Light relief - Tom Ward on Live At The Apollo

[Tidyspy]

Anyone see it tonight? Tom Ward, the last standup on, was v funny - pansexuals and adding your own boxes to forms, about 34:30 in, I'm still chuckling:

Yes! It was very funny and he made some great points!

Indeed! It made me wonder when it was filmed, and what would happen to a woman who dared to say that stuff? Spot on though

Very good! I'll look out for him on the tour circuit. Love his trousers too!

A non stick pan

really funny

and neatly encapsulates the exasperation I imagine many bisexual people feel about 'pansexuality'

at the end of the day, yes, yes you like person X, but if they like you too and you get together, how are you going to have sex? I know when I've really fancied people, that's something I've generally given quite a lot of thought to......I'm probably not very progressive though

Yeah he was funny! Refreshing. The general lack of humour usually is what is missing from the new culture. I loved the audience mix of youngish and older people laughing together.

I'm surprised they allowed that!

Thanks for sharing that, he was great.

Magic eyes and ‘Other Other’

Very funny

Very sharp, and accurate. “Only applies to young sexy people”, yes, some isms are more woke than other isms aren’t they.

I was going to add that I was impressed by his flexibility (in the shoe sketch) but realised in time that it might be misinterpreted.

Never heard of him, he is great!

“It was an aura with a knife.” That really made me chuckle.

I love the way he extends the gender blind thing to absurdity

"Every soul's a goal"

Thanks for the laugh.

'The ones I'm jealous of are pansexuals, they can't even see gender. They've got magic eyes.
Blinded by their own openness.'

Alan Carr poked fun at non binary and all the new glam sexualities on his tour in Nov. Got a big laugh.

Thanks for that OP!

There was a point near the beginning where it seemed the audience held their collective breath, unsure whether they were about to receive a fifteen minute lecture on how awful they were for their genital preferences, and then the plainly relieved applause when it became clear he was skewering absurd id pol adherents instead! Very good. Well done that man

Loved this, thanks OP! Especially the bit about a pansexual witnessing a crime... "It was just an aura with a knife!"

Agree a woman doing this routine would be pilloried though

Magic eyes and ‘Other Other’

Very funny

but I do see age- it's disgusting

"Blinded by their own openness" is a cracking summary.

Very enjoyable and astute set!
