Just booked up for his performance in March, just hope he's as good in real life as he is on the box!

Anyone seen him live?

Garbage comedian IMO.

He has 4 types of jokes and no versitility at all. :grin:

I thought you were going to say he'd been found dead!!!! confised

If he's as good live as he is on the Telly he'll be shite!!!! :grin:

Watched him on QI on Dave and he was out of his depth when faced with a proper comedian in Bill Bailey

He's good at shock humour but doesn't have the intelligence to carry anything off

If you happen to be a 20/30 something bright young thing with good career prospects leading a smug middle class lifestyle but in denial of it and just dripping with the sort of liberal values that you practice but never preach ........ you'll lurve him. :roll:

i saw him a couple of years ago and thought he was quite good. dealt with hecklers very well, unlike some on here....... :roll:

I've got tickets to see him in Newcastle in February, Town Hall I think. Looking forward to it, always good to see how they manage a live performance.

I saw him live last year and again this year and thought he was very funny on both occasions.

Jimmy Carr gives a good show. A little predictable iwith a string of shocking one liners. To be a great night he needs good audience participation. I saw him in Cheltenham and the audience was just too nice.

Saw Reginald D Hunter earlier in the week and he was excellent. His deep Georgia drawl and different perspective is a very refreshing change. Get to see him if you get the chance clappp

He is shit though Mr Dough. Someone at work took his dvd in for us to watch the other week and only a few people laughed a couple of times and that was about it, I couldn't understand half the stuff he was saying.

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Thu Dec 11, 2008 12:18 pm

Well I think for what he did at the time he did it he was very good!!!! :coool:

parmopooly · **Posted:** Thu Dec 11, 2008 12:56 pm

way back then it was very topical and pertinent for his target audience.These days folks would wonder what he was going on about.

He's doing back to back nights in Woking a few days after Hull.

Maybe he's starting a world tour. :roll:
