toughguymick@hotmail.co.uk 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 THE LIVERPOOL grandad of missing Madeleine McCann hit out after a comic made “low” jokes about her disappearance. Brian Healy, dad to Madeleine’s mum Kate, told the ECHO he and his family were angry and hurt after Scottish stand-up Frankie Boyle made gags about the night the three-year-old went missing and how the family were coping. Boyle is best known as a panellist of TV game show Mock the Week, but when he transfers from screen to stage is notorious for telling shocking jokes, regularly using rape or child abuse as his subject matter. Mr Healy, 71, said although he hadn’t seen the show at the Philharmonic Hall on Hope Street on Saturday night, friends had told him what was said. Mr Healy said: “If he’s making jokes like that he must be very short of material. “That is really low, bottom of the barrel stuff, going to that sort of level just to get a laugh.” Advertising for the show, called “I Would Happily Punch Every One of you in the Face”, carried warnings about the content. Boyle played three sell-out shows at the Philharmonic over Saturday and Sunday, and was seen by nearly 5,000 people.

I can't say no names due to the legal terms of Boyles contract. He does his own jokes on stand up. That's why its only £10 to see him. The Royal philharmonic in town where he performend is not the Liverpool arena as well, the place is a shit hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17954 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Saw him at Newcastle City Hall a couple of years back and was abit underwhelmed, seemed to be going through the motions a bit. Completely offensive mind. I see Russel Howard is undergoing another sell out tour which includes venues the size of the Newcastle arena. Seen him live too and he's shit, the mind boggles how he has become so successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Royal philharmonic in town where he performend is not the Liverpool arena as well, the place is a shit hole. Considering his mock the week stuff is almost exactly the same as his stand up, coupled with the fact he doesn't do MTW anymore makes you out to be a teensy weesny bit of a lying helmet.

This was a few years back when he did the theatre Royal here. You can't tell how a stand up is from Mock the Week so I was curious enough to give it a go. What amazes me though is that he could sell out the arena twice. The implication being, people are going more than once or are at least hearing favourable reviews. That clear enough for you Edmund? Btw, could never imagine seeing a stand up in an auditorium containing thousands. Comedy is far better suited to small intimate venues, regardless of who it is.

manc-mag 1 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I can't figure out if he recycles material more than any other comedian or I've just seen the same episode of his 'Good News' dozens of times now. Half of his act seems to be him throwing that West Country accent and having spaz eyes tho. Wore off quite quickly as a USP I found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toughguymick@hotmail.co.uk 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Here is one comment taken from the Liverpool echo website don't know if this guy is telling the truth or not but it sounds like a Frankie Boyle joke. bluetrig 9:21 AM on October 27, 2010 I was at his show, i havent laughed so much in years, gutted its his last tour. He even accused a guy in the front row who wouldnt speak if he was jon venebles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toughguymick@hotmail.co.uk 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Heres another comment from the Liverpool echo someone who thinks Boyle is not funny. jimbo58 9:20 AM on October 27, 2010 Frankie Boyle is as funny as toothache. No talent at all and the only way he thinks he can get laughs is by being as outrageous and offensive as possible. I would happily puch him in the face.
