Going to Chris Rock on Wednesday. Cunt's got his work cut out to make me laugh.

^ he'll say nigger a lot

[maryhilldon]

He'll be disgustingly rascist towards white folk.

^ he'll say nigger a lot

 

Seen him a few years back. Changes the material for his UK gigs, at least it seemed like that. Did a lot of political stuff on Clinton Bush and Obama last time. My guess is 90% of it will be Trump based this time around.

^ he'll say nigger a lot

Nigger count = 4.

Some of his stuff hit the target, other stuff was a bit patchy. Support act Anthony Jeselnik didn't impress much. Some other dude did a bit before Rock came out and he was funny. Don't know his name which is annoying.

Jeff Ross?

Aw yes, we have a winner. Googled his pic and that's the dude. He dragged a few audience members up to the stage and promptly destroyed them. Ended his stint with a quite un-PC gag on the Manchester Arena bombing.

That's a very low nigger count. I'd be wanting a partial refund.

Has anycunt ever been to see a stand up and not laughed? I totally piss my drawers everytime coz I'm in the mood for a laugh and pissed/stoned but I have noticed a few stoney faced cunts at shows, in particular Jerry Sadowitz and Russell Brand

 

EDIT Billy Connelly 4 or 5 years ago was the worst, loads of folk not laughing, wasn't the best but plenty of standard 'Big yin' chat, wee beige jobby n'that, no point buying a ticket if you're not going to get into it.

Canna beat a bit of organised fun like a standup

[Parklife]

Dave Chappelle - Equanimity on Netflix is worth a watch.

Yes

 

Sometimes they just aren't funny

I believe I was at that tour and I reserve the right to be one of the stoney faced cunts coz he just wasn't funny.

Kinda difficult to recreate observational comedy gags on a written forum but the gist of it was starting off making it sound like he was doing a sympathetic eulogy to Ariana Grande and how she was affected by it, having to cancel the rest of her tour - paused - "God works in mysterious ways".

Aye, went to see a new stars show at the Edinburgh fest and sat through a couple of folk who were awful. Didnt raise a smile from me, and only a couple of laughs from the crowd throughout.

 

Also saw a guy a few years back who opened at the stand. Was on for around 10 minutes. Not one person laughed throughout. He was awful. His big joke at the end, that he spent ages building to was horrendous. The compère came on looking embarrassed for the guy. Couple of years later and the same guy is opening again. Similar response throughout his set, and he brings out the same big closing joke, with an altered punchline. Still no one laughed. I forget his name. Was from fife or somewhere

[manboobs109]

^ That was me man. Put paid to my dreams of stand up!

I thought it might have been sooper-hanz...

[manboobs109]

The only cunt I've seen who was unfunny was Des Clarke but me and the ex were smashed so we laughed like fuck at how shite it all was and a few cunts followed on. Not been to many 'up and coming' comedy cunts so maybe thats why I've been lucky

[manboobs109]

Henning Wehn is class, helps he's so weird looking, gets a laugh just for that.

Go down the stand tonight

You said you're in Edinburgh

It'll be hit and miss I guarantee you...if there's an American fella doing UFO shit just go to the bar...

[manboobs109]

It's a mission of mercy I'm on man. Comedy club not on the agenda. Leith boozers only.

Aye min, Believe it or not Doug Stanhope in Edinburgh about 10 years ago, my favourite comedian and he was fucking awful nervous and pacing about no real gags just random observations, He was apparently amazing the next night though

[manboobs109]

^ mental that about Stanhope. I've defo been lucky or maybe I'm just not that aware of shit

Seeing Brand in a few months. Hoping to catch him during the day for youthful folly and jubliance

[manboobs109]

^ He was class when I saw him. Invited whole audience to the after party in a boozer off George St (tonic maybe) and there was some kind of rape incident. I didn't go. Doubt he'll do yhat again.

It was a one off, I have seen him since and he was superb, The most talented are prone to off days (GMS)

I have to sit through countless acts I don't find funny. Comedy is subjective though as you will always see people that don't appeal.

 

I opened the show at Breakneck comedy on Saturday. First time I have gigged there. Such a good room. If you like stand up comedy then get along there.

I was gonna head along, but telling me 2 days after the gig is less than ideal.

 

Just think what you could have done with an extra £4.

Chiefly your own, I bet
