Micky Fannagan

[Lordbenny]

I'm sorry but....I just don't get it. Is it because I'm not a cheeky East End/Essex boy? I have just watched his entire stand up and he didn't even raise a grin. I find him immensely irritating. What am I missing?

If the thread title is anything to go by I suspect you've been watching a tribute act.

He had whiskers on his chan again, along came the wind and blew them an again, poor old Micky Fannagan....began again.

I think Micky is hilarious. "Out out" and the story about peeping through the curtains is fking brilliant.

"Sorry, babe, that boat's sailed..."

I wasn't a fan to begin with, but then I saw his stand-up with the sketch about having the sts in India and I was in tears; now I quite like his stuff.

He is one of my favourite comedians. His story about his wife having to go out for the day being met with Micky complaining that he will be left home alone bored all day with nothing to do then as soon as she leaves the house, he runs upstairs to spank the monkey.

His story about being out on the piss the day before 911 is great.

I found his Detour de France show on Sky quite funny, worth a look if you're a fan.

The story about the Americans mistaking his pronunciation of 'house' had me laughing like an idiot.

I don't get him either. Why people think he's funny is a mystery to me, but each to their own.

[P-Jay]

I think he's fantasic, but perhaps I'm wrong, but his comedy is very personal and I think you need to be of a simular age range to get it. He's middle aged, of that age when you stop really caring about what people think of you, but mostly tell silly stories about the stuff you got up to 10 years before, when you didn't have kids etc.

But yes, "can I come in your house, I won't make a mess" had me in stiches.

Went to see him a few years ago and found it extremely funny

Really enjoyed that.

[JungleJim]

his bit about the limp/drag walk - i've never seen anyone walk remotely like that, or at least maybe he's not good at acting that bit!

[TEKNOPUG]

The OP thinks that Upstart Crow is really good. Make of that what you will.

[marcosgt]

He's quite funny - Not a favourite of mine, but he has his moments.

I don't find Mrs Brown's Boys even remotely humourous, though, so make of that what you will...
