You've never seen him before?  He's quite funny, he used to be on Fantasy Football League and he's had his own chat show on TV.  He's a brummie, West Brom fan.  I reckon you'll like him Ralph.

Still I'm surprised you bought tickets to see a comedian that you've never seen before.

I've obviously seen him on Fantasy Football but i've never seen him do a stand up sketch!

His stand up is pretty crude I believe stuff about crack heads sucking off horses and the like :mrgreen:

Yeah, I went to see him at the Arts Centre, he wasn't that funny really.
Some of it was funny, but like Yeovil said, he had about a 15 minute sketch talking about horse porn and sucking off horses and shit like that, which wasn't funny.

Still it was only a fiver, so can't complain really  8)

So he's doing 'horse porn' gags at Swindon Arts Centre at £5 a ticket.

So......Frank.......is this how you saw your career panning out?????

Yep, that's what I thought :?

To be fair there have been some good acts there, like Sean Locke and Bill Bailey

Just got back.

Was only a 1 hour 15 min sketch.

I honestly didn't find him that funny and one joke i thought was abit boarderline.

He was talking about pop groups who were one hit wonders and he said Bin Laden was also one.

Then he said ''well Bin Laden is more like a 2 hit wonder''

As I've said in previous threads, Gervais was disappointing. At least it can be crossed of the list.

I've only been to a few stand-up shows. I've never found them brilliant, due to the fashion for foul language and dodgy subjects, although I realise that's partly the point.

I guess the enjoyment factor comes as much with the people you go with and the level of drunkeness involved, but that's a fine balance as well.

I thought Animals and Politics were pretty good, certainly different type of stand up performance. I'll reserve judgement until I see him.

I still want to see Jack Dee live at some stage.

Si, Animals and politics had me in tears. It was as if this one was just a routine. Perhaps I had high expectations because of the previous ones. I found Will Smith, his warm up act, funnier. But this is my opinion. You might be different..

Still it'll probably be more entertainment than Hereford vs Swindon and cheaper too

I maintain that Bill Bailey is the best stand up ever - mad a windows love the bloke.  Gervais was OK, better than my low expectations, but only just - some good gags but nothing massivley special comapred to soem stand-ups I've seen.

Gervais is over rated - FACT!

The Office was genius. But everything since.......meeeeh! :?

I actually agree with that as well, OST.

Extras has been hit or miss, more miss with the last series I thought. His 'stand up' moments have been good, although they are more monologues I guess.

Saying that though, I do like the irony of his comedy.
