Strangely personable young fellow. The dialect is charming too. He's got to keep the teeth if he ever makes it big though. A visit, or rather about 50 visits at ten grand a pop, to the Osmonds' dentist (an unsung hero of the pop world well worthy of an honorary knighthood) would ruin his appearance.

He could eat an apple through a tennis racket. ;o) If they teeth are for real. Reply to this message | Report message

I knew a dentist who made himself a few pairs of funny/comical false teeth which he used to wear in nightclubs. He had a totally different comic character that went with them too. Reply to this message | Report message

I've just watched the "Black and Cold" video... Not sure if it's genius, or lunacy. Think I'll settle for genius :) Reply to this message | Report message

Very funny love it had a good laugh. Thinking about comedians Spike Milligan was my favorite. Reply to this message | Report message

The teeth are very similar to the false ones I mentioned above. Very funny. Watched a bit more just now. He's funnier than that irritating Harry Hill too. But that's easy. Reply to this message | Report message

Harry Hill I don't know about him he is irritating isn't he. Tommie Cooper another one of my favorites they reckoned he used to drink a bottle of whiskey before he went on stage great caracter. Reply to this message | Report message

>> that irritating Harry Hill I like Harry Hill. The irritating clownish dress and manner are the sugar coating on a sharp intelligence and often biting irony. But I agree he's not everyone's cup of tea. That other chap, the good news chap who is gay: he started off well and has been made to broaden and coarsen his act I notice. The same pressures are probably acting on Hill and everyone else in that game. Reply to this message | Report message

He is bright thats true,comedie is one of the most diificult act to perform in my opinion. Kenn Dodd is one of those comedians getting on now you either take to him or not.I always liked his comedy style a natural.What about that little bloke I forgot his name now ex boxer he is always sweating like a pig a bit forced comedy in my opinion.

>> That other chap, the good news chap who is gay: Is he? He never mentions it in his act/on the panel shows. How refreshing. A song and dance is usually made of such matters which I find terminally boring. I couldn't care less who fancies who. Reply to this message | Report message

Ah. That'll be why he never mentions it, then. :-) Perhaps it's just wishful thinking on AC's part. ;-) Reply to this message | Report message       1

I thought I did hear him mention it once actually. But I'm quite content to be wrong. One sometimes is after all. Anyway: Russell Howard has broadened and coarsened his act, a step in the wrong direction if you ask me. Reply to this message | Report message

Having an interest in antiques doesn't make you gay, but it might make you buy curios. Reply to this message | Report message       1

Lee Evans, another one who used to be funny until he started using the F word in almost every sentence. The most disappointing re-invention of himself was the brilliant Dave Allen who when he emerged again had blued his act, real comedians never need to use foul language.

'The most disappointing re-invention of himself was the brilliant Dave Allen who when he emerged again had blued his act, real comedians never need to use foul language.' Dave Allen, certainly a great comedian always used swear words liberally in his act. I saw him live in the late seventies and his act was superb but blue by anyone's standards. His early TV series were a very cleaned up version of his act. The last series for which he was criticised by some for his bad language was pretty mild compared with his stage act.

Most comedians are much more earthy in live shows than on TV. Live you can get a feeling of how far an audience can go, on TV you never can. Dave Allen was always very blue live, and the live "Thoughts of Chairman Alf" showed just how far Warren Mitchell could darken the character. The best I have seen was Jim Bowen doing a live show with his thoughts and experiences of the show "Bulls eye". I laughed so much it physically hurt.

Question marks as i'm going by my appalling memory here. Last edited by: gordonbennet on Wed 18 May 11 at 16:56 Reply to this message | Report message

It sounds about right time scale, and it was in London. Did he do the drunken Irish contestants? Reply to this message | Report message

At least he keeps it clean on-stage then :) www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3235981/Jason-Manford-My-web-sex-with-12-girls.html?OTC-RSS&ATTR=News (I like him from what I've seen of him too - he was good on The One Show before he had to leave.)

As you would expect, he was quite self deprecating about that on stage. I got to say hello to him afterwards as we sat in the Thai 9 restaurant outside the Hexagon at the table next to him. He doesn't drink either, just has a glass of coke (a-cola) with his post gig meal. No gang of hangers on, just his tour manager and a mate it looked like. Very down to earth guy and quite humble. Nice bloke. Reply to this message | Report message
