“In England they’ve got no time for comedy. They don’t laugh at all. They have no muscles in their faces. So they just stare blankly with their dead, cold eyes.”
So says that top-draw Scots comedian, Danny Bhoy, currently in Canada for the Just for Laughs festival.
Who? Yeah, I’ve never heard of him either. [...]
Oh Danny Bhoy…
Stanley Baxter Returns!
So formulating an interesting post about Have I Got News For You, I was blown away to discover that TV favourite Stanley Baxter is making a return to television for a one-off Christmas special.
John Kaye Cooper of ITV has commissioned the show:
“For over two decades Stanley’s award-winning shows were pure comedy gold, and we are [...]
My Pussy is Haunted
Our Frankie Boyle has caused a wee bit of a storm this week, thanks to a two year old clip on the current compilation run of Mock the Week.
During one of the standup rounds, the topic being “Things You Wouldn’t Hear in the Queen’s Speech”, Boyle offered:
‘I have had a few medical issues this year [...]
The Real Winner - Brand, Ross, Sachs or Georgia “Voluptua” Baillie?
Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand’s schoolboy misdemeanour should by now have been dealt with swiftly and decisively, with Wossy removed from radio and Brand subjected to heavy input from a mature, experienced producer bereft of traits such as sycophancy.

Andrew Sachs is apparently still offended (its [...]
What does Georgia Baillie think about the Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross scandal?

There’s more….

So, what’s all the fuss about?
Prepare to be bored…

Has Ross’ Time Come?
Andrew Sachs really is a sort of comedy royalty, and frankly the man who made Manuel the lovable character we know and love is the last person who should be receiving inappropriate phonecalls live on air.
Jonathan Ross - ever the schoolboy despite his obviously advanced years - and the suggestible Russell Brand obviously didn’t think [...]
Up Yours Cowell
Apparently, Simon Cowell tuned in to Peter Kay’s Britain’s Got the Pop Factor… and found it clever - but considers Winners Song “pathetic” and “a waste of time”.
Just held off the top by US scary lady Pink, Peter Kay as Geraldine McQueen nevertheless embarrassed Cowell and his latest protege Leon thingy, who won last years [...]
This week on HIGNFY…
Paul Merton and Ian Hislop are joined this week by guest host Alexander Armstrong.
Let’s hope “Xander” can resume proceedings on the Have I Got News For You ship whoch requires considerable steadying after Fern Brittain’s abortive attempt last week.
Armstrong is of course a steady hand, and just what is needed before next weeks no doubt [...]
