[Orange Box]

I once clattered into Mike Harding by opening a door in his face at Barnsley Civic, got a mention in the second half act.

[DDB220]

Too many to quote.

I went to the latest Peter Kay tour at the 02 - It was pretty sad, dated same formula gags, staged crowd participation and punters leaving in their droves throughout the show.

Mickey Flanagan was excellent up until about 5 years ago.

Gervais very good.

I have seen all the old favourites, including the Big Yin in the 80’s in Hong Kong. He was a huge flop.

[Volvo Jack]

For a bit of fun, there are so many good comedians past and present that go on tour and entertain.
Your favourites please that you have seen?????

Here is mine.
1. Ken Dodd
2. Dara O Brien
3. Lee Evans.

Went to see Chubby Brown and he was terrible.

Chubby Brown, Highest paid Comedian apart from Peter Kaye, and such filthy language that his so called jokes are not funny.
Would rate Ken Dodd as my first but am out of touch with modern comedians.
Did see Lee Evans in Bristol but was not impressed with his running around and sweating

On line "The Comedians" has about 8 or so Comics in turn or you can have one of them
solo. One is Bernard Manning, a bit racist even back then . well worth a look

That is sad, he was a very funny guy but I somehow expected him not to move forward, from what you say, and I’ve heard similar, that’s the case.

Jimeoin last night in the Millennium Forum in Londonderry /, brilliant show.

[John in Louisiana]

My favorite story about George Carlin..........

I was speaking to him once (during the Bush/Quayle administration in 1991) backstage at Bally's Casino in Las Vegas and he said he didn't like performing in Las Vegas because the audiences were too conservative and he couldn't say the things he really wanted to. I said I would have thought Vegas audiences would be fairly liberal. George said they were quite the opposite and that if I were to come to the show that night he'd prove it.

I was standing in the wings that evening when George came on and as soon as the applause died down, without saying good evening, he said, "Am I the only one who finds it more than a coincidence that George Bush had an operation on his a**hole and Dan Quayle had an operation on his middle finger in the same week?"

Grumbling from the crowd.

"And why is it," said George, "that the people who are most dead set against abortion are people you wouldn't want to f*** in the first place?"

Boos from the crowd.

George looked over at me and gave a shrug of his shoulders to say "see what I mean?" He then went on with his tamer stuff, which the audience loved.

I've never seen a comedian or had an inclination to,mind you I don't have much of a sense of humour.

Mike Harding, there is a name from the past, he was famous for a song he did may years ago, I could look it up but thats the esy way, Any ideas? Was it Rock'n'Roll Nun? Or maybe this was lesser song.... Its going to bug me now trying to think of it!

It's hard being a cowboy in Rochdale

I think you’d better look it up, M. He did so many albums, I had em all in the day but can’t recall yours. Funny guy, I used to listen to him on earphones when I cycled. Kids in the back of the car loved him, with all the cheeky swearing. Think I’ll dip back in again.

Very funny guy OB.

In my first year at college we had a guy who owned a VCR rental shop and he used to bring in some films every Sunday night for the students to watch, in exchange for a night's free booze.

He would leave the VCR with us and pick it up on Monday. He left us a recording of Mike's series that were shown on the BBC. Me and a few pals sat up half the night watching them. Man, I have never laughed so much. I was literally crying with laughter and my ribs were sore as hell

Comedians I've seen:
Ben Elton
Phil Cool
Freddie Starr
Mike Elliott
The Grumbleweeds

Probably a few others, but I just can't remember them. Phil Cool was really different and impressive.

Stewart Lee in Chester tonight. He really hates comedians.
