TheInspiration 1 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Mock The Week never fails to make me laugh. I'm really surprised Frankie Boyle isn't a bit more successful as he's certainly one of the funniest guys around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14055 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Which just so happens to be an absolutely awful programme. I went to the recording of the first one. To say they had to dig out the canned laughter before broadcasting it would be an understatement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34461 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 There's no such thing as funny women comedians (comediennes?!). FACT! It's not even all that often that you find a lass that's genuinely laugh out loud funny. FACT SQUARED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even all that often that you find a lass that's genuinely laugh out loud funny. FACT SQUARED. I've seen many many comediennes and it's ratre to find one that does actually make you laugh all too many go for the gross out, shock approach, the "I don't expect a woman to say that!" jokes... which frankly aren't funny after the initial shock. a lot of times they rely on the same cliched material, the differences between man and woman, gross out sex, playing with gender roles etc. I think the problem is that stand up has been a male dominated forum for so long that women haven't the support or (dare I say) the balls to try something other than the niche that they've dug out for themselves. Yashere, Brand etc. all stick to what they know and they know fuck all. There's one Australian woman who has done quite well each time I've seen her. Sarah Kendall dunno if she's got enough for a full hour sety, but she's definitely moving up and not sticking to the same tired old shit trotted out time and again by Brand and her ilk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can be quite crude at times but I've seen her shoot blokes down in a crowded bar for fun, no one dares say out to her cheek wise, she'll tear you to shreds. Like one of my mates who slept with her found out the other week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14055 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Sarah Silverman? Total Jewish princess type, I find her quite amusing but rarely laugh-out-loud funny (to borrow the phrase). If you're attuned to American humour generally, though, she might be your cup of cwahfee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34461 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Aye that's her. Like I say I've not seen her, and half the time these articles are written by birds who wouldn't know funny if it hoofed them in the cleft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're attuned to American humour generally, though, she might be your cup of cwahfee. She does seem to be highly rated, though i haven't seen enough of her to comment. I think she has her own show that is in the vein of Curb Your Enthusisasm as well, soemthing like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
