baggy89 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Heard a story once about Tommy Cooper at Aberdeen airport. He was sitting in the bar having a drink waiting for his plane and there was a load of riggers in there after coming back from off-shore. As they got more pissed they got more lairy and one spots Tommy so he starts bugging him shouting "Hey Tommy show us a trick, come one just one trick" Tommys nae impressed and just wants to be left alone, but the guy keeps on hassling him eventually he goes "Alright I've got a smashing trick for you, give us your watch" so the guy takes off his Rolex and gives it to Tommy Cooper who then says to the guy behind the bar "Have you got a hammer?", so the barman goes off and comes back with a hammer. Tommy then wraps the watch in a bar towel, smashes the shite out of the Rolex and hands it back to the guy, and says "There you are there's your smashing trick!"

Kowalski Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Saw Rob Brydon last night, very good but the best parts were the audience interaction which he didn't do enough of IMHO. I didn't realise what a good singer he was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise what a good singer he was! I thought he was brilliant, possibly the best i've ever seen. When he started singing at the end the song from 'Gavin and Stacey' that was the first time I realised he was even in it, I should maybe check it out? First time i'd ever gone to a comedy gig by myself, and it was actually alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quirie Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I remember seeing something of his on TV, think he was called Keith Barret at the time on live at the apollo, and was surprised how funny he was live. ive just be arsing around on youtube and watched a vid of him on QI about welsh racism. Would of post it on here but BBC disabled it from being embedded. This is the song he did in Gavin and Stacey. Its being released for comic relief. Full version with story bit before the song Song only version for those who cant be bothered listening to the story part http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1P3FB2D1Sbc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneZero Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Chubby Brown coming to Orkney soon. Great. Seen Chubby Brown couple of times, thought he was shit first time, little bit better second (went second time as mate wanted to go, he is English and had sat through Braveheart with me!!!). I know very current but really like Frankie Boyle. Also like Jimmy Carr. From my past, been to see Billy Connolly and Freddie Starr a few times. Both total class. Not sure I'd be so keen on Freddie Starr these days (wierd fucker) but back when I saw him in 1985 he was class. Seen few negatives on here re Jim Davidson. Got to say that matches what people in general say but, seen him live too and his live show is hilarious (and, in my experience, his support are usualy pretty good too).

I've seen him live too and thought he was very good, and as you say always has a good support act too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeeBass Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 Saw Jason Manford (team captain on Eight Out Of Ten Cats/Man City fan) last Friday night at The Maltings in Berwick-upon-Tweed. Loved every minute of it (second row from the front) and to get just under two and a half hours for £12 was certainly value for money. Got my photo taken with him too even when I was told that pictures were only allowed if they`re were two or more people going up at a time. Couldn`t find anybody to come along so flew solo.

Penfold Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Went to see Ed Byrne last night. Was better than I expected him to be as I thought I might have heard most of it before on Mock The Week/Live at the Apollo etc. but I had only heard only 1 or 2 gags before.

Reekie_Red Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Ed Byrne's an odd one. I can't decide whether he's funny or just repetitive. There's a few British/Irish comedians in that boat just now for me, imho, including Frankie Boyle, Danny Bhoy (how many times can he tell the "you can tell a nation's disposition by their national breakfast dish" gag?), Mark Watson and shite scouse comic Jeff Green. Mind you, I did go to see Irish comedian Jimeoin last year. He repeated one joke that I'd seen him do on the tele right at the start of his gig. But from then onwards, it was completely new material which had the entire theatre pissin themselves with laughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDU_64 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Watched Russell Howard's live DVD the other night. Thought it was funny as fuck and I had only heard 1 or 2 of his gags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
