I cant stand tom allan and he is on EVERYTHING !!!!!

[coffeelover3]

His jokes are just all one really - camp. AND he's on extra slice now, so I cant watch that lol. Just watched Mock the Week one of my favs, and nearly turned it off cos of him. Am I alone...??!!

I find him funny on extra slice. Love Jo Brand too. Always.

Jo Brand is utterly brilliant

He's really unkind to people on extra slice. i love jo brand but really can't stand tom Allen so I don't watch it anymore. He's one dimensional, so irritating.

I don't think it's unkind, though, it's just his humour and people surely know what they're letting themselves in for.

Unkind if you’re a blacmange, I don’t think overly sensitive people would apply to be on and it’s tongue in cheek.

James Acaster is hilarious. I never used to like him but after he was on Taskmaster and he was so funny I love him.

James Acaster's live show from last year Cold Lasagne Hate Myself is livestreaming for a tenner on Dec 17th - tis my Xmas present to myself and I am so looking forward to it. Funnily enough, I had Tag Carb yesterday

James Acaster is very funny.

I like him too

I like him, but it seems I'm in the minority.

Then again everyone has been gushing about Alison Hammond on here. I'm sure she's a lovely lady and I wish her no ill, but I don't enjoy watching her.

I like him too, think people on extra slice know exactly what they will get when he talks to them.

really can’t stand Alison Hammond just such forced puerile humour.

Ive never heard Ramesh Ranganethan say anything remotely funny but he seems to think he’s hilarious, well him and his mum.

Well he was flaming hilarious this evening on extra slice!

I love him 😍

He was! Very funny.

I adore him and can’t wait to see his standup when CV has gone!

I love Tom Allen, he really tickles me.

Met him at an awards things and he was really, really lovely.

He's signed with Off The Kerb, the way they put their acts out is by pushing them everywhere and seeing if they sink or swim. That makes them more money. It works well for some comedians and, well, others fall by the wayside.

Most acts that you see all over everything are Off The Kerb acts. They like quantity over quality.

Oh and there's nothing wrong with camp. Many comedians have their own brand of humour. Many are one-note or one style. It's either your thing or it's not but camp has been around for decades and I, for one, embrace it.

@oldbagface

He's on Johnathan Ross now. I agree OP, he's crap and very irritating

They have the same agents.

It may not surprise you to know that Romesh is also signed to Off The Kerb...

@Mydogisagentleman

I love him. I think it’s a cyclical thing. One person seems to be everywhere for a while - Josh Widdecombe springs to mind. Every time I turned the telly on a couple of years ago, it seemed to be the JW show. And MBBs is a pile of steaming shite

He's signed with... well you've probably guessed...

I think he's hilarious, but then I'm not at the end of his barbs!

Ooh good. I'll watch it thanks. He's ubiquitous atm as his book No Shame is out, so he has to hawk it like everyone else. I like that he has decided to be who he is and sod it. He's not wrong in saying flamboyance is dangerous - in spite of advances with LGBQT rights, homophobia is still rife. Teenagers still get picked on, still get beaten up, still get bullied for standing out, still get teased if effeminate.
I like him a lot (am watching extra slice now) and his spontaneous comebacks are where he excels. But the OP couldn't even be bothered to spell his name right so he'd probably speak very highly of them

I think he'll go the same way as Stephen k Amos who was hilarious early on but got oveexposed and didn't have enough material to keep up with demand
