Unfunny Comedians

[So]

Have we had Keith Lemon (aka Leigh Francis)?

If not, can we add him to the list?

You may find that he’s over in the
“People I’d never tire of punching in the face” thread, if he’s not, he should be.

Sarah Pascoe. Every time I see her on TV I have the urge to report her to Trading Standards for passing herself off as a comedian.

Shes gone a bit too lefty / vegi / animal rightsie.. ram it down your throat all the time.

I used to like her stand up and fancied the pants off her. (when she was doing jokes about being shagged in a skip... which probably says more about me than her)

I think it says you like horses tbh?

Similar to the horse faced, but fitasfk, snooty, crap comedian that is Katherine Ryan.



I wouldn't mind porking her in a skip, I think it would add to the occasion.

He can be in both lists right?

May be a bit off topic (as he's not a comedian per se) but if anyone has had the misfortune of hearing Radio 5 late on a Saturday morning you will have heard Fighting Talk hosted by Colin Murray, who thinks he and it are hilarious.
They really, really aren't.

Some of her stuff is ok, find her a bit hit and miss... or maybe I just don't really listen properly when I'm watching her

She used to work in Hooters. For some reason.
I think she's pretty funny.

I've taken the bait.... Sanctimonious is the word that comes to mind when I think of Stewart lee. Look at me I'm so clever etc

That is, to be fair, the whole point of the character that he plays.

This is worth watching if you dislike him. (Also if you don’t)

I'll give it a go later

When I went to see him it was the 20+ minute rant about pear cider that really bored me!

And I'm someone who enjoys a rant - went to see Rich Hall in the same venue a couple of years later and enjoyed most of his stuff.

Recorded something the other week by a 'comedian' called Tom Walker, a live stage show with a fictional political reporter Jonathan Pie.

My God, it was st.

he's one of these 'born in social media' not quite comedian members of the public.

In fairness I struggled with that bit myself and I like the guy!

He is exploring a little known and rather specific Form of comedy with his character and explains this in depth in his books.

Look up the braveheart clip on yt. He stands in front of a Glasgow audience and explains how he is 'scotch', that braveheart is a gay peado.

Takes balls!

I'm not sure that anyone who would be personally offended by his comments is going to be paying to see him.

I yoyo with SL, sometimes I think he's brilliant, other times intensely annoying. Either that's what he's going for or I'm too pigst thick to understand him.

I've seen several people walk out of a show in Edinburgh with a long story about jesus and vomit. We all paid.
Watching the crowd wax and wane between uncomfortable to bored to insulted to amazed, back to bored again and finally accepting that this is not normal 'comedy' - nore a battle of wits which SL will always win.

I think.

I'm the same. I like most of his stuff but can't do more than 30 mins in one sitting. Watching him live was tedious.

I like his YT rants/sketches, but I imagine it works best in small doses
