I'm a comedienne and I've written an entire routine about this forum

[joanjett]

I love this forum so much , I wrote an entire routine about it . Would you like to see / hear it ?

Jamie - that's what I heard too - probably her boyfriend

So - is the joke about class - the 4x4s, the tapas, etc, or is it about women / MNers?

I think you're talking to her agent...

I liked it, but not as much as I liked what someone reposted on the royalty thread (can't remember the names, but I think that the original poster should be credited, before comic Mary uses it.

Day 1 Roast chicken
Day 2 chicken stew
Day 3 chicken salad
Day 4 chicken pasta
Day 5 chicken rissoles
Day 6 chicken risotto
Day 7 chicken soup
Day 8 we all pass the bloody carcass round the table and inhale it.

I don't think I have done this justice. And I loved Maryz's riposte about her teens finishing it on day one.

What do feminists laugh at? -

Things that are funny, ry.

"What do feminists laugh at?"

You know those funny things? Those.

try us ry

Meh. It's a lazy stereotype that has more in common with the articles that use Mumsnet as shorthand for upper middle class angst ridden helicopter parents than the mothers on this site.

Shame really. The woman seems competent but her material is forgettable.

hully - have pm'd you

like what?

Today, ry, this feminist has laughed at The Missing Toaster Thread. Lots and lots of posts made me LOL.
I love women being funny.

Very very funny

I must be very grumpy today because I didn't find it funny at all.

Eddie Izzard
Billy Connolly
Mitchell and Webb
Tommy Cooper
Victoria Wood
Green Wing
Catherine Tate
Etc Etc

y'know, funny stuff

I thought it was great, but you missed the magic words

leave the bastard

Keep it up, and post more links :o

"Meh. It's a lazy stereotype that has more in common with the articles that use Mumsnet as shorthand for upper middle class angst ridden helicopter parents than the mothers on this site."

This. It's such a tired stereotype.

And I agree with Robot. Hearing a woman talking about "hunting the bitches down" to an audience of guffawing blokes is really bloody sinister to my (feminist) ears.

Well, ry, since you are clearly curious, I laugh at:

Flight of the Conchords
Monty Python
Made in Chelsea
Most Steve Martin films
Borat
Frasier
The racing car film whose name escapes me which has my all time funnniest line of someone seeing Jesus as a "figure skater in a tight white suit"
Bringing Up Baby
Screwball comedies

etc

hth

Jamie - I love all the people you listed - I suppose I just find lots of people funny. ( apart from Lenny Henry )

Oh yes

Life of Brian
Hot Fuzz
Phoenix Nights
Peep Show
Harry Hill's TV burp
Some like it Hot
Spaced

Well we´re all different as I don´t find

Billy Connolly
Mitchell and Webb
Tommy Cooper
Victoria Wood
Catherine Tate

funny at all.

Talladega Nights - that's the film.

diddl - that is your right.

Hully - I love all that too. Steve Martin is a genius and I could recite - word for word - every episode of Fawlty Towers.

That series that has just finished on R4.
Tha Castle.
I had to pull over to the side of the road during the Jeremy Clarkson 'Shall I compare Thee to a Summer's day?' poem.

My favourite comedy of all time has to be Blackadder though.
