Shappi Khorsandi 'Question Time' - Live at the Apollo Series 6 Episode 4 Preview - BBC One

[bookl0ver]

she''s funny i like her not enough female comedians

who run the world? GIRLS!

[AlexanderT21]

Don't see what everyone's complaining about, she's not that bad.

[jasonleigh1974]

women just arent funny

[spartanses]

boring

[betover68]

her delivery is awful and so are her jokes. Actually she sucks all the way, but don't tell the BBC this, before you know it she sues for discrimination.

[samuself]

she may not be brilliantly funny...but damn she is gorgeous

[eratosphenes]

i would totally hit that.

[persiancomedy]

Shappi s strong and knows how to deliever. She simply says how reserved people are to descibe others while pretending to be curtious! Great job.....Live Love and Laughter is the only way!!!

[spookymoo]

Funny how she can talk about race but if a white comedian did this routine he would be classed as a racist. Funny old world eh!!

[liveoutyourlife]

She's about as funny as every other woman comedian. so shit.

[sheilatakeabow1990]

@liveoutyourlife If anyone else told her jokes, you'd probably be laughing. Her gender has nothing to do with how funny she is. There are a number of hilarious female comedians, including Shappi Khorsandi.

[sams2471992]

@liveoutyourlife

Oh right, and I suppose you're funnier.

[shouryuuken100]

Holy shit, her calves are HUGE!

[blm1990]

Race or not, she's just not funny.

[babeeshopiez123]

when i watched this with my mum we were so bored

in my opinion, she sucks.

[megamerryn]

@babeeshopiez123 well why re watch the video??

[DaneilleJones]

i like Michael McIntyre  the best

[JagDhaliwal1]

shes fuckin funni

[SNPCeltic]

Hilaious thing is there are only three races in the world, an British & Persians belong to the same one. So i don't really see where race comes into this, she just talks about how Politcal correctness is shit. Which is absolutely true.

[nadiasnewkidstv]

She gets more awful everytime I see her, I won't make that mistake again!

[jakenathan24]

Oh wow... on this show she used old material and talked about being Iranian, what a surprise!

[HooYou1000]

I was in the actual audience. Huge venue, huge crowd and she was brilliant, everyone laughed loads. I'm just telling it like it was. My opinion. Very funny, likeable and hot too.

[MrHoneyPot25]

Shappi herself aside... what boring criticisms there are here.

Of course she talks about race! What, you want her to talk about how socks mysteriously go missing in the wash? Or her period, seeing she's a woman?

Chris Rock talks mostly about being black, as does Dave Chappelle (because the ARE black).

Simon Amstel's latest DVD consists of one long story about him being gay (because he IS gay).

Comedians talk about themselves and their own outlook on the world : )

[allecctori]

@MrHoneyPot25 Yeah, but i haven't seen many comedians talking about being white because they ARE white. Black comedians don't all have to talk about race, I think they've got outlooks on the world based on other things than the color of their skin.

[boxing238]

@MrHoneyPot25 chris rock and dave chappelle yea but there actually funny

[Gadgets7777777]

@MrHoneyPot25

Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle do not come across as defensive in any way about being black, whereas as Shappi Khorsandi seems very defensive when it comes to her ethnicity. She lacks any comedic value because she's clearly too serious about these issues, with her "Stand up against racism" talks. She said herself, she's obsessed with political correctness, which is of great detriment to her standup.

[CrimpyStryder5958]

@Gadgets7777777 don't quite see how she's being 'serious' here - that is why people laughed...

[Highheidyin]

@MrHoneyPot25 When asked by Jonathon Ross about why she talks about being Iranian in her comedy Shappi replied "Well, I have been Iranian for quite a long time". I think that proves your point. :P

[dramaticafantastica]

@MrHoneyPot25 Goodness, how well put :)

[Joooliuss]

@MrHoneyPot25 yeah doesn't make her any less shit.

[ProtestTheIndie]

@MrHoneyPot25

And you know what, that's why I find none of them particularly funny as stand-ups.

[samsung54369]

i thought it was quite funny

[7Heaven8ROONEY]

yeah as a british asian this woman is always banging on about race and its cringworthy. Only like it when Omid Djalli does it cos he is so joookes

[troyster2811]

i really hate comedians that have to play on their race just to be funny, it just isnt!!!

[7Heaven8ROONEY]

@troyster2811 i agree and i'm asian

[pauseTV]

I'm disappointed, because she can be really funny at times.

[scrumpled]

Oh wow, you're talking about race? I really didn't see that one coming.

[ihussain81]

@scrumpled ahahahahha it just fucking annoys me when they play the "race card"

[Mankind081]

Not funny.

[zenloki2007]

@Mankind081 agreed....it was shit

[xIMunchyIx]

@zenloki2007 indeed it was.
