Julia Davis always plays the same character - am I a philistine?

I started watching Sally4ever, I’ve seen Camping and a bit of Nighty Night. I like them but watching the last one I’ve realised it’s just the same person repeated - horrible and quite sexual, with different characters around her. Am I missing something?

YABU!

Watch these two clips from Human Remains.

Yanbu
I liked nightly night, everything else feels derivative.

However I do think comedians have their role and do play very similar characters in most things eg Sharon Horgan, Diane Morgan, Greg Davies.

Yanbu. She’s very watchable though.

There was a blonde actress in goodnight sweetheart and emmerdale who basically played herself too 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wasn’t she in Gavin and Stacey as well? Also quite a similar character as I recall!

Try watching nighty nighty and then her chekhov bits and tell me thats the same character

She was very restrained in Alan Partridge Season 2 (radio interview).

Im not usually very good at watching fancy stuff but I do love Chekhov

Cant disagree entirely but housekeeper in Hunderby and Dawn in Gavin and Stacey kill me 😂

LoganRoy · 08/11/2020 13:03

She frightens me a bit. Grin

I will check out Hunderby! I’m not saying I don’t like her btw but I just think it’s a bit repetitive. I love Joan and Jericha though! Does anyone else listen?

The steak and kidney pie bit in nighty night is one of the most disturbing things ive ever seen. Shes also the double of a mad drug dealer who used to live around here.

Yes agree, she's always an oversexed bully who uses her attractive body to disrupt the lives of other women. Funny though!
