What's not shit then, radarmaker?

Yes! Comedy Vehicle is brilliant.

<3

also richard pryor, dave gorman, stephen fry, demetri martin, sarah silverman and the apatow gang

'cos the whole thing is a deconstruction of typical TV comedy, right? Unless I'm just reading too much into it...



Don't get me wrong - the Comedy Vehicle is the best UK comedy show I've seen in ages and Stewart Lee is without equal in this country today, but there's no disguising the fact that every single one of the sketches is fucking dire and serves only to badly reiterate a point he's already made much more succinctly.


But yeah, props to Lee & Charlie Brooker for bringing 2 regular weekly doses of rationalism to the nation's screens. And being funny while they do it. Just lose the fucking sketches next time.

i think you're reading too much into it. i totally agree with the second point.

there isn't much I don't laugh at once I get started.. But often I dont like anything/anyone repetitive. As in, one joke counts for one laugh. You can't milk it for ten minutes, move on. So.. really I like comedians that wander through stories in their stand up

so many that I cannot think of.. I'll watch anyone at least once.. Comedy festival is my favourite time of year in Melbourne and I'm not there. :(

It's allllllll about the Mitch.

I like Demitri Martin as well.

Ha! Yes. He's very funny.

have you seen his show? It's really good

No, I haven't, just youtubed him.

I know Demetri Martin from all the spots he gets on comedy festivals they televise around here.

demetri martin is pretty ok.

Though he seems more like a nerdy, anti-drug version of mitch hedberg.

He's like the watered down version.

But at least not a direct rip off.

RIP

I agree, i'm seeing Stewart Lee tomorrow at Norwich.

He's the funniest comedian out there. Him and Soulja Boy.

ahem i would just like to point out MEAT ON THE FACE how much longer could you milk that for?!!! but it was hilarious!
but not as funny as 'show me... show me... show me where yr mother lives!!' now that was a shorter joke which didnt leave me thinking about different ways to attach meat to yr face all week

Stewart Lee was great on friday night, i highly recommend you go see him if you get the chance, he's touring all over the uk at the moment. Got to speak to him afterwards and got his autograph. Apparently he went to school with Napalm Death! :D

Please sign this petition for a new series of Stewart Lee's comedy vehicle, it was one of the funniest shows on tv but the BBC doesn't want a second series.

I signed it.

Have you been watching the new series of The Thick of It? I think that's one of the funniest shows at the moment.

no i've missed it, will try and catch it though.

Yeah, you'll love it. Last time I checked all of the episodes were on Iplayer.

right, thanks.

Nice! Even more excited for the fact Tim Key is in it as well. I love Tim Key.

Robin Williams' stand up is untouchable.

Are you talking about this Robin Williams??? He's one the worst comedians ever. A really punchable face too.

I miss Dave Chapelle

Definitely!
