its painfully obvious russle just makes up all of his stories for his stand up, which isnt really good stand up, i would rather har jokes rather than pointless weird stories
I'm a woman but there are only a handful of female comedians I like. The only two that spring to mind right now are Jo and Gina. Other than that all my favourite comedians are men.
I'm afraid I have to disagree - there's the obvious difference that she's a geordie and he's Irish, but apart from that her stand up is MUCH more blue than his.
when i was watching i thought it rather ignorant of him to remain seated for that round. it looked as if he said - i dont normally do this round so why should i now that frankie isnt doing it? 3 people looked so daft
i dont hate him - i happen to think he adds something to the show when hes on but having 3 people looks stupid in the standup round. i know its all whose line jokey with the fake points but if they just cut all that crap and have it as every man for himself and have one seriously chosen winner that would be more appopriate for the direction the shows taking
@johnnydontcry57 Apparently he's quitting stand-up after his 2010 tour and concentrating on writing. Guy's got a young family and health issues, you can understand why he wants to de-stress a bit.
Russell has never told a story about his mum that didn't cause me to cry with laughter. The pride he takes in her lunacy is an inspiration to us all!
PS The difference between the US and UK usage of the word "fannie" has been a problem for me over the years. Thanks to Russell's tale of his mum's "magic fannie" I think I'll be able to keep that straight for the rest of my life. Getting the image out of my head might be harder
Frankie's clearly gonna finish the series in the penalty box, and David Mitchell and Hugh Denis aren't stand ups so they always sit this round out. I actually wondered about this when I saw the line up and thought maybe it's a sign that Frankie's gonna get up there again.
We all sort of assumed that Frankie was told to sit the stand up round out, but does anyone know if that's true? Any chance he's just not writing material at the moment?

@sebolavarria He said it was turning into to much of a competition, with people just trying to get their own jokes out. He got bored.
If anything, the media is getting more lax. It wouldn't make any sense to push Frankie off.

True, but I'd add Lucy Porter to that list as well. She is so cute and hella funny.
Germany actually has an impressive list of really great comediennes. Shame they can't appear here.

I reckon they should let David Mitchell have a go in the stand up round, one of his rants would make a brilliant bit of stand up.

WorstThereEverWillBe 2 years ago
They both aren't doing it because neither do stand up.
Frnakie is giving up stand-up, which is why every figures he's not doing it and (as far as I'm aware) David doesn't do stand up either.
So it seems a bit cold hearted to hate on him for not changing his billing just because Frankie changed his.

Is that what it is? I was wondering why Frankie hadn't done the standup round all season. Any idea what he's doing if he isn't doing standup?
