Frankly I'm at a loss to know which comedian I should listen to

[Classic Jorge]

Russell brand wowed me with his eloquence and wit, not to mention boffing Katie Perry. However Jeremy-from-Peepshow's argument is also very persuasive.

and denouncing people for being 'complicit' in the capitalist system that creates it, whilst living in a LA mansion and taking the Hollywood dollar.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

His interview with the WBC is quite good, though.

How about Jeremy-from-Peepshow?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Al Murray is reasonably sound. The rest I'd rather not listen to.

[Classic Jorge]

[redgunamo]

every stand-up comedian since has used.

They up-sold me a 2lb beast for £35 (their 1.5 pounder was a mere £20). I panicked and agreed. It barely touched the sides and I had to order more chips to fill me up.

Might as well have gone somewhere propet like Randall & Aubin :-(

Both about as funny as a leg amputation

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Stalin-apologist.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The Ivy tomorrow, f**k knows what they'll charge me for a lobster. Pollen St Social next week and back to Dabbous in December. :rubshands:

[7evens]

You know. Back in the day when people were both original and funny.

[Classic Jorge]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Nothing's changed.

Probably one of the very few to keep the milligan / cook axis alive amongst a tide of very average comics

[Classic Jorge]

You just arent looking hard enough, you're probably more likely to find it on podcasts or youtube than you are on BBC1 and Michael Counting McIntyre's Skippy c**t at the Apollo show.

PS I agree about Vic Reeves, this is the best thing he's ever done imo

[PSRB]

mainstream stuff frequently can be very good, it's just not seen as "cool" to like it

Some of it, is of course, utter gash

[Classic Jorge]

Comedy-Drama!

BBC2! That's literally right next to BBC1!

Seriously though, a lot of the problem is that it's just not part of the schedules any more. Friday night on C4 used to be wall-to-wall comedy, now it's about people with festering boils or prolapsed rectums.

bring 1 Scot" voucher for the Alain Ducasse joint. Have ye been to that won?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

It's rather good.

The Dorchester wouldn't be what springs to mind when I fancy a Chinkie. Perhaps I shall book one of the silly sounding private dining rooms: Pang, Ping, or Pong. :-)

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The chopsticks are solid silver and so heavy they fall out of your fingers, so at least you don't eat too much.
