are arseholes in real life.

Peter Kay is seen as a plagiarist amongst comedians, basically his most successful work is co-written. Anything he's done without Neil Fitzmaurice / Dave Spikey has been pretty poor.

I want Charlie Brooker to concentrate on making more Black Mirror episodes.

There's somebody who is supposed to be genuinely nice
My daughter's boyfriend user to work at Endomol and said he was a lovely bloke.
Miss Screen and News Wipe though, and think last series of Black Mirror was a big dip in quality compared to previous.

We can all be nice (though some choose to just be greedy) when the money is rolling in. When the chips are down however even the nice get nasty!

So Ben Elton...very much to type, didn't disappoint & only got really over-political at the end. Was very funny on some serious life topics

Frankie Boyle or Jimmy Carr for me.... Ricky Gervais is also brilliant and does lots of work with animal charities which is fantastic
Like it Clint...Jim Jefferies is quality, well, if you like brutal humour ! As you say especially earlier sets...got a bit more hit and miss (and preachy) more recently, still like though. Seen him three times live
Ricky Gervais, Russell Brand (I know he’s a cock but always liked a lot of his stand up), Kevin Hart. Old school, Eddie Murphy

Went to see Romesh Ranganathan last week and he didn’t disappoint. Very polished performance as well, made it look effortless.
just saw his stand up on the comedy channel...very good !
