I like the way people say some of the comedians are unfunny I mean fair enough if you dont like the comedy thats your opinion but when pepole say stuff like "Russell is so unfunny he just brings the whole showdown what a tosspot" Im like Id like to see you do better than him mate.
Fantastic warm-up. It would be worth going to the show just to get the buzz from the warm-up. Other than practice, what the most important aspect of learning to open like he did?
ive only ever seen him do stand up once but ive seen him compere comedy clubs loads of times so you could say this is his trade. sort of greasing the laughing wheels so the comedians dont come on to a flat audience.
I disagree. Russel Howard is awful, in my opinion. Other than him, their all funny, and the best guests must be Stewart Francis, David Mitchell and Ed Byrne. MTW FTW!
only the bbc would publish anything like this - mocking itself and not caring. would ITV, or SKY publish anything like this with their name on it? I think not. Long live the tv license if this is the kind of comedy that the BBC can create. :-)
Yay!!! I thought i recognised him! Just have to laugh everytime i see the names 'dan patterson' and 'mark leverson' at the end of mock the week now, cos of them reading out the credits on 'whose line'. i miss that show! :)
HAHAHA! "Hello BBC BroadBand! Why don't you get off your arse and come to the fucking show and see it live!" I love his jokes XD Take tht BBC! Mwahahaha! lol XD
Because the series' over, you can't get them at the moment, but check out the website - they go through a company called SRO Audiences, which is fine and all that and don't ask for many details (you get the ticket electronically and print it out). They film on the Tuesday night for broadcasting on the Thursday.
Getting tickets is easy, fast, and pretty reliable. I really encourage you to do it!
even tho the scorin "is arse" hahaha Mock The Week is a great show, if u laugh on da inside - u are of fuck all use. Dara is great (frankie is my fave tho0
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
So even the host recognises that the scoring system is a load of rubbish. I'd like to think that they'd excise it out of future editions, but my faith in this programme is extremely limited...
well multipletom, I think the show is more about trying to be funny, rather than points and winning. Other shows like Buzzcocks just arse around during speed rounds, thus showing the emphasis is on humour. If you want points, go and watch Countdown or University Challenge(d).
Mock the week is great, the scoring system is just a little add on, doesn't matter in the end, cos I reckon the scoring is rigged..but its flipping hilarious! I don't care about the scoring! xD
I'm the kind of person who laughs on the inside... Fuck my life. I'm a sad human being who does not have the ability to laugh.
