Agree Cod, I think he's brilliant.

He does a great sketch about being Southern, and what happens when you travel North.

All the other contemporary comics hate him, I think. You watch next time he's on a panel game - there's none of the 'we're all in this together' supportive riffing they do with each other. He's always totally out on a limb.

Really? I haven't noticed that. Last saw him on Mock the Week and they all seemed very chummy.

Why do you think they don't like him?

aRE you related to him?

ACtually, first time I saw him on telly, I thought 'oh what a posh perfumed ponce' but I found him funny and have always laughed at him since.

He's funny sometimes, but just a bit creepy a lot of the time, for me.

I do think he's the funniest thing on 2 legs. Am suprised he isn't more popular/better known.

I think they dislike him because at last year's Edinburgh Festival, when he wasn't nominated for any awards, he ranted at the judges and complained about some of the comics who were shortlisted. He insisted that he should be considered for an award and word got round and they all decided to send him to Coventry (allegedly).

I think it's really obvious - none of them genuinely laugh at his contributions they just dive in and rip him to shreds. David Mitchell is particularly skilled at it.

dd1 and friend are going to see him in Southend in November. I have never heard of him but they assure me he's not an adults only comedian. Can Mners confirm this please? grin

'Chubby braying toff' is not a great comedy persona. He gets on my tits, frankly.

Yet another reason to swoon at DM (ticks list).

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
