jukel123 6,570 Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Yes Dave Allen was a funny guy. He got you thinking too. I remember he always signed off with "may your God go with you". 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 6,570 Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Anybody ever watched Frasier? It's a marmite series. You either love it or hate it. I love it. I leave it a few years and then watch the whole series again. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stumfelter 3,032 Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 In the eighties I went to a "gentlemen's evening", you know the sort strippers, maggot racing, putting the candle out etc and they'd booked a woman comedian who was fcuking dire, well you can imagine it, thirty half cooked lads all finishing her jokes, groaning and constantly shouting "get your tits, fanny, clunge out or get off you're shit". One of the funniest things Ive ever seen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When father Ted first came out, RTE refused to show it, to afraid from the back lash frome the church, that's how Channel 4 got their hands on it, my dad's always been a fan of his, he has a bit of his stuff going back years, we're he's doing stand up dressed as a priest, and if I'm not mistaken he sang the song, thank you very much Mr Eastwood, I think it's a piss take of the boxer Barry mcguigin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,387 Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 I've been watching a few American comedians recently.. Steve Hofstetter is pretty funny, his heckler put downs can be hilarious. He says his all time favourite comedian for hecklers is Jimmy Carr. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody messed with the church in those days. I didn't know that.I remember Barney Eastwood was Mcguigan's manager. I can't recall the song though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The stripper would get some pissed up lad out the audience, strip him off and fcuk about with him "is that it, I've seen bigger on a hamster etc" and as a party piece get him to lie face down on the floor, cover his arse in talcum powder, stick a lit candle in his crack and then whack his arse with a belt. Big puff and the candle went out, hilarious to watch but why the fcuk they went up in the first place is beyond me! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was a pisstake on McGuigan being so respectful to his manager. Mind you all boxers were like that in the old days. Their script was " I would like to thank my manager, my promoter my trainer etc etc boring boring boring. And then along came Mohammad Ali and tore up the script lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
