Lee Evans is about as funny as skinning your ballsack and dipping it in vinegar.

Agreed but rarely have I seen a comedian that splits opinion so much. Hardly anyone thinks "he's OK" rather he's the best since sliced bread or just seriously not funny in anyway. He must just appeal to certain peoples sense of humour leaving the rest of us completely bewildered.

I've just finished watching Ricky Gervais - Science on dvd. I found it really funny, although I know a lot of reviews have slated his performance.

Maybe I liked it more because I'm a big fan of his anyway and love listening to his podcasts.

Got that for Xmas, and while funny I think it's the weakest of the 4 stand-up routines he's released on DVD. The extra bits with Karl Pilkington are as good if not better - particularly the one with Warwick Davis.

Off to see Rhod Gilbert tomorrow ....

Watched Steve Coogan's Alan Partridge and Other Less Succesful Characters on Channel 4 recently, and good gravy it was awful stuff. Even Partridge couldn't save it, though he did get the only decent gags. Just goes to show there's more to a good show than just the performer, he's powerless without Armando Ianucci in the background.

I haven't seen that, but I was watching Alan Partridge's web series on Youtube and I think Coogan's lost the character. The cracks were starting to form as early as Series 2 of 'I'm Alan Partridge.'

You are kidding me? The latest web series as Partridge is the funniest thing he has ever done!

Up there with Saxondale for me (VERY underrated), the humour can be quite subtle at times but the man is a genius as both a comedian and an actor.

It has its moments but there's still too much Coogan and not enough Partridge.

Watch the first series of I'm Alan Partridge and then watch the later stuff. You'll see.

Whether or not he is a character created by Gervais i'd still much rather watch Karl Pilkington than him.

I have to agree with Topman. The first series was pure genius from beginning to end. He'd become a caricature of himself in season 2.

[Sandiway Blue]

Whether or not he is a character created by Gervais i'd still much rather watch paint dry than him.

just amended that for you!

Time to end this debate, game, set and match.

Step on the goddamned gas

[BuckyRover]

I'm going to see Trailer Park Boys live in London at the HMV forum in March.

I have high hopes

Sarah Millican is at KGH on 22nd October. Looking forward to that and got some good seats

[Ste B]

Went to see Mark Thomas last night in Manchester. Interesting how somebody can make walking around the Israel/West Bank wall funny but still have a point.

[Glenn]

Saw him in Leeds a few years ago, both brilliantly funny and very thought provoking.

I went to the Comedy Store in Manchester on Saturday and what entertainment it was. For £20 4 comediens plus a cracking compere made it well worth the entry fee.

drinks reasonably priced and a complete sell out.

I thought it was you I saw on the way out - we were up at the back.

[Tom]

Went to a sportsmans dinner tonight, John Stiles (son of nobby) was the after dinner speaker, very very funny although totally un PC but I suppose a sportsmans do is one of the only times you can get away with that kind of thing these days.

[Tom]

Got my tickets to see Mcintyre and the MEN next year, Block P Row P which I think is front and central (i hope)

[Guest linganzi]

Just to clear things up

Frankie boyle truly awful as is Sarah millican

Steven k amos Kevin bridges over exposure

Good, Daniel kitson mark Watson jonny Vegas is absurd live as is Angelos epitethemiou who I saw recently

Went watching half of the Amateur Transplants last night at The Lowry. The other half is actually sitting his exams at the moment, but Adam was brilliant by himself.

This is probably their most famous song -

(wear headphones if kids are around!!)
