I couldn't stand John Bishop to begin with cos he was being 'the comedy scouser'. Now he's just being a comedian he's fantastic. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54814&page=3#post-158746 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 14:02:28 +0000 Tripod 158746@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>(where are Hale &amp; Pace these days?)</blockquote></p> <p>Hale is giving blowjobs to sailors, Pace is living in a park.

I guess that all but the best comedians have a short ‘shelf-life’ and feel the need to rake in the readies before the public move on to ‘this year’s big-thing.’ It can be years before the media ‘rediscover’ comedians (where are Hale &amp; Pace these days?) and in the interim, it’s panto and rep.<br /> As for Gina Yashere - promoted by lefty luvvies as a ‘right-on’ comedian, but completely unfunny. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54814&page=3#post-158731 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 12:50:13 +0000 ronseal 158731@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Chris Addison - he seems very sanctimonious doesn't he?

Just the mention of her name winds me up. I've seen her do stand up once, seems to be of the opinion that the louder you say something the funnier it is. To be fair, I don't think she was as awful as I was expecting. That's the benefit of low expectations.</p> <p>Does she mostly just exist to appear on those "50 top moments in reality TV where somebody said something that sounded a bit like a rude word but wasn't actually a rude word" shows?</p> <p>Who is responsible for getting the guests on those things? And why don't they just pick homeless people off the street to do it instead? They'd probably be more insightful, and cheaper. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54814&page=3#post-158708 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 11:44:36 +0000 Rootin Tootin 158708@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Women comedians - some good, some bad - can anyone stand that Gina Yashere?</p> <p>Miranda - 1st series fine - after that, v predictable</p> <p>Mrs Browns Boys - possibly the most painful TV viewing ever.
