Present day comedians not very funny just watched Sara Pascoe on Sunday at the Palladium she was unfunny as are a lot of so called comedians, nothing like Ken Dodd who can entertain for hours!
I put it down to the proverbial ‘generation thing’ – having grown up with people like Ben Elton and Billy Connolly.
I always thought the majority of ‘alternative’ comedians like Alexei Sayle were brutally unfunny, and also have no time for the modern crop – Sarah Millican, Michael McIntyre and so on; I couldn’t smile if you paid me.
But I guess they are aimed at people who walk round with a phone glued to their hand – that’s just not me, never mind.
I don't like any of todays comedians. We switch over when Miranda Hart comes on, she gets her laughs from her pratfalls which after the first two become boring. John Bishop seems to be a nice enough bloke but I haven't actually sat and watched his act.
I'm with andy on this, can't stand Sarah Millican, Michael Macintyre or Miranda Hart. I do like Jack Whitehill, especially when he has his dad with him. I find Ken Dodd totally unfunny, although I'm probably in the minority!
The BBC have skewed the comedy world. As long as you're 'right on' and spew bile and hate re Ukip & the tories, it passes for comedy and guarantees you a very comfortable living courtesy of the licence payers.
Caribeing that Sara Pascoe just been on the comedy gala I see what you mean trying to get jokes out of p.c.o is a no for me. That wildebeest sketch must be one of his finest
