Episode 2

...was an improvement. The "63-year-old woman has baby" sequence was high-quality pub-style stand-up, and the "Five Children And It" bit was good satire. He looked much less bored this week.

Half the country eh? That's half of us on CUK. Who here has done it?

<cough>


Makes a lousy breakfast!

HTH

Funny Jordan getting upset, when she wasn't getting her boobs out she was sleeping with half the country.

I'd guess she got her boobs out for a lot of that too, actually.

A controversial TV series and DVD in the press 3 weeks before Christmas.

Those marketing chappies could learn a thing or two from Frankie Boyle.

[freelancer75]

People said the same about other comedians who were ahead of their time, Lenny Bruce etc. He is a genius who understands comedy has no boundaries, he pushes the envelope every time. Funny Jordan getting upset, when she wasn't getting her boobs out she was sleeping with half the country.

[minestrone]

It is nothing to do with being shocked or offended, he is doing exactly what every comedian was doing in the 70s. He just turned the jokes from darkies, pakis and poofs to celebs

He is just a crap comedian.

Feck me, it's like reading the daily mail comments on here.

The whole point is you're laughing at something when you should really know better, I was embarrassed to find myself sniggering at his show.

Disgusted with myself, Tunbridge wells.

Saw him on tour a couple of months back. Definitely got a mixed reaction with very few points where everyone laughed. Some of the sharp intakes of breath from the audience were clearly audible.

I found him funny, others not so much. He did mention that this was his last tour as he was sick of the lifestyle, so maybe he's just seeing how far he can push his luck.

As for the Jordan joke, I just don't think it's that funny. She's too easy a target IMHO and dragging her kid into it is a bit naff.

[minestrone]

I fell asleep in one of his shows. It is internet/text mesasage joke standard but he has been brave enough to put public face to them.

His delivery is shocking. It is like going back 30 years where people just turned up to read out gags.

badda bada badda .... badda badda badda *laugh*
badda bada badda .... badda badda badda *cringe* *laugh*

Have you noticed that the gags have got sicker as his books have started to come out?

[thunderlizard]

I watched the first one and found it really joyless. He looked like he was just going through the motions. If you're going to call the audience father****ers, at least put some heart into it.

[suityou01]

Sorry guys I think he's hilarious, and have always enjoyed his unique brand of humour. For example suggesting that all blokes with beards and glasses are closet paedos.

However when I suggested this to a beared bloke in the pub last night the humour was a little lost it has to be said.

I could never understand what Peter Andre saw in Katie Price, he must have been mesmerised by her breasts, but even those are fake.

Poking fun at a media-craving celebrity is fair game (and Katie herself probably accepts that).

But his jokes seem to be making fun of a severaly disabled 8 year old child - that's not comedy - that's despicable.

[TimberWolf]

The other was

'Peter & Jordan have been fighting for custody of Harvey. Eventually one of them will lose and get custody'

[MarillionFan]

Oh, that's the 'joke' he's in trouble over isn't it? It's not even funny.

[TimberWolf]

'I always wondered why Katie Price married a cage fighter. Well someone had to stop Harvey from f**king her'

Yes.
